Wiki - The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

      He needs to ‘work’ on his being autistic? Like he needs to tone down this autistic diagnosis you just performed in order for you to accept him?

      Jesus Christ just go watch the Harvard justice series on YouTube. “The social contact” already has a definition that is understood and agreed upon.

      understood and agreed upon by whom? This isn’t a scientific consensus thing here. There’s some problems with the theory, at least when it comes to using it in conversation as any sort of meaningful model.

      Are you autistic?

      What the hell does that have to do with anything?

      I mean that actually, this is like the most pedantic overanalyzing take possible.

      Well that’s just like, your opinion, man.

      If you are you need to work on it.

      Work on what? I’ll give you an example: You need to work on your communication. You are insinuating that you are correct, that I am incorrect, but you’re not using words to explain this, you’re just throwing out psychological diagnoses and telling me I need to work on what… not thinking?
