Ep. 40 Cancel Culture & Public Education: Cancel Culture

<p><strong>In the first episode of our new mini-series, Ryan evaluates cancel culture from a philosophical and ethical perspective—looking at various pros &amp; cons and presenting a way forward.<br></strong><br></p>"<em>If we want grace and forgiveness from others, then we should extend grace and forgiveness to others; if we don’t want to be judged and shamed by others, then we should be slow to judge and shame others. Do we criticize ourselves with the same vigor with which we criticize others? If we were public figures—with all our thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and speech made visible for the whole world to see, with everything we do and say held under a microscope—would we be cancelled? How fast would it take?" </em><p><br><strong>About Ryan, Host of </strong><strong><em>Thinker Sensitive</em></strong><strong>:<br></strong><br>Ryan Ragozine is the host of <em>Thinker Sensitive</em>.
