I always think the it interesting how the paradox of tolerance gets interpreted as a an instruction and endorsement of intolerance, opposed to an actual paradox.
It also takes as an assumption that intolerant ideas outcompete tolerant ones, opposed to reach some equilibrium solution or the opposite.
- ceejayoz 2y agoThe simple interpretation is “be tolerant, but not to a fault”. Same idea as the Constitution not being a suicide pact, or being allowed to break kosher rules to save a life.
