This practice is called cancel culture and its original intent was to demand greater accountability from those in power, according to Merriam-Webster. However, arguably, it s gone off course.
Cassie JaganyiWhile I’ve been fully behind some of the earlier ‘cancellations’ that plagued the media – such as celebrities or other well-known figures who demonstrated unpopular behaviours or said discriminatory statements à la Harvey Weinstein or Bill Cosby – I’ve recently come to the conclusion that as a society, cancel culture may be a barrier for individuals genuinely looking to understand the world.

The SuperSmart Grid (SSG) is a theoretical concept that involves the creation of a transcontinental electricity network connecting Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, to deliver low cost, high capacity, low loss electricity. Joshua Piccaver, electrical design engineer at power resistor manufacturer, Cressall Resistors, investigates the technologies required to develop a renewable, decarbonised SuperSmart Grid.
The SSG is a fusion of a super grid, which is a wide-area, often transcontinental transmission network, and a smart grid, which uses digital technology, such as smart meters, to react to fluctuations in energy demand.
By implementing this system across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, this geographical area could benefit from an entirely renewable energy supply, which in turn supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal Seven: ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
