7. Should We Tolerate The Intolerant?

JANA
About this episode

What happens when tolerance goes too far?

In this episode, I explore the paradox of tolerance — the idea that a completely tolerant society might eventually give space to people who want to destroy that very tolerance. We’ll look at where the line between disagreement and intolerance might be, why free speech becomes complicated when people feel offended, and whether protecting an open society sometimes requires limits.

Because being tolerant doesn’t necessarily mean accepting everything. Sometimes, the hardest part is figuring out where tolerance ends.
