Cancel Culture

The term “cancel culture” may be new, but the human impulses propelling it are old. When you see groups target an individual for exile, you’re witnessing a foundational ritual. Without understanding such atavistic impulses, we are more, not less, likely to enact them without consideration. - Robert Henderson is a doctoral student at the University of Cambridge.

“Cancel culture,” a means to promote a cause our persons to a level above the established norms of morality, lacking truth and gaining ground or social standing using gossip and half-truths.

The foundational idea is to do it to others before they do it to you. Aborting the foundation golden rule to love others as you would like to love yourself.

The morals of my generation are outdated, so they must cancel me. We can test the physical laws of this world such as gravity just drops something and you see it falls down. Just as you can test the moral laws, which are being violated today, and they will to will fall and fail.

The heart of him that hath understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.

(Proverbs 15:14)
