Bret Weinstein, a professor at Evergreen State College, describes how he was "canceled" during a debate over the Evergreen State College Day of Absence. He discusses the characteristics of cancel culture: collective ganging up on someone with different views, and failing to reason. He mentions that a group willing to find a solution would engage in dialogue rather than seek to "cancel" the other party.
