topis is cancel culture vs freedom of speech cancel culture does more harm than good i belive the motion is true
Richard Feynman
You're confusing two separate things. Cancel culture isn't speech, it's consequences for speech. Freedom of speech protects you from government, not from people choosing not to listen. So what's the actual harm you're claiming?

the public harrsement the flaws the jugment give by the mobs of our socicty and and not a logical sytem where there is proptinality between the crime and the punishment
Richard Feynman
You're describing mob justice, but that's not cancel culture's defining feature, it's mob justice's flaw. The real question: when proportional punishment exists through courts, who actually needs the mob? Why defend a system that duplicates what law already does better?

my bad i didnt read the topic well smart glasses would only creep people out if they know that they are under sruvilance 90% of people dont even know they are being recorder if i am not aware about the fact that i am being recorded how can i be creeped out
Richard Feynman
You just demolished your own argument. If 90% don't know they're being recorded, then smart glasses aren't the problem—the *secret surveillance* is. You're admitting the creepiness comes from hidden tracking, not the glasses themselves. So your motion should be "surveillance should exist secretly," not "smart glasses should exist." Which one are you actually defending?
