Episode

[@RoyAlexander214]

I have really been into this channel and have to say that I love it. Today started off really crappy. And that’s an understatement. I went to open my trunk to grab my safety vest and knee pads out of my tool bag. And well I open the trunk and see ya later Roy.. my tool bag is gone. It’s one of those rolling husky tool bags and all of my power tools. That’s my livelihood as far as how I generate income so man was I bummed. And then at the end of this episode you really lifted my spirits. You said something about a series of terrible mental states and if you can see that that’s all it is when you think life is kicking your ass you can get past it. That’s not exactly what you said but that’s how I took it and it helped a lot. Thanks again for the awesome videos

I'm an immunologist and I love your educational channel..I just want to add a little something to what your great monologue.interestingly, even on the cellular level we learned how to tolerate bacteria and other pathogens...we tolerate them so well we live in symbiosis with them...our immune system tolerates our gut microbiota yet fights and kills any possible threat. I think we as humanbeings behave slightly similar in a philosophical way of course... We tolerate small things because we have to..because of police officers just like our lymphocytes in the gut.yet we tend to kill and harm if we can or had to...

It was hard for me to think of the bus situation as anything other than a black and white situation. The driver was in a position of authority and controlled the child's ability to flee from the very start.

Tolerance towards the mere holding of a belief and tolerance to the enaction of those beliefs are slightly but importantly different things. If you believe in rule of law, then you can personally disagree with actions but still allow them to happen unimpeded. Voting/protesting/contacting representatives is how you make opinion heard, not by proselytizing each and every person who disagrees with you.

This guy is a beacon of wisdom for me ❤😍

[@Over-Boy42]

I would say there is a fine line between social Intolerance and legal intolerance

[@Some1special]

I draw the line at the very beginning. What kind of rude ass bus driver jumps into someone else's conversation? Also if your goal is to change minds why resort to threats or violence? If anything that will only reinforce that person's ideas because you are abusing authority to win an argument. As I think most of us know, that only really creates resentment.

[@auliaaliyev4759]

How intolerant I am towards those under my care are affected by many factors. One of the more interesting one is how firmly I believe that what they are doing or saying has detrimental effects. For example I can tolerate my brother's staying up late to work because I can't say for sure sacrificing sleep for work really is bad. But if he stays up late to play video games then I'd be less tolerant becuase I am more convinced that it is bad.

A cautionary tale that the 2020 technocrats would have been wise to heed before their virtual "book burning" began that year.

[@JunoNH]

Beliefs are not destructive.

[@sr.cosmos4543]

The bus driver was never reasonable....

[@roxyb03]

Argument made @ 10:13 - 10:23 didn't age well . Would be interesting to have an update for 2024 perspective regarding tolerance.

[@rodrigodiazcasas384]

Before hearing the end of the podcast, i wanna give my opinion spoilers free haha. I believe that tolerance is acceptable as long as other people's opinions (actions) do not affect third parties life. Simple as that. This leaves some gray areas such as abortion, eutanasia, etc. but it certainly rules out religious "superior" morality dictating how people should live, or murderers, or pederasty, for instance. Other people's integrity is the limit.

[@slicesofadvice404]

Wow, note on 10:13 - Fast-forward to today and we only see intolerant people chanting on the streets (Proud Boys, Police Blue State, Anti-mask protests,...). The modern America we have in mind is slowly deteriorating under autocratic media moguls and an angry orange injecting fear. Intolerance is not that rare anymore, intolerance is heightening, and I fear for the future if we vote for the angry orange.

[@goslingbro]

I would argue it's the same for the left side of politics look at what happed in Oregon intolerant people chanting in the streets about the death of an African American. As well as pride parades, groups of people marching in the street chanting about LGBT rights, intolerance has always been around in some capacity but you're only choosing to look at one halve of the political spectrum.

[@randyrustybuts9566]

was the bus driver black?

[@alex1701waller]

The word TOLERANCE makes me cringe.

[@henrykkaufman1488]

That's just a sign how stretched out and tainted it became. Compelled respect is not tolerance.

[@daviddawson1718]

Remember that it is used philosophically, not politically
