The paradox of Strongman Rule:
The ”stronger” the man on top,
the more submission they require.
The more submissive those below,
the more weakness they let slip.
This is why strongmen always lead their countries to poverty & pitifullness.

#Complementarity is a fundamental principle that always needs to be accounted for.
Too many of our biases direct thinking toward group think, black & white binaries. This is reinforced & amplified in social (qty) situations, including science, the media, & education.

My solution to the liars paradox is geometry. Especially topology.
A liars paradox is just a linguistic Möbius strip. It has only one side and only looks like having more.
If you follow one path, you will realize it.
The >>whole<< object is a lie.

(3/4) #CognitiveDissonance, the psychological discomfort when there is inconsistency btwn one's actions & beliefs, affects dietary decisions. The meat #paradox exemplifies this internal conflict.

Walking by a kindergarten closed for long weekend yesterday:
Wife: "They use method by M... Mussolini there, don't they?"
Me: "You mean M... Montessori...?"
Wife: "Yes, M... Montessori!"
*However* found today that Maria Montessori had a "decade-long, but largely ignored, cooperation with Benito Mussolini"

"...researchers note that the global trends seem to present a "disease paradox whereby reduced acute mortality exposes survivors..."
Not sure where the #paradox is; #bigCorps have focused on treating #disease and not curing or preventing disease. The max-profit-point is in treatments not cures or prevention. Those just reduce cost and do not increase the concentration of wealth.

I'm on a quest to see how many #paradox es can be reduced down to a generalized version of the #One and the #Many. (Hybrid of Sorites/Theseus/Quantifier, etc)
Below, we'd ask: how many lies does one need to tell before earning the label of 'liar'?
Capacity is not Actuation.

My favorite #ecology paper is "The Paradox of the Plankton" published in 1961 by G. Evelyn Hutchinson. This #paradox exists because resources are always limited (nutrients, light), yet algae have high diversity. This runs counter to the Competitive Exclusion Principal which states some should die out. Hutchinson proposed equilibrium never exists because environmental and ecological variability constantly creates new niches. A fantastic read
