Cancelling cancelling cancelling
What if rallying to get cancel-culture cancelled doesn’t solve the problem?
Brantly Millegan, operations of the ENS DAO is at the forefront of technical collaborative, inclusive innovation.
And he got dismissed from his role for his religious beliefs.
I’m not religious. I don’t agree with his beliefs at all. But that doesn’t matter:
The ideal of a DAO — to be a decentralised, autonomous organisation — is to enable diverse opinions to find consensus through a democratic voting model.
It’s a model that promotes the flattening of organisational hierarchies and the enabling of diverse voices converging around new ideas.
I wish that de-escalation was a more popular, widely understood concept — and the potential for healing that it brings with it.
One can’t help but think that cancelling someone who cancelled something because they cancelled someone isn’t really addressing the problem.
