> And could you spare us the boilerplate reactionary moaning about outrage culture? Not GP, but cancel culture is, sadly, a real phenomenon.

  "Cancel culture" is a code word for "apparently actions now have consequences and I don't like it". He was a friend of Epstein, dude. He helped Epstein after he was convicted of being a pedophile pimp (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/jeffrey-epstein-science-donations-apologies-statements https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/jeffrey-ep...). And here he is, writing articles for the Wall Street Journal after being supposedly "cancelled". He knowingly helped a pedophile rapist. He has not faced anywhere near the amount of consequences he deserves.

    "Cancel culture" is a set of cultural behaviors whereby poorly or incompletely substantiated allegations result in the tarnishing of reputations via virtue signaling amplification.

      Yeah, that has never actually happened.
