‘Destructive’ social media cancel culture making people ‘afraid to speak up,’ harming ‘our institutions’ says Jonathan Haidt

Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist at the NYU’s Stern School of Business and author of an extraordinary article, “Why the Past 10 years of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid”. The psychologist discusses the political strife of cancel culture and how it has become exasperated by social media, commenting that, “what makes it so destructive is the fear. That's what's changed our institutions that people are afraid to speak.” Haidt comments, that we can’t have “democracy without good institutions”, and the events of the last eight years has been an uptick in cancel culture, is “making our institutions and our group dumb because when people are afraid to speak up and challenge the orthodoxy, then decision making goes off kilter.” He also says that most people on social media, “are reasonable people who love our country, and it's the extremists on the right and the left, plus trolls” and “Russian agents,” there are the only “four groups that have really benefited from Twitter and other social media platforms and the rest of us the other 80% of the country, we're just fed up.” He also offers up what he says is his solution for this, which is for Congress to reform current social media laws, but says that the single most important reform for change is to “require identity authentication in order to open an account.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ex-CIA Russia Analyst: Biden trying to strangle Russian economy to ‘overthrow Putin’ is enormously unrealistic

George Beebe, former CIA Russia Analyst, discusses the possibility of nuclear warfare and how President Biden can deescalate the on-going tensions between the United States and Russia. Beebe reacts that the boiling point we are seeing right now between the countries hands been “decades in the making” and due to the cost-free view of NATO enlargements of former Soviet satellite states like the Baltic States and Ukraine. He also remarks, that the United States is entering into a period much different than the Cold War, which had limitations and rules, an understanding between nations that there is mutual assured destruction if nuclear weapons are used. The former Adviser comments that, now the United States is, “entering into something that [he thinks] is much more dangerous, and that is a competition, more or less for survival with Russia, without any rules of the game.” Saying, the events over the last 60 days since the invasion, are examples of Russians “warnings, quite loudly, that they are willing to use everything they've got to defend their own country's existence.” Beebe remarks that Biden’s goal of strangling “the Russian economy so that it can't generate a threat toward us, and then perhaps the Russians wake up and they overthrow Putin in some way”, “has an enormous unreality to it”.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rick Scott (R-FL), discusses the historic wave of Hispanic voters migrating to the Republican Party after recent polls put Biden’s approval rating with Hispanics at 26%, commenting that Hispanics are “on our side, they’re Republicans, go talk to them”. The Florida Senator also gives his thoughts on the recent announcement of the Department of Homeland Security’s, “Disinformation Governance Board”, commenting that it is not the government’s job to dictate to us what the truth is, “I thought we beat the Soviet Union?”, and “you look at this stuff and you say we became the Soviet Union.” Calling the social-media censorship, “modern day book burning”. Scott explains that in the “2020 election cycle, they sent 68% of GOP fundraising emails to spam and only 8% of Democrats,” stating “that's book burning, and that's exactly what they're doing.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dershowitz: First Amendment allows bad things to occur on Twitter, ‘answer to bad speech is good speech, not censorship’

Alan Dershowitz, Constitutional Law expert and First Amendment advocate addresses Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and the questions that have arisen as to how far the First Amendment goes for Free Speech. Dershowitz comments that, Nazis and Communists have the “right to be on twitter and we have the right to expose them”, “that's what free speech is about”. The Harvard Law Professor Emeritus goes on to explain that, “when the Framers of the First Amendment got together and conducted this extraordinary experiment never before in history, as the government had been precluded from censoring”. The Framers “knew that there would be hate speech, dangerous speech, the First Amendment is not free of social costs, it will allow much more bad things to occur on Twitter and generally, and that's what we have to tolerate.” Commenting, Americans “have to develop a thick skin and have to say the answer to bad speech is good speech, not censorship.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
