IDK that it's a paradox at all. We may not have any meaningful control or choice over the beliefs we rationalize, but the strength of our justification for a given belief isn't determined by or predicate on our having that sort of control or choice. Only that whatever we've done with whatever belief we hold adheres to the standard of a system. In short, we don't have to choose it for it to be true.
I think that we all hold a properly basic belief that our ordinary senses* can provide the sort of information required to form conditional statements, at least.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
