Subject: [FRIAM] tolerance of intolerance

[Scott's] Prayer
https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=8117

I'm currently surrounded by people who believe intolerance is properly not 
tolerated. Scott's message, here, seems extraordinary Christian, to me. (Real 
Christian, not the Christianism displayed in things like megachurches and 
whatnot cf https://raymondsmullyan.com/books/who-knows/). This faith that 
"going high" will, in the long run, win out, seems naive to me. The temptation 
to "hoist the black flag and start slitting throats" isn't merely a thresholded 
reaction, it's an intuitive grasp of the iterated prisoner's dilemma, 
tit-for-tat style strategies, and Ashby's LoRV. But I'm open to changing my 
mind on that. Maybe I'm just too low-brow?
