First thing that came to my mind was..

"Guys, guys, Galileo wasn't actually cancelled. He just found out that free speech has consequences." @KonstantinKisin

Eric Weinstein talks about the DISC - Distributed Idea Suppression Complex.

I had a friend get tenure at a university, and her stories added fuel to the fire in my mind that the DISC is very real, and everywhere.

One man’s DISC is another’s memetic immune system.

Communicating new ideas is hard, and the burden is carried exclusively by the originator of the idea.

That is just wrong on several levels including the conflation of the monopoly on violence's censorship with community reaction. It wouldn't even be cancelation by the standards of "Nobody wants to have anything to do with the dude who shouted racial slurs at a holocaust survivor is being cancelled." definition.
