Incorrect usage. Here’s a video that explains why, that you probably won’t watch.
This looks like one of those weird kids' Youtube videos that has been in the uncanny valley for so long that it's gotten settled in and set up a thriving sustainable business for itself there
But it uses the paradox correctly.
I did actually watch the paradox video just out of curiosity. Between the weird and offputting presentation and the first video which says literally nothing except "now that you've watched this video, click here, and watch the real video!" I decided it was safe to conclude it was bullshit.
I mean, I do know what the paradox of tolerance is. "You have to give me a full open hearing each and every time I come into your little space to broadcast propaganda, just in case this new thing is innocent and insightful and just happens to look like the rest of the propaganda purely by coincidence" is a pretty textbook example. If you feel differently, you're welcome to say why, but I don't feel I'm obligated to run around watching extra videos to help you in the effort.
Thanks for the discussion. It really helps push this post further up the algorithm.
