About this listen

Can a tolerant society remain tolerant if it tolerates intolerance? In this thought-provoking episode of Deep Dive, we explore the Paradox of Tolerance—a philosophical dilemma introduced by Karl Popper that still haunts modern democracies.

We unpack the tension between free expression and social harm, the limits of open-mindedness, and how liberal values can be both a strength and a vulnerability in the face of extremism. This is where political theory, ethics, and current events collide.
