Rubber Chicken Paradox

The rubber chicken paradox describes the effect of decision making on willpower. As noted, making decisions can deplete one's willpower, effectively leaving one unable to perform the task decided upon. For instance when the chicken decides to cross the road, its willpower is depleted and it becomes unable to carry out its decision - it collapses not from indecision, rather from lack of will power to complete the action decided upon - so it is rendered unable to effect the course of action decided upon. It collapses like a rubber chicken.

Origin of the Phrase

The phrase was coined by Robert Andrews a graduate of Cornell University in 2014, to describe the paradox of inaction due to decision making, contrasted with "analysis paralysis" but with a similar outcome.
