For goodness sake, people. If disagreeing with me about that or on any individual thinker or idea puts me beyond the pale, you are better off gone. Let's not do purity testing like this. That is the last thing I have to say on the subject.

Never look at your follower count. It isn't important.

Me too but I lost them and all their shade when I slammed them all into my Restricted List on Facebook, and eventually deleted my FB account. Why do intelligent people act like such little bitches, when our non-intellectual friends are actually much more accepting?
-
Fascinating phenomenon right? Whenever I find myself frustrated with the non-intellectuals in my life, I'm like, hey, at least they have senses of humor (and perhaps more importantly, proportion).

Been thinking for a while now that the education system discourages anyone able to think for themselves & question prevailing beliefs. It rewards those who uncritically swallow everything at face value & regurgitate ‘facts’ that are nothing more than opinion masquerading as truth
-
Yep. So true. I'm super lucky that I had parents who encouraged me to read and to think for myself. Which caused all kinds of problems during my educational years...
-
For the record I disagree with you, that’s an uncharitable view of the education system. It’s a product of its clientele. Many people just want the paper to get connections and a job, many others have the will to examine things. Any system has unfair competition and objectors.

Nothing provokes the hatred the Faithful more than heresy. And it is always those relatively closely aligned, but who differ slightly in doctrine, who are viewed as heretics.

The "Intellectual Dark Web" is a moronic term, anyway. Besides, were they all asked if they wanted to join that illustrious club?

I'm a fan of most of the people in that photo shoot, but found it a creepy type of proto-personality cult.

Maybe the answer is to start ignoring the guilt by association crowd.

The only thing it seems good for to me is setting them up for guilt by association from leftists... IDW is just a bad idea

So stop worshipping intellectuals who repeat their mistakes. They're flawed humans. They've created a new group based on victimhood when their whole point is to rail against the victim mentality. Plus, I don't know anyone who takes Haidt seriously.
-
This is dreck.
-
All of it. Yes.
-
“Based on victimhood” is dreck. Ezra Klein writes your tweets?

Sure did. But, I’m not already trying to make Harris out as a bigot, Peterson a Nazi, Rogan as an enabler etc.

Your characterization is ridiculous.
