Final answer:
The paradox referred to by Kida is the human tendency to believe in falsehoods. This is part of our nature to seek order and make sense of the world, which can lead us to embrace ideas without sufficient evidence and a reluctance to challenge deeply ingrained cultural beliefs.
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the paradoxes of human nature identified by Kida is c) the tendency to believe in falsehoods. Humans, while inherently seeking truth and order, often fall prey to falsehoods, superstitions, or myths to explain the unexplainable and impose order on chaos. The desire to make sense of the world and our experiences can sometimes lead to embracing ideas without sufficient evidence or in spite of evidence to the contrary, a phenomenon known as motivated reasoning. This is further complicated by cultural and societal influences that can shape our beliefs and the way we see the world around us. The vast array of stories, myths, and belief systems can often lead to confusion about what is actually true, as they can't all be true simultaneously. This aligns with Socrates' belief that people do not intentionally choose evil but may do so out of ignorance, believing, albeit mistakenly, that what they are choosing is good or will result in good.
