In this episode, I discuss why we started EXIT, who we’ve brought together, and a few of the things we’ve accomplished. A few thoughts: It’s not about “cancel culture”. As many progressives have pointed out, people don’t have to like the things you say. “Reading the room” and dealing with social disapproval is part of life — and in a sane society, this can be a healthy thing. The problem is not that these mechanisms of social control exist, but that the worst people on the planet are deciding who is allowed to speak and what they are allowed to say.
