		<description>In Act I of Shakespeare's Macbeth Banquo says:

If you can look into the seeds of time
And say which grain will grow and which will not,
Speak then to me...

Innocence is not necessarily an attribute of anti-illectualism, as we were tought to beleive. We don't even have to look further into Socrats, Descartes or even Voltair's utopias and their offsprings to prove the case. 
Let's try a different approach.
If we can reasonably apply quantum paradoxes to the subject, it is like Schroedinger's cat problem in a way, with the cat dead and alive the same time. 
So, why do we always tend to make judgements? Is life always a choice between determinism and uncertainty? 

Those questions are rooted rather in methodology based on our educational mindframe and background then on common sense. Tolerance should come first, not education.

So I would say, Socrates AND pig instead of Socrates OR pig, which means: let Socrates leave the pig alone.
A pig doesn't care much about Socrates, so why Socrates should?
