why or how the lecture got canceled but i m going to continue to make that point. pete: but you were invited, right, to come speak, then there was this backlash. wouldn t you attribute it, to you know, left wing mob cancel culture saying no, no, no. diversity, equity and inclusion is the only route we re willing to talk about. yeah. i think that s correct. pete: there we go. here is what mit says about it after n. their statement after the cancellation. the carlson lecture has a very specific format and outreach component. we felt with the current distractions we would not be in a position to hold an effective outreach event. i made this decision at my discretion after culling with faculty and students in the department and know some might mistake it as affront on academic freedom a characterization i do not agree with he says i m not going to cancel it but some could say it is a rejection of academic freedom but that s not what it is. was your lecture going to be on this topic or wa
