      Just popping my head up to admire this. Many individuals identified as part of the IDW are just that, individuals; truth-seeking, intellectually honest thinkers who will not conform to any movements or alliances but the concept of an IDW with members is likely to obscure that.https://twitter.com/AliceDreger/status/994047635718844416 …

      Okay, here's why I asked to not be in that NYT article about the "intellectual dark web": http://alicedreger.com/IDW

      It's likely to provide justification for 'guilt by association' & misrepresentation of individuals by those who already think tribally & are morally motivated to write off everyone who disagrees with them using the worst ideas of the worst people they've ever been associated with

          Replying to @HPluckrose

          They strike me as people who genuinely want to move society forward and higher, and recognize that needs to be informed by science and history instead of ideology. This requires them to work with people who disagree to flush out their ideas, so they welcome honest opposition.

          I'd be the last person to disagree with people wanting that setting aside differences to achieve common goals and welcoming honest opposition. My concern is only what I stated.

          Replying to @HPluckrose

          I think more and more people are seeing the tribalism for what it is. However, a diverse group of people like the IDW being lumped into a group together could be very, very influential. If for nothing else than advocating reason in dialogue.

          Likely? It's already started. Apparently Sam Harris and the Weinstein bros get their kicks from owning the libs and making fun of marginalized people
