Just when I think things are going to shit, I see crowds like this attending an event where they pay to see some people discuss philosophy and science, and it gives me hope again.
The way in which these audiences defy their stereotypes is infuriating. How ever will they be dismissed? Will the margins wither in their absence?https://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1018511774738472960 …

The MSM and the Left have abandoned Bertrand Russell's 1950 definition of a liberal, and opted to inhabit bizarre inversion of the term to defend orthodoxy, institutional hegemony, and conformity. In any event, I don't see how the MSM recovers. The Food Channel now outdraws CNN.

I'd love to see a direct comparison. Have CNN rent out an arena & sell it as a live performance of a
@donlemon panel, replete with the same bickering assholes who are paid to lie about what they believe. Who's buying tickets for that show. -
Ouch.

Curious to know if you're aware of the
#walkaway movement. And if you are, do you see it as a, let's say, non-intellectual, egalitarian parallel to this 'thing' called the IDW? cc:@EricRWeinsteinThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

They will not be covered as anything other then nascent Nazi's, if their gatherings are covered at all. This will not decrease their numbers.

There was a time (say 1965?? through 1985??) when Western intellectual thinking was defined by its abject rejection of stereotypes. Shocking to see stereotype-driven thinking re-emerge with such a vengeance. Do we have to re-learn the fallacy all over again?

People screaming and yelling is not stereotypical? People revolting against main stream is not stereotypical? 3 hour long form discussions are not stereotypical in current media. But political rallies are stereotypical
