#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

And I actually think a lot of what I'm seeing in sort of โ€“ in the United States, it makes me worried that we might be going through a little bit of a process of repatrimonialization.

#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

And I think that's one of the reasons why people are so angry.

#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

I think having โ€“ I think the prospect that we very nearly seem to have an election that was going to be Jeb Bush versus Hillary Clinton.

#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

It's like are we a dynastic country now?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

Is that what's kind of happening?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

Yeah.

But also it's one of the reasons why people are getting so angry about legacy admissions, about how much certain families seem to be able to keep their people in the upper classes of the United States perpetually.

#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

And believe me, I was poor when I was a kid and I got to go to one of the fancies.

#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

I got to go to Stanford.

And I got to see how people โ€“

#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

they treat you differently in a way that's almost insulting.

#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

Like basically like suddenly to a certain kind of person, I was a legitimate person.

#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

And I look at how much America relies on Harvard, on Yale to produce its, I'm gonna use a very Marxist sounding term, ruling class.

#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

And that's one of the reasons why you have to be particularly worried about what goes on at these elite colleges.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

And these elite colleges, with the exception of University of Chicago and UVA, do really badly regarding freedom of speech.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

And that has all sorts of problems.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

It doesn't bode well for the future of the protection of freedom of speech for the rest of the society.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

I try really hard to empathize with, to a degree, everybody and try to really see where they're coming from.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#397 โ€“ Greg Lukianoff: Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship & Free Speech

And the anger on the right, I get it.
