"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong" is a misrepresentation of Murphy's Law The actual statement of Murphy's Law is; "If there are two or more ways to do something and one of those results in a catastrophe, then someone will do it that way." It's a law about engineering and the ability of people to make wrong choices. Heck, There's a 50/50 chance you'll put a USB in wrong and yet you get it wrong 99% of the time "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong" is Sod's Law And Finagle's Law is similar but more pessimistic "whatever can go wrong, will go wrong, and at the worst possible moment"
I heard about a bovine creature that allows large birds to perch upon it. It's a Parrot Ox. And then there's the airborn trooper from the town in the south of France. Which is a Para d'Auch
Don't forget about the Rick Astley Paradox. If you ask the singer for the Disney/pixar movie up, he won't be able to give it to you, but in the process, he lets you down.
This is all very superficial. A list with 25 links (or fewer, as not all are (different) paradoxes) to Wikipedia would have been more useful than a 13-minute video with barely any content. Not subscribed 🙂

There's the Subscribers Paradox in which it doesn't matter if you ask people to subscribe because their decision to subscribe or not is not based on whether or not they were asked to.
You failed to explain the Achilles and the tortoise paradox adequately. The premise is that every time the tortoise (slowly) covered a distance, Achilles would then (quickly) cover half of it. However, this way he could never reach it, even for an infinitesimal distance.
😼😼😼To My understanding, it went that the tortoise kept on going & periodically catch up to it. The tortoise wins because Achilles can only catch up to him, never preceding him.

Another way to view the predestination paradox is your going back in time inadvertently caused the very thing you were trying to prevent. My favorite example of this is the Fairly Odd Parents episode; The Secret Origins of Denzel Crocker.
When I was young, I was taught that God was completely good and completely powerful. So of course at a certain point, you find out about human suffering and like, childhood Cancers and things like that. So I'm like, either he isn't all-powerful because he can't stop the kids from getting cancer or he isn't all good because he can stop it and chooses not to. And then I was told that God works in mysterious ways. And I think that's where all my problems began lol.
1:09 "freedom to choose" is not a contradiction. No, your choice will not always be the best, correct one for your benefit. But free choice being a paradox is intellectual word salad from folks who believe confusion = education. Perhaps it behooves a person to learn as much as possible about everything [rather than obsessing over "celebs" and pop culture dreck] so as to magnify their opportunities to analyze and choose correctly?
Here's how I think it's a paradox. You would think that having several choices might help you make a decision, but keep adding choices, and sometimes it's so overwhelming that NO decision can be made. This is how I feel when I go down some aisles at the grocery store. Sometimes there are so many choices that I end up making no choice at all. So I see it not as a paradox between making the right or wrong choice, but whether a choice can be made at all. (Of course, the easiest choice is if there is only ONE choice. Then it's easy to say yes or no, and no paradox exists.)
Start your education with the subjects of psychology, propaganda, and finance. You’ll learn that analysis is heavily manipulated so that the humans choose "correctly".
@@bikeczarmagicschool Someone who calls himself the Czar of Magic School wants me to be more educated than the two degrees I already have. Want me to enroll in your Wizard 101 class?🤡🤡🤡
A "heap", to me, should be defined as something that is taller than it is wide. Epicurus said hedonism was accepting whatever is present that's pleasurable and away from whatever is unpleasant that can be avoided, but accepting what can't be avoided (the Stockdale Paradox). Learn to accept the neutral middle ground as pleasant
If a god like being is asked to make something to big for them to lift and then to lift it. The being makes the object and proves they can not lift it, then goes back in time, watches themself make and prove they can't lift it, then the two of themseleves lift it. just a fun thought.
It's easy to prove that there are infinitely many interesting numbers, by way of contradiction. Assume there is a limited number of interesting numbers, with the largest such number being N. Now, this means that N+1 is first of an infinite number of uninteresting numbers, which makes N+1 a very interesting number itself.
@5:16 as a child my father pretty much cursed me (if curses were, you know, real) by saying that Carlson's law was: Murphy was an optimist. Thanks dad. :D
The court case paradox ISN'T a paradox ( like you likened it to be ) . A win = A WIN ( regardless of when it happens ) . The teacher still has to pay his law student to congratulate him on his win EVEN IF the win came after many failed attempts . There was NO timeline set for achieving the win ( Or IF the win had to be immediate upon first attempt ) . Although there are many paradoxes of failure/achievement in my life that will mean nothing to you unless you've witnessed my life . ♑✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺
"You need a job to gain work experience, but all employers require you to have work experience before they hire you." For all you entitled youngsters, I suggest hit the books, or get used to saying "would you like fries with that?" Until robots take your job........
Dwight Eisenhower was called the most successful person of the 20th Century. He was supreme commander of the European theater of World War II, so they elected him president. He got us out of the shooting war in Korea and presided over low inflation, full employment and balanced budgets. So, with him on such a great roll, they re-elected him. He had ambitious plans to rein in redundant military spending and congressional pork barreling and he had the people on his side. Then, Sputnik was launched and the U2 plane was downed and all his plans went down the tubes. This is the success paradox. Being seen as successful gets you promoted until things finally go wrong.
