Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
I think that's the friendliest threat I've ever heard.

Well, let's talk about some of your lessons around using this power for good. First of all, tell me why shaming doesn't work.

Hey everyone, it's Adam Grant. Welcome back to Rethinking, my podcast on the science of what makes us tick with the TED Audio Collective. I'm an organizational psychologist and I'm taking you inside the minds of fascinating people to explore new thoughts and new ways of thinking. Mein Gast heute ist Loretta Ross, öffentlich-intellektuelle Aktivistin und Professorin an der Smith College.

Obviously, my heart broke reading those stories, but I applaud the courage that it takes to share them publicly.

Ja. Ich denke, das ist eine der vielen Dinge, die viele Menschen über Cancel-Kultur interessieren. Es hat einen kühlen Effekt auf die Willen der Menschen, ihre Geschichten zu teilen und ihre Verletzungen da draußen zu stellen. Erzähl mir, warum du so einen Kritiker der Cancel-Kultur bist.

Sie ist die Autorin von »Calling In«, was sowohl ein mächtiges Memoir als auch ein Masterclass in konstruktiver Konfrontation ist. Loretta ist mein Lieblings-Krusader gegen die Kanzelkultur. Sie hat ein Geschenk, um Menschen bessere Wege zu finden, um Angst und Enttäuschung zu verhindern.

There's just a huge body of evidence in psychology showing that when you shame people, it tends to make them defensive. Und Defensivität ist das Gegenteil von dem, was man will, wenn man versucht, Leute zu verändern. Es öffnet ihre Gedanken nicht, es schließt sie ab.

I was hoping you would raise that distinction.

I've asked a lot of people over the last few years, why do you think it's effective to blame and shame people and to try to embarrass them publicly if you're hoping to try to facilitate their growth? I think in a lot of cases, it's ego.

They're too focused on, well, how do I feel powerful and how do I make sure that I get my point of view heard as opposed to how do I best communicate a perspective that's Das wird die andere Person erreichen.

I got so much out of your perspective on language policing in the book. I thought you had such an insightful and timely commentary on what's wrong with language policing. Talk to me about that a little bit.

Well, Loretta, I'm so happy to see you and could not be more thrilled to have you on Rethinking.

I love the way you refer to yourself as a reformed call-out queen. Tell me about that.

Can I ask you a few rapid-fire questions? Oh yeah, like I told you, I'm good at the dozens. What is the worst advice you've ever gotten?
TED Talks Daily
Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
What about best advice?

Na, das ist sehr nett von dir. Ich habe nicht gesagt, dass ich nett bin.

Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
Ich denke, ich habe mich oft in Schwung gemacht, als ich jünger war. Ich habe immer versucht, zu argumentieren, dass ich richtig war und andere Menschen falsch waren.

Und ich fühlte, als ob ich einige Kämpfe gewonnen habe und viele Kriege verloren habe. And it wasn't fun to go around feeling like I was wielding whatever knowledge I had as a weapon. What I love about learning is sharing what I know, not using it to berate people or belittle people.
TED Talks Daily
Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
My greatest teachers were the ones who, they had a wealth of knowledge, but they were much more interested in what they didn't know. I wanted to be like that. I wanted to share what I knew in the spirit of trying to figure out what I didn't know and what we could all teach each other.

One of the things I realized as I was writing Think Again was that the true mark of a lifelong learner is knowing that you can learn something from every single person you meet. Yeah, that's true. And if you remember that, you can't be a know-it-all.

You've been meeting the wrong geniuses, clearly. We need to introduce you to the kinder ones.

Aber ich kann sie nicht meinen Freunden vorstellen. Gut für dich, dass du die Werte von Leuten siehst, die voll von Weisen sind.

Well, you are living proof that you don't have to be an extrovert to be charismatic and persuasive. And Loretta, this has just been a joy to soak up your wisdom. And I think we need more of it in the world.

I will look forward to that.

Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
Well, thank you. I'm a huge fan of yours. Loretta reminds us that you can be forthcoming in what you say, while still being respectful and even kind in how you say it. Being direct with the content of your message doesn't prevent you from being thoughtful about the best way to deliver it. I think we need you to run for office, Loretta.

Es klingt so, als hättest du eine lange Geschichte davon, dass du nicht deine Zunge zerstört hast.

Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
Also, geh schon. Wann hast du entschieden, dass das nicht der effektivste Weg ist, Leute zu erreichen?

Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
Was there a particular moment when it blew up in your face that really led you to say, I've got to approach these situations differently?
TED Talks Daily
Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
Ich habe die Erfahrung gehabt, dass andere meine Worte mehr oft als ich sagen würde. Und meistens kommt es so, dass jemand mir einen Screenshot schickt und sagt, hey, diese Person postet deine Inhalte unter ihrem Namen, ohne richtigen Kredit. Und es wäre so einfach, zu loggen und Seite-zu-Seite-Screenshots mit Timestamps zu posten, die zeigen, dass sie meine Worte stehlen.
TED Talks Daily
Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
Ich will niemanden öffentlich schämen. Was ich in einigen Fällen getan habe, ist, dass ich einfach rausgekommen bin und gesagt habe, hey, jemand hat mir das vorgestellt und ich war wirklich überrascht, dass ich es gesehen habe. Und ich würde gerne verstehen, wie es passiert ist, dass du meine Worte als deine präsentiert hast.
TED Talks Daily
Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
Ich bin sicher, dass es nicht intentional war, aber ich würde es nicht mögen, wenn jemand dich von Plagiarismus beurteilen würde. Und jedes Mal haben sie geantwortet, wie ein bisschen schiebisch und verurteilt und dann sofort das Verhalten stoppt. So, is this an example of what you would call calling in instead of calling out? Or am I still a missing part of the process?
TED Talks Daily
Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
Oh, ich mag das.
TED Talks Daily
Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
Ich mag das. Es ist so lustig, du hast recht. Es ist ein bisschen eine Ecke, die herauskommt, wenn ich mich finde, dass ich möchte sagen, ja, ich liebte die Worte, die du geschrieben hast. Ich liebe sie so sehr, dass ich eine Zeitmaschine zurück in den Vergangenheit genommen habe und sie selbst geschrieben habe.

Which is not going to help anyone.

It struck me as I was reading your book that some of your formative experiences, trying to talk people out of hate and out of violence, really laid the groundwork for the way that you have challenged cancel culture. I think we live in a time when people are really quick to write others off. If you see someone hateful, the assumption is that the only way to deal with them is to cancel them.
TED Talks Daily
Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
weil es keine Möglichkeit gibt, sich zu verändern. Und trotzdem hast du in deiner Karriere und in deinem Leben demonstriert, dass sogar die Menschen, die etwas der schlechtesten Dinge über die Menschheit glauben, sogar die Menschen, die etwas der schlechtesten Dinge für die Menschheit getan haben, die Möglichkeit haben, die Seite zu verändern.

Und ich wüsste nicht, ob du ein bisschen über die Epiphany mit Floyd Cochran oder mit William Fuller sprichst.
TED Talks Daily
Sunday Pick: Cancelling cancel culture with Loretta Ross | ReThinking with Adam Grant
What's so striking to me about those experiences, Loretta, is it would have been so easy for you to go to Floyd Cochran and to William Fuller and say you're disgusting, you're vile, and try to shame them into abandoning their worst beliefs and behaviors. And even then, you might have had some of those emotions, but you didn't express them.
