About this listen
In this episode of The Collective Perspective, Travis and Jeff dive into the Paradox of Tolerance—the idea that a society that is too tolerant may eventually enable intolerance to take over.
We unpack:
• What the paradox really means (and what it doesn’t).
• Where tolerance ends and self-preservation begins.
• Why it’s not about shutting people down, but about protecting healthy dialogue.
• Real-world examples of tolerance being tested today.
The conversation is honest, grounded, and sometimes funny but always focused on building stronger communities. If you’ve ever asked yourself: “Do we really have to accept everything in the name of tolerance?” this episode is for you.
