You don’t have to cut a tree down to count the rings. A small, cylindrical core sample can be taken, similar to what we do for ice.

Or just taking a small core sample to do the same thing.

I’ve been using TizenTube since this issue came up and it’s gotten the job done. Not sure if it will be a good long term alternative.

Are you saying we should be tolerant of judgements placed upon large groups of people divided along arbitrary lines? Does the accuracy and universality of those judgements about each group hold up to the test of scrutiny and are they even based upon concrete evidence? If those judgements are accurate and universally true across those groups, should we be passing judgement upon each group for their differences? Is this a universal application of empathy?

Should we be tolerant of intolerance? I think not.
