#53 - Let's Be Controversial!

Cancel culture is running wild in the 21st century, especially in the USA! We can think about this as a modern form of ostracism, in which your tribe kicks you out for being a weirdo. However, cancel culture isn't good, and it is actually a manifestation of the polarizing of America - left vs. right, maskers vs. anti-maskers.It seems rather odd to cancel people just because they offer a differing opinion or perspective than you. I mean, don't you want to understand the counter arguments to your argument?What's even more odd is how we disregard people because we deem them "controversial". Isn't controversial topics the very ones that we need to discuss? Aren't people who are willing to publicly discuss these issues brave, given that half of the population will hate them?Listen in as I talk (probably controversially) controversy!
