Coworker of mine who chats about games and nerd stuff told me I should pick up Hogwarts Legacy on sale, which gave me the ick. Had to inform him I’m a Teetotalus-er.

“A legitimate PhD-level expert in anything,” they said. “Show me a diagram of the US presidents since FDR, with their names and years in office under their photos,” I said.
A GPT-5 generated diagram of US presidents since Franklin D. “Roesevelt” to “Goorge W Bush”, “Baruck Obama” and Donald Trump. No George HW Bush (though Ronald Reagan looks a fair bit like him), LBJ, or Joe Biden.

This is not directed at the OP. Their reaction to St. John is spot on. I think we are all victim to a misogynistic misclassification from a long time ago. #booksky

The Paradox of Tolerance
disappears
if you look at tolerance,
not as a moral standard,
but as a social contract.
If someone does not abide by the terms
of the contract, then they are not covered by it.
In other words: The intolerant are not following the
rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.
Since they have broken the terms of the contract,
they are no longer covered by the contract,
and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.
inspired by 'Tolerance is not a moral precept" by Yonatan Zunger

Sorry as someone who teaches rhetoric this is a wonderful response
to the Paradox of Tolerance. I cannot tell you how many times my
students have had debates about this. This is the response. This does
indeed fix it. I cannot wait to tell this to my classes now.
Philosophically and rhetorically this completely resolved the Paradox
of Tolerance and I am floored by its simplicity and angry I never saw it
before.
