A conversation with Prosperos Dean Al Haferkamp and William Fennie

Recorded March 24, 2021

This brief conversation continues our project to use words to excavate new understanding from the unprecedented challenge that is COVID-19.

Tolerance has applications in the social and family sphere, psychology, and engineering, to name only a few areas. Generally speaking, it applies to the number of disparate elements or conditions a given system can incorporate and manage before suffering from disequilibrium. Al and William chew over the implications of tolerance in a number of areas and the impact of “multiplication by infinity.”
