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 :)

That is, in fact, exactly what Poppler's paradox of tolerance says.

i agree with what it says. i just don’t think it’s good as an educational tool for introducing people to the concept.

I'm not sure what concept you're trying to introduce to people, but if they don't understand the paradox of tolerance then you aren't explaining it very well because it's extremely easy to understand.