1:44 OK, Mike, another fine example of intellectual BS taking something that takes NO sense then gussying it up and saying it's your fault if don't "get" just how smart *they* are. So, far, my dude, you're disappointing me...
Mike, what about the TH-cam Paradox ? Everyday about 3.7 million new videos are added. If you just watch new content, you will never live long enough to watch every video ever made.
Already subscribed, but you got my like after your "trust me" after "having God like powers isn't all that's it's cracked up to be!" Also, if there is a "heap" paradox, shouldn't there be a "few" paradox? We really don't have a set definition of few other than it's bigger than one.
I'm a big fan and practitioner of the sh-t happens paradox... Meaning, the more you try to avoid it, the more likely you are to inadvertently step in something worse! But if you just go with it, you know for a fact you're gonna step in it eventually no matter what.... If you're not intelligent enough to understand that, here's the most basic version. So will you beat yourself or let life beat you harder?!😒
11630, If you add the numbers in this statement together 1+1+6+3+0 you get 11. If you add these 1+1 you get 2 and you stated that two is an interesting number there for so is 11630. Never challenge a numerologist.
Hi Mike Estrin, Daniel the Stewart, long time viewer this-time commenter. Is Fermi paradox coming in hot? I'm still at 18 or something, listening to a guy owing for winning or something - it was #20
Paradox of choice. Open book exam. You have 1 minute per question to write an answer. It takes you 1 minute to look up an answer in your book or Google. Then 1 more minute to write the answer. You can only get half of them right before your time runs out. So knowing your work makes it easier. Your choice to either study or not study.
The paradox I’ve always liked it still and not I can’t untie is this” you can’t have wealth without power, but to obtain power you have to have wealth. ” in another one that’s always bugging me is.” Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely but the paradox is this explain to me why it is if absolute power corrupts absolutely how is it some people can walk the halls of institutions power like our United States, Congress and Senate, and still remain innocent, and there are people that are there that are innocentand surrounded by power every day, but not because power can be seductive and it can be a shortcut to a lot of things but how is it certain people can avoid wanting more power or power itself and other people can’t get enough like an addiction hence the paradox
This video would have been a lot better if you actually explained the issues. I literally came away from this video with net negative learning. This is something I've noticed a lot in you videos lately; so much quality could be added to them by a few sentences more in each entry I keep waiting hoping it will happen.
"I am lying," and, "This statement is false," or any such self-contradictions are false logic, because constancy of truth is a property of truth, in the absence of any change in conditions. So such statements are ambiguous at best, misleading and confusing in their irrational inconsistency, and potentially outright lies of obfuscation. These are not statements of logic to begin with, and are considered 'false' by public and civil standards, but by semantic definitions are called 'invalid' statements, because they cannot be rationalized. Relying upon such a statement as a premise allows for proof that anything is true or anything is false. This is another demonstration of the untruth of the statement, as any logical extension of a given premise yields only as much truth as the premise itself holds. The limits of the logic show the limits of the premise, in this case the limit is at the origin.
And that optimism and pessimism one just over simplifies everything one reason people enjoy bad things cuz there bad if you could just do it and not have to worry about it it wouldn’t be fun anymore.
The paradox of choice: Go down the toothpaste aisle or the shampoo aisle at the store. Sometimes there are so many choices, I end up waiting until my next trip to the store.
Same thing in the cereal aisle! 🤦 I wind up settling for ordinary Kellogg's Corn Flakes because there are just *TOO MANY OPTIONS!* My worst nightmare is shopping for a new vehicle!
I'm using a new video editor, and the first time I called up the font list to type a caption on screen, I saw so many choices, it would have required a week to test each one out. And I just wanted a readable caption, that's all.
Would you say "the heap" paradox is similar to the "new boat" paradox? If I buy an old wooden boat and replace an old piece of wood with a new one everyday, when does my old boat become a new boat? Kinda the same???
Rationalizing how omniscience and omnipotence are not inherently contradictory to free will is a central theme of most theology and a basic premise to all questions of the humanities and essential to individual identity, conscience, and moral integrity.
The free choice paradox is not really a paradox. We all face choices every day and we are free to choose from those choices. It is the consequences of those choices that we are not free to choose. That is where the problem arises in the so called paradox. Mike is confusing the choice with the consequence of the choice.
With regards to the "heap", part of the determining factors for me is not numerical so much as geometrical and content based. Or just the old tractor in the back of the barn
good list though I think most of them turn out to have an explanation when you look at them more closely so I would say they're only paradoxes on the surface so to speak⚛😀
9:49 More intellectual BS. First of all, God is smart enough to NOT "make a rock so great He cannot lift it." (What an old, invalid piece of garbage-think!)
the first one is a triplet of three possibilities, 1 there's is a smallest piece of space and time, 2 there's a smallest piece of space but not time and 3 neither space or time have a smallest one. Last one is the correct thing, at least outside of atomic/quantum space
Perhaps, Mike, you should spend more time learning to pronounce words correctly. Such as OMNIPOTENCE. It is not pronounced as you said it, several times.

