Bialik’s got a classic vibe, teaching her kids that it’s okay to disagree with people without flipping the cancel culture switch. She asserted, touching on how she wants her boys to tackle disagreement:

What I’d like to teach my children is that they don’t have to agree with every single thing that someone says. And that also doesn’t mean that that person is bad, wrong, should be canceled, should never be spoken about or to. But it’s really hard. 

Bill Maher, known for his outspoken views, jumped in with a nod. He was clearly vibing with Bialik’s take, impressed by her effort to teach critical thinking over snap judgments. The podcast host alluded,

That’s what I’m always preaching… Why is that a heavy lift today with kids? It seems like the default setting on them is judgmental and ‘I know everything,’ especially with generational stuff.

She sees it as a chance to spark meaningful conversations with her sons about forming their own opinions and questioning the status quo. In a world that often craves instant reactions and outrage, their perspective on cancel culture is a breath of fresh air, reminding us that critical thinking and respectful disagreement are crucial.
