There’s a lot of discussion here on the topic of cancel culture, deplatforming and the responsibilities of private entities. It may be useful to clarify in our responses if we mean the above or our ability to express ourselves free from per

I love that there are people far more educated than me who are also paid to explore these topics. A while ago I was pretty certain that gravity was emergent and was caused by Gluon Colour Confinement. Here was my incredibly naive rationale:
