Pavidus

I’ve stayed at that hotel before. I’m sad to say my room didn’t have that kind of cool ass art. I did eat at the GWARbar though, so I still got some good GWAR memories in on my trip.

Lemme try and feel sorry for my cartoonishly rich tech overlords real quick…

It’s had me thinking a lot about the tolerance paradox. Where exactly is the line? How should it be handled? Will we get better without violence? Is violence necessary to fight back against dangerous ideas? Who should be the ones holding the line against dangerous ideas? What could we have done differently to ensure we didn’t get here? Will we make any changes or learn anything from this? What duty do we have to protect the marginalized communities that this kind of speech affects?

I’ve certainly drawn some conclusions of my own pondering this, but I still have plenty of unanswered questions.
