      Given the wide range of intellectual, ideological & political opinions of individuals said to be in this web, it would be incoherent to think all of them do more harm than good or the other way around. I'd like more attention given to some & less to others. Other ppl will differ https://twitter.com/eanmax10/status/994542237999665152 …

      This is the problem with a collective. It produces a tendency to be for all members or against all members. An in-group & an out-group emerges. Then motivated reasoning comes in to rationalise this and then the actual issues & the productivity of different views on them gets lost

      Rather than 'I'm with or against the Intellectual Dark Web,' we'd be better saying 'I agree with Sam Harris on truth & disagree with Jordan Peterson and this is why.' Or the other way round. That is productive.

          to the individual views of each. And so I can't tell how that any plan to counter than can be executed. (2)

          I don't think counter-tribalism is the way. I'd rather try to renormalise treating people as individuals.

          Yes, very much this. The IDW should be viewed as a set of conversations. If it’s looked at as a defined group with members (rather than nodes that come and go as the conversation does) then the idea rapidly becomes nonsensical.

          I think being viewed as individuals as opposed to a collective is a concept those named as IDB would all agree with. Seems like more of an agreement to discuss differences in a civil manner and respect facts over feelings.

          I look at this as a how to bell the cat kind of issue. The Dark Web concept came up because such an ungodly number of people want to do that. They direct the basest of loathing at Harris, then Weinsteins, then Shapiro and then to every member, no consideration given (1)
