I swear, this shit makes it look more complicated than it actually is. In general, I just don't do to others what I wouldn't want to be done to me. There. That's all there is to it. Just don't be a dick to me and I won't be a dick to you. Easy.
I like how "don't be a dick" is downvoted. In a functional society you're taught what "don't being a dick" means to such a nuanced degree that defining it should be difficult.
Anyways this meme's got serious "and then everybody clapped" vibes.
Yeah, I agree with you. I mostly just got pissed on how it started talking about a "social contract". Like, there's no need to make something simple complicated.
Who writes the social contract? The in-group.
How does the social contract evolve over time if every single person that doesn't abide to it in its current form is ostracized? It doesn't.
It's not a literal contract. Tying theories about tolerance to it is more or less just saying "fuck it whatever".
The paradox of tolerance is of course a real thing but this isn't the solution. All it does is erode the principles necessary to even hold to the idea of tolerance in the first place.
