        Has to be in response to what happened to his buddy Robin. Wonder if @tylercowen will make a similar statement.

        Getting harder to imagine a way forward where this movement doesn’t break everything.

        There seems to be this large cancellation membrane. It's swallowing people at an alarming rate and eventually will outsize the uncancelled. If the cancelled becomes the majority, would that be a solution in its own right?

        This seems..... limiting? Like it's hard for me to imagine that no idea I have expressed or advocated in my life will ever be something I realize was very wrong later in my life? It would seem extra hard for position to take the more experience and education one has.

        Why should you apologize for an innocent mistake? If you’d thought you were doing the right thing at the time, then you can acknowledge you were wrong, but you shouldn’t have to apologize.

        There are many things I have said politely that upon reflection or becoming better informed I regretted and apologized for.

        To have a genuine free speech platform, the backers/early-adopters would need to declare their commitment before it launched. Nobody wants to defend Parler or Gab since they primarily cater to deplorables (even if unintentionally).
