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
