Summary
Today I talk about something that won't seem to go away C A N C E L C U L T U R E. I address Chappelle's new comedy special "The Closer", why it's causing controversy, and how cancel culture works. Then I delve into an article written by psychologist Kimberly Wilson who says cancel culture is TOXIC to our mental health. I finish this episode by quoting a second article on cancel culture, one that warns by stifling open debate in the population, we are harming more than just one conversation, we are harming them all.
