Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles. ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky Dostoevsky foresees a society where sensitivity silences truth. When tolerance becomes distorted, it stifles freedom of thought. His warning is about balance: respect for others must not come at the cost of reason. A culture afraid of offense risks intellectual decay. Do you agree with his assessment? (Image courtesy of Britannica)
