#003 - Apologising to the mob, misplaced outrage, the cost of denying reality Unfiltered with Africa Brooke
-
- Philosophy
In this episode (originally recorded LIVE on IG) I covered: why the assertion that ‘cancel culture doesn’t exist’ is hands down one of the most sinister things I’ve heard in recent years (collective gaslighting at best, and that’s not a word I use lightly)...
...the importance of moving out of binary thinking (either or, pro vs anti, with us or against us, good vs bad etc), overvaluing your digital self over your offline self, my thoughts on why it’s impossible to give an acceptable apology to an online mob...
...the entitlement and underlying narcissism that presents itself when we demand the world view us in the way we view ourselves (NOT talking about basic human rights here so don’t even...), why being against freedom of speech is fucking bizarre, the differences between mindful speech and self-censorship, cultivating the courage to speak up...and MORE!
Remember: as a self-aware adult (YOU) - I trust that you will filter this through your own self-awareness. Not everything is for you, and that is OK. Take what you need, and respectfully leave the rest. I also urge to listen to the entire conversation before jumping to conclusions or reacting prematurely.