I'm using a new video editor, and the first time I called up the font list to type a caption on screen, I saw so many choices, it would have required a week to test each one out. And I just wanted a readable caption, that's all.
@@brianarbenz1329 Yep, I get it.
I hate that I go down an aisle to see a plethora of choices only to find that the brand I love and have been buying for years is now discontinued!
Would you say "the heap" paradox is similar to the "new boat" paradox? If I buy an old wooden boat and replace an old piece of wood with a new one everyday, when does my old boat become a new boat? Kinda the same???
I usually enjoy these lists. But I had to stop this one after "omnipotence" was repeatedly mispronounced.
Should have been a good video, but the explanations of why they are paradoxes is lacking..
Most basic paradox. You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. We live it everyday.
All you did was name the paradoxes and add a little rant. Would have been much more satisfying to actually learn about what the paradoxes were.
Rationalizing how omniscience and omnipotence are not inherently contradictory to free will is a central theme of most theology and a basic premise to all questions of the humanities and essential to individual identity, conscience, and moral integrity.
The free choice paradox is not really a paradox. We all face choices every day and we are free to choose from those choices. It is the consequences of those choices that we are not free to choose. That is where the problem arises in the so called paradox. Mike is confusing the choice with the consequence of the choice.
With regards to the "heap", part of the determining factors for me is not numerical so much as geometrical and content based. Or just the old tractor in the back of the barn
The Terminator Paradox is merely (?) a variartion of the infamous Grandfather Paradox.
Remember that scene in labyrinth with the riddle door guards?? Would be cool to hear mike explain that one
good list though I think most of them turn out to have an explanation when you look at them more closely so I would say they're only paradoxes on the surface so to speak⚛😀
Haha hadn't seen the whole thing when I posted the comment about a paradox that actually was in the video 😂
I’ve always hated these there’s some actual paradox’s but most of the are just a play on words.
Beverly Crusher and Leonard McCoy are the Star Trek pair o' docs.
Stockdale paradox EMBRACE THE SUCK
You are not explaining anything. Last one I watch from you.
A couple of genuine paradoxes, one or two ancient ones since resolved, and a whole lotta filler.
This guy is a nerd. Probably a failure of son of a senator!!! 😮😊
Good presentation, Mike and team. Did you think of this one? "Dig half a hole."
9:49 More intellectual BS. First of all, God is smart enough to NOT "make a rock so great He cannot lift it." (What an old, invalid piece of garbage-think!)
Yeah, He would just say, "It is written: 'Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God,'" then make you run around like a goat and eat thistles for 40 years.
The greatest paradox of all is when you put a paradox in the washer and when done there's only one left.
So according to 24 in choosing to watch this video I made the wrong choice?
I think you missed the most important one Mike, Fermi’s paradox!
Crumb, split one, you have two crumb.
the first one is a triplet of three possibilities, 1 there's is a smallest piece of space and time, 2 there's a smallest piece of space but not time and 3 neither space or time have a smallest one. Last one is the correct thing, at least outside of atomic/quantum space
excellent choice of background music !
Engrish so gud! Studied rong time!! Lol.😊
Perhaps, Mike, you should spend more time learning to pronounce words correctly. Such as OMNIPOTENCE. It is not pronounced as you said it, several times.
I’ve always heard it ppronounced “om NIP uh tense.” English is frustrating.
How did you miss the Theseus Ship Paradox?
*me looking at this after he uploaded it again* wtf?
5 minutes in and still no real reason for this video. Bye
The heap one got you another subscriber. 👍
Once we get tired of counting it becomes a heap
Am I the only one who had to rewind to hear them again
I had to discern whether narrator was saying, "This is Mike with List 25" or "This is Mike Estrin", because he slurs over the intro at the same time the graphic of his name pops up.
I've been watching Mike faithfully for five years and he's always said, ""This is Mike with List 25."
@@brianarbenz1329 It took me several listens to get what he is saying. To me is was coming out, "This smywi List 25." Just advising a little enunciation, like my music director instructs.
@@tommunyon2874 Upon my giving in a second listen, you're right. He rushes it. It has too much text packed into the space allotted. I've been a Mike devotee for so long, his standard intro is ingrained in my mind.
Don't forget the grandfather paradox
What about the ship of theseus paradox?
but that background music though
Hidden propaganda. Sure of it.
These kind of videos give me a headache!
These aren't even paradoxes.......
These weren't as interesting as I expected.
Loving the background music😂
Thank you for your videos. 😊
5 has the worst name for what it is.
Math hurts my brain! Px
Load of crap .... spare me...
These are stupid.
The flashpoint paradox
