Freedom of Speech in Comedy
The speaker believes that the notion of being restricted by cancel culture is not entirely true as he feels there are still things that can be said. He mentions the concept of preference falsification, where people may not express their true opinions openly. The speaker points out that there is no authoritative figure dictating what can or can't be said. Comparing the past to the present, he notes that the list of taboo topics has significantly reduced, highlighting the freedom to express in comedy. However, he raises a concern about self-censorship, where individuals may hold back from speaking their minds. Attending a comedy show is viewed as a cathartic experience as it showcases a lack of inhibitions.
