Let's mess around with our minds.

The Rick Astley paradox. If you ask him for his copy of the movie up, he cannot give it to you as he would be giving you up, but he also can't not give it to you as he would be letting you down.

    If...
    I won't take it lying down!
    I'm not gonna sit here and take it!
    I won't stand for it!
    I won't bend the knee on this!
    I won't bow to your demands!
    I'm not bending over backwards for it!

    Then, there is no position left to accept things in.

    It doesn't make sense, so your lying! Wait, so you're right... Which means you're lying! Wait... So then you're right! So... Um... I'm dying... AHHHHH

    When you're scared of being alone, you're actually scared of not being alone, so really you're scared of thinking you're alone when you are not alone but you think you're scared of what you really, truly aren't scared of at all.

    The literally concept of a paradox, something that logically makes sense, but contradicts itself, therefore it doesn’t make sense.

    Literally anything we imagine exists in another universe somewhere. So there is a universe where we are all are furries.

    Another one where Trump never became president.

    One where the Republican party aren't like the way they are.

    Another where we haven't poisoned the planet.

    And another where all those are combined and everything is perfect.

    If parallel universes exist is there a parallel universe where parallel universes don't exist?

    If parallel universes exist. Then the parallel universe of a parallel universe would be a non parralel universe, and the parallel of that would be a parallel universe and the parallel of that would be a non parallel and the parallel of that would be a parallel universe and the parallel of that would be a non parallel and the parallel of that would be a parallel universe and the parallel of that would be a non parallel and the parallel of that would be a parallel universe and the parallel of that would be a non parallel and the parallel of that would be a parallel universe and the parallel of that would be a non parallel and the parallel of that would be a parallel universe and the parallel of that would be a non parallel and the parallel of that would be a parallel universe and the parallel of that would be a non parallel and the parallel of that would be a parallel universe and the parallel of that would be a non parallel universe…right?(no.)

    Natural light can be in all colors except from black, right? I mean not the normal black light, but like… literal color black light.
    Dunno if this counts as more as a paradox or a brain cell blip, so here is another one: if I say ‘I am lying about this sentence’

    if colors are all on the color spectrum, then how do you ever end up with black or white?

    Some colors are combinations of others. Brown isn't in the rainbow color spectrum. It's a mix of different colors. Now, colors of light (like red light, blue light) mix differently from pigments (like paint.) When you add together different colors of light, eventually you get all the colors at once, which adds up to white. White light is made of red, blue, and green light, as well as combos, like red + green = yellow. This is different from the "red, yellow, blue" primary colors of pigments. Because light waves add up together. But pigments do the opposite. Pigments absorb different wavelengths of light, and what you see as a pigment's "color" is actually the only wavelengths it reflects. So mixing pigments is different. When you mix together so many pigments that they don't reflect any light, you get black. Likewise, if you're dealing with different colors of light, if you start with white light and take away the red light, blue light, and green light, what are you left with? No light. Black.

    For me it will always be the grandfather paradox.
    And the butterfly effect as well.

    I've spend way to long thinking about these.

    One personal one tho is panphobia, the fear of everything. It just confuses me cus how do you live if every thing causes you to have extreme anxiety?
