#684 - Vincent Harinam - Cancelled For Appearing On This Podcast
Modern Wisdom
Cancel culture driven by political animus or personal jealousy in academia
Half of the soft cancelations in academia are driven by political animus, while the other half stem from personal jealousy. Jordan Peterson serves as a prime example, with some wanting to cancel him due to his views on Bill C-16 and others being envious of his courage and attention. Academics are naturally jealous and petty, with university politics being vicious precisely because there is so little at stake. This phenomenon aligns with Seyer's Law, which states that the intensity of a dispute is inversely proportional to its value. Personal vendettas cleverly disguise themselves as social justice or righteous call-outs.
