But, Mr. Ashton and Mr. Whyte observe, this thought implied a paradox: that "American Adam wants to be back in the garden, but clothed rather than naked, innocent yet equipped with the knowledge of good and evil".
The degeneration hypothesis implies an evolutionary paradox: although meiotic recombination and the mixing of genetic material require two sexes, the genes that establish them may lack the evolutionary advantage of sexual reproduction.
A Friendship paradox does not necessarily imply a Happiness paradox where most individuals are less happy than their friends.
This counter-intuitive result implies a Braess-type paradox, as suggested in the beginning of this section.
The existence of such a fixed point implies a solution to the apparent paradox.
This implies something of a paradox.
This is a paradox because the statement implies the opposite of its own state (i.e. if it is true it is false and if it is false it is true).
In particular, a form of the birthday paradox implies that, in a random functional graph with n vertices, the path starting from a randomly selected vertex will typically loop back on itself to form a cycle within O(√n) steps.
Maudlin (1994, pp. 112-116) argues that superluminal signaling need not imply such paradoxes, as the conditions for them are much more complex than merely the existence of superluminal signaling.
More specifically, his scrutability thesis says, if D is a complete qualitative description of the world, then for all T, it is knowable a priori that D (materially) implies T. Importantly, the knowability paradox does not threaten the claim that true Fitch-conjunctions are derivable a priori from a complete description of the world.
