- umvi 5y agoCaltech cancelled Robert Millikan (the founder), so it wouldn't be unprecedented for Apple to cancel its founder(s) as well.
- hoka 5y agoI'll be happy if it happens, but I'm not holding my breath. Abuse is literally in their corporate DNA. I guess if his vitriol was universal, maybe that makes it more palatable than hate targeted at one group? What a world. And for the record, I'm not a fan of purity tests or waiting for Superman. Just because they haven't scrubbed Jobs doesn't mean they are unfit to have made this move.

- dragonwriter 5y ago> How do you cancel someone who is already dead? There’s thousands of years of “cancel culture” history of doing that: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae
- TameAntelope 5y agoI guess my point was more in the, "Are we actually calling everything 'cancel culture' now?" vein, but I'm still going to read the wiki article cuz history is cool.
- jxramos 5y agowow you serious. What was Millikan's unforgivable sin?
- williamsmj 5y agoWell, he promoted and personally supported the forced sterilization of people. And he was, even by the standards of the time, a HUGE racist. Just some little stuff, no big deal. You can't say anything these days!
- dragonwriter 5y agoMillikan wasn’t the founder of Caltech.
