do evil games expect evil prizes, thank you Rainer Forst

edit: this is a pedagogical post, not a philosophical one. i actually fully agree with the paradox of tolerance and its conclusion! i just find that it doesn’t work as well as an educational tool for introducing people to the concept. sorry for any confusion :)

    yeah i think that’s valid. something like a progression in a discussion as understanding increases wouldn’t be amiss i feel.

    ⬇️less understanding

    • talk (or do) shit, get hit
    • tolerance is like a contract
    • unlimited tolerance is impossible; enforcing universal tolerance leads to a paradoxical increase of intolerance

    ⬇️more understanding

      Oooh, I love that, it lays everything out very neatly! I’ll totally steal this progression next time this subject pops up!
