Dyson just LOVES listening to himself speak. He's a plonker.

The dangers of cancel culture, eventually it comes for you. It’s inevitable.

The biggest proponents of cancel culture on social media, are also the biggest proponents of “normalizing” and acceptance on social media.

Cancel culture is an American phenomenon. Truly ironic for a country that is all about their freedoms.

Dyson speaks like a college essay with a 10, 000 word count.

I really loved the way he talks about moving forward in our nation. He asked how we would integrate this into our everyday lives which was very interesting to here because I had never thought about it in that way. I’m so glad he touched on that because it really did change my perspective

[misterderp]

I was impressed with the depth of James' questions, considering he's usually more the type of guy. Well done, sir.

[teeceefitzgerald]

Down for the struggle of all my loved ones

[tvalivation]

I would be interested to know what Dr. Dyson's opinions are regarding Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne.

People in this comment section are very ignorant on the term “cancel culture” I guess it’s not a widespread as a term as I thought it was

[ama]

Cancel culture is so toxic. It’s like people now aren’t allowed to make any mistakes and are expected to be perfect. Newsflash, nobody’s perfect. Everybody makes mistakes, that’s why we learn and grow from our mistakes to become better people. Why is that suddenly not allowed anymore? What someone did in the past should not reflect on who they are as a person now. Someone becomes a different person than who they were X amount of years ago. And if they make a mistake now, instead of spreading more negativity by canceling people, why not educate them, help them see the error of their ways, and spread more positivity?

Cancel culture has nothing to do with race.

[Frozenmemory]

This can be used in daily life too, outside of racism
