[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]Another predestination paradox, according to 7of9, is the movie "First Contact". The borg disrupt first contact on earth, which leads the starship Enterprise (with Picard) to help Cograine with his warp-flight. So, the federation thanks its existance to the borg.[/quoteost_uid0]

Correction, this is called the 'Pogo-paradox', the causality loop in which interference to prevent an event actually triggers the same event. I just assumed it was a predestination paradox.[/colorost_uid0]
