Cancel culture

[2bme]

I have come to realise a dilemma in our day to day social discourse. Consider that when we engage in social discourse we need to give attention and get attention for proper receptivity, and a better understanding of each other's point of view. But when somebody want's people to only pay them attention, then all other people's view's in that conversation will cancelled out.

So the dilemma is this:
If every person in a group stopped giving proper attention to others, then every person in that group who only wants to get attention won't actually get any at all.

Weird.
