I don’t really want to talk about “cancel culture.” My hope is that any culture or subculture in its noose will realize it’s a bad plan before they hang themselves with it. I do feel like now is a good time to take advantage of the fact that the word “cancel” is already in so many people’s mouths. I’m not really sure where to begin since there are a number of reasons to modify how we’ve been using the “cancel” concept. The first reason that comes to mind is that when you cancel something, you’re limiting your own experience. The opposite of cancelling something is embracing it, so let me be abundantly clear right from the start, I’m not suggesting that in lieu of cancelling a thing, one should embrace it, after all, you more than likely had a well thought out, rational reason as well as well researched, unbiased evidence before you went about cancelling it in the first place, right?
