[ExI] tolerance

[Post Futurist]

There isn't any significance, it was purely academic. My collateral point is: intellectuals can't reduce, say, a family unit to symbols; the husband isn't h, the wife isn't w, the children are not x,y,z. My perhaps irrelevant (to this list) opinion is that hyper-intellectualism can reduce humans to mere abstractions, and perceive the cosmos as being almost VR. 
Which might smack of intolerance.

I don't understand what significance this has, neither the stats nor the question.  Could you explain?
