TOL | The Tolerance Tightrope: To Save Paradise, Must We Banish the Snakes?

Ever wonder if being too nice, too open, too tolerant can actually backfire? It sounds crazy, but that's the heart of Karl Popper's 'Paradox of Tolerance.' In this episode, we're wrestling with a huge question: To maintain a peaceful, tolerant society, must we be intolerant of intolerance? We'll explore the fine line between open-mindedness and self-destruction, touching on free speech, social justice, and what it truly means to build a world where everyone can coexist. This isn't just a dusty old philosophy; it's a question that echoes in our headlines and our daily lives. Get ready to have your assumptions challenged.
