A "Paradox" is a premise which, if assumed to be true,
disproves or prevents itself. Take the famous Grandfather

Your last two sentences are conclusions based on your assumption.

His actions exclude the possibility of his ever taking his
actions. BECAUSE he acted he didn't act.

This is opposed to Fermi who made an incorrect assumption.

My guess is you don't even know what is Fermi's Paradox.

To complete your example:  If I assume you are
broccoli, then your comments would make more sense.

Since your comments make no sense, I conclude you are broccoli.  QED.
