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 :)

    yup! it’s quite simple and i wish the internet wasn’t so primed to cite the paradox posing a problem rather than saying the solution

    i see people get confused by the paradox all the time, because they are used to the concept of the logical kind of paradox which has no solution.

    but the concept of the social contract is intuitive. easy peasy.
