Let us step out of the mass psychosis of cancel culture and remember compassion, tolerance for differing viewpoints, and recognition of the deeply complex nature of human behavior.
TOPICS:
Losing compassion in the name of compassion
Cancel culture does nothing to create justice or healing
It’s an ouroboros- the more a person participates in cancel culture, the more likely they are to be cancelled
The goalposts of what is and is not okay are always moving
I am not here to intellectually coddle my audience
Collapsing both/and issues into either/or issues
Shame is not a social justice tool
Treating people like human beings, not political abstractions or online content
Moral perfection is impossible
People are not disposable
Less punishment and more rehabilitation
Dehumanization only leads to more injustice
What cancellation would have meant for our ancestors and how that ancient imprint affects us today
The trauma of cancellation shuts down the brain areas needed for healing and growth
Quitting the cult of wokeness
Choosing truth over popularity
The parallels with the witch hunts
This is not how we restructure humanity toward a more just, kind, equitable future
Cancel culture leads to self censorship
Your ancestors will not cancel you, the earth will not cancel you, the sun will not cancel you
