[Time 11:00] Free speech vs. crackdown on Columbia pro-Hamas students and the professor whose new upcoming job was canceled. Your guest reports having observed silence from Weinstein brothers and others. I want to respond that Weinstein silence doesn’t necessarily mean approval. I discovered the cancellations via this podcast. Probably because of my behavioral science background that I disapprove of cancelling on left and right. Since you have been on the receiving end of YouTube censorship, I want to add that my friend had his YouTube account frozen because he commented angrily against a pro-Palestinian comment a few days ago. Part of me thinks that universities’ crackdown on anti-Israel hate is motivated by self-interest and anticipated scrutiny of DEI programs.
