This well recognized and increasingly accepted paradox is still not completely understood.
If we accept the bundle view, rejecting the common view of mind as a substance, as he thinks we must, then we are reduced to "accepting the paradox that something which ex hypothesi is but a series of feelings, can be aware of itself as a series" (Examination of Sir William Hamilton's Philosophy, Ch. XII, p. 194).
This sense of absurdity makes existentialists more accepting of paradoxes.
"She accepted this paradox with a child's resignation".
Because of the obsolescence and ineffectuality of administrative borders we accept the paradox that citizens vote only where they sleep, which is where they perform the least socially relevant activity and probably not the place where they spend most of their time!
Acknowledging the role of contradiction also allows Americans to recognize and accept painful paradoxes in their history like the fact that Virginia was, not by accident, both the cradle of slavery and of our democracy.
Herzog, they felt, was unwilling to accept the fundamental paradox of filmmaking: creating a gripping movie often requires weeks of boredom.
While it is currently accepted that the paradox itself does not exist because the curves will converge if the measurements are made closer to δ=0 (Kovacs' estimates of τeff were made for values as small as δ≈1.6×10−4), the existence of the expansion gap is still a subject of dispute.
It also means keeping an open mind in the face of unknown and of uncertainty, a willingness to embrace contradictions, and paradoxes, and acquiring, accepting and using ambiguous knowledge.
But whichever account of the paradox you accept, the supposedly deleterious effect of a spoiler is diminished.
