The Canceling of the American Mind — with Greg Lukianoff

Greg Lukianoff, a free speech advocate, first-amendment attorney, and president of FIRE, joins Scott to break down the rise of cancel culture and its chilling effect on free speech.  They discuss why social media supercharged censorship, how college campuses became ground zero for speech suppression, and why younger generations may be more fragile and less free. Greg also opens up about his own struggles with anxiety and how cognitive behavioral therapy helped rewire his thinking. Follow Greg, @glukianoff.
