"Tolerance" is such a truly misguided and inane concept. Ethics applies universally, it's just that there's stuff that's trivially true, like "nationalism is evil," and stuff that's too messy & particular to evaluate with absolute certainty, like which Star Wars film is best.

Not all ethics are formal ethics. It's possible to build a coherent ethical system without resorting to modal logic. Also, Empire is the best Star Wars movie. AT-ATs, Yoda, Cloud City, crushing bleakness, Empire has it all. Plus Boba Fett, everyone's favorite well dressed snitch.

Coherence implies structure even in the absence of formalism, and structure implies logic. I actually don't know anything about modal logic, I'm stuck at first order symbolic logic plus randomly inserted stuff from Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, and Calculus.
