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

And the one on viewpoint diversity, I think like half of the people who reviewed it would eliminate it right out.

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

And I think it was basically the same for religious diversity.

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

It was slightly better, like 40%, for socioeconomic diversity.

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

But that kills me.

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

Like the idea that kind of like, yeah, that actually is the kind of diversity that I think we need a great deal more of in higher education.

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

You can agree with โ€“ it's not hostile to the other kinds, by the way.

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

But the idea that we need more people from the bottom โ€“

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

three quarters of American society, like in higher education, I think should be something we could all get around.

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

But the only one that really succeeded was the one that's that sprouted back exactly the kind of, you know, ideology that they thought the viewers would like, which is like, okay.

There's no way this couldn't be a political litmus test.

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

We've proved that it's a political litmus test and still school after school is adding these to its application process to make schools still more ideologically homogenous.

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

Well, one, it selects for people who tend to be farther to the left in a situation where you already have people โ€“ a situation where universities do lean decidedly that way.

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

But it also establishes essentially a set of sacred ideas that if you're being quizzed on whether โ€“ what you've done to advance โ€“

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

anti-racism, how you've been conscious of intersectionality, it's unlikely that you'd actually get in if you said, by the way, I actually think these are dubious concepts.

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

I think they're thin.

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

I think they're philosophically not very defensible.

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

Basically, if your position was, I actually reject...

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

these concepts as being oversimple.

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

You're not going to get in.

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

And I think that the person that I always think of that wasn't a right-winger that would be like, go to hell if you made him fill one of these things out, it's Feynman.
