- Cancel culture-the term and the practice-has left its mark on American culture, business, academia and society at all levels over the past few years. Was it inevitable? Is it permanent? Or is it, as authors Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott argue, a dysfunctional part of how Americans battle for power, status and dominance? They say it is just a symptom of a much larger problem: the use of cheap rhetorical tactics to "win" arguments without actually winning arguments.
Drawing on data and research on the phenomenon of cancel culture and how it works, along with many examples of how both the left and the right use it to silence their enemies, Lukianoff and Schlott have concrete steps to offer that they say can reclaim a free speech culture in every realm.
Lukianoff and Schlott, authors of the bestselling Coddling of the American Mind, return with their new book The Canceling of the American Mind. Join us to hear their description of cancel culture and their prescription for curing it.
This program is supported by the Ken & Jaclyn Broad Family Fund
and presented in collaboration with the USC Dornsife Center for the Political Future
and the Stanford Graduate School of Business Classical Liberalism Initiative.
In partnership with FIRE-Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.

Great conversation! First respect disappeared from the home, than schools and entertainment, than businesses, than law enforcement, then court rooms. Tonight, on stage, a presidential candidate called another "scum"
I am a long time supporter of these ideals - I'm amazed how articulate Greg has been on this topic. Amen to his mission 🕊️💞✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨💖
One of the most important videos for Americans to watch. Hope this can find a much larger audience!
YES - I'm sharing it 😊 5:25
White supremacy is not anything you want to make it. This man is not stupid, he knows better. Please read the book: "The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy" by Robert P. Jones and "Roots of American Racism" by Vaughan
Utter nonsense
Brilliant!
I really want to listen, so far I’m struck by how often the younger, thoughtful female writer/speaker is interrupted by the male writer/speaker.
This is all you have noticed?
Look at the closed caption text. It's totally different from the spoken words on stage.
Very brave and accurate
Missing comments from Noam Chomsky lately
Not me!! I finally figured out he is a tool of Russian propaganda
Please explain
This terrible experience that happened with the professor is beyond logic and common sense. One problem, the professor doesn't have a name or a college that he was situated at. In today's word of made up facts, we need a clear picture. Thanks.
It us a very easy fact to check
Hopefully the book talks about the 18th, 19th & 20th century build up to today's climate. Otherwise I get the feeling that this is just a book about how it's no fun when the mouse has the cat by the tail.
And we know some of this fragility is due in part to the cat not getting it's way, rather than an appeal for justice and equality.
Consider the source, ask yourself, what is elite?
Folk who lack the ability to laugh are to be avoided.
ABSOLUTELY WORST COMMON WEALTH IVE EVER WATCHED..
Elaborate. Cuz they've had some doozies on here.
