For me personally the word "Tolerance" means something akin to patience. Therefor I don't understand how we arrived at using this word to talk about Freedom. I have already written an article suggesting that it is perhaps a wrong word to use, and something like "Hate" or "Lack of Hate" would be a much better word to describe contemporary ...

Oh, #Britain, you dazzling #paradox 💸🇬🇧! With your 6th largest #economy and a #debt burden that rivals a student loan, it's no wonder you're feeling lighter in the wallet. But don't worry, just keep believing in those ghost motorways and maybe a secret symbol will lead you to a treasure chest 🗺️✨.

Here’s a crazy puzzle. Enjoy solving it and reply with your answer!

Imagine being in a large box with your box lying on the floor beside you. Your box contains a smaller copy of you and a smaller box inside and so on ad infinitum. You reach your hand into your box and pull out the smaller box. As you do this, you see a bigger hand coming from above and taking your box. Note that all the infinite copies of you have done the same. The boxes and the hands can pass through each other. So, there are no collisions.

Then, you put the box in your hand on the floor where your old box was. Where is your box now?

If you just want to read, I wrote my solution in a blog. What do you think?
