Most of these are just counterintuitive statements, not paradoxes
-
Ive always felt that if an unstoppable force meets an immovable object it could go through it.
-
I love your work. I clearly understand
-
You forgot the Illusion of Choice You’re in a room. A line moves from left to right across a screen, constantly moving up and down as well. There is a button in the room. The button may or may not affect the line, but you have no way of telling. Is there really a choice here? Or does the button do absolutely nothing?
-
The script was written by AI. I can recognize that style anywhere lol
-
Wow... and people tell me I overthink things - I aint got nothing on the people who came up with these!
-
It was great. What software did you use to make this video?
-
Many of these sound like duplicates. Achilles and the Tortoise resembles the run half way many times paradox. I believe that they are called Xeno's paradox. Heap of sand and grain making noise are pretty similar.
-
Newcomb is a microcosm of The Monty Hall Problem, sans goat. I mean, there could be keys to a brand-new car in the solid-looking box.
-
Also I have a question about the tolerance paradox, by it own definition isn’t tolerance impossible, cause if your tolerance but you have to refuse the intolerance so your not tolerant
-
Dawg you made the same video a month ago ( 1. Just finished watching it and no bashing you just making a statement for the next part ) how have they already come up with more paradox’s

5:19 Hey guys! It’s me, JDH! Today, I have an easy to follow 4-step guide on how to get free weapons! Step 1 — Encounter a salesman selling a sword and a shield, claiming neither can fail, both will prevail. Step 2 — Ask how powerful the sword is. If the salesman wants you to buy the sword, they will keep their story consistent, and respond with something along the lines of “Powerful enough to destroy anything” Step 3 — Ask how powerful the shield is. If the salesman wants you to buy the shield, they will keep their story consistent, and respond with something along the lines of “Powerful enough to deflect anything” Step 4 — Ask which is more powerful between the sword and the shield. If the salesman is to be trusted, the sword would destroy the shield, but also, the shield would deflect the sword. To avoid the question, the salesman would likely give you both for free, say “You know what? Take both, on the house. Farewell!” and run for their life. Thanks for reading this comment! If you found this helpful, be sure to like, and if you have suggestions, leave a reply! Have a great day! * outro music plays *

A grain of millet does make a sound, and it's up to each of us to set a border point. Sensory Psychology sensibly chooses, "When half the people sense it." Most of the rest are language tricks and phenomena wherein quantity bleeds into quality. No biggie - one drink good, seventeen - yuck.
-
Good examples to show that reality is not subordinate to our intellect or perception.
-
Unstoppable Force will win over Immovable Object if Unstoppable Force uses some smarts and simply goes around Immovable Object, since Immovable Object is, well... Immovable. This proves that Unstoppable Force deserves that title, since going around Immovable Object proves the Unstoppability of Unstoppable Force.
-
The irresistible force and immovable object story is not a paradox. All forces are irresistible, and no objects are immovable. Simple mechanics: F = ma, or a = F/m. Apply a force, no matter how small, the object changes its velocity, and deforms a bit during the process.
