Basically I am speculating that the government is generating the Cancel Crisis through extremely boring administrative law that most Americans know nothing about. I am skeptical of any improvement because it is from the Civil Rights Act and no way is anyone touching that

Upon reading the summary of this text I was 1. glad to be validated (kind of) 2. glad someone had gone through the bother of writing a book 3. glad to not buy it because it would only depress mehttps://twitter.com/herandrews/status/1276692215293763584?s=19 …

Alex Godofsky @AlexGodofskyReplying to @eigenrobotThere are problems with this story. First, firms very frequently do not fire people in response to internal complaints, and very commonly protect the subject of the complaints amd even retaliate against the complainer. Cancel culture appears to be much more effective.2 replies 0 retweets 23 likesShow this thread -

You’re pulling at a thread here. Cancel culture is MOSTLY exogenous, but maybe administrative policies created the departments within institutions that fostered cancellers? Cancellations now come from within when those companies employ the young wokes: tech, media, marketing…

Who staffs Health & Safety & HR. Complexity is the key; multiple interacting forces. Even ideology IMO attitudinal, cultural, sociological, genetic, & creates rationality around it which reinforces. “My beliefs are sound & empirical. Luckily reality conforms to my disposition”.

Conditions led to theories of the world, which led to ideological movements of elites, who influenced and implemented policies. Adam Smith observing success around him, theorized as to why and extrapolated what that meant. So did Marx. In that sense it’s like science.

Oh fuck, I’m working this shit out & I see you read them now lol. I‘m not an intelligent person — sorry for rambling. Planned on trimming/deleting before you read. TL;DR laws created structures within pliable domains who are infiltrating other institutions & bolstering laws.
