Yesterday, I lost a load of people coz I said I admired very many people included in the 'Intellectual Dark Web' list - Pinker & Haidt are my most respected thinkers - but was concerned by the movementiness of such lists & potential for 'guilt by association' & dismissal of all.

It'll be interesting to see if there is any meaningful movementy-ness of it. Most of the people involved have a tendency to eschew movementy-ness and tribalism. I suspect we'll see plenty of de-emphasis from these folks. Except for Dave Rubin. He really wants to be in a club.

FWIW I disagree with you on several things but I like your voice and it’s needed. I understand the prickle feeling re “dark web,” I’ve seen plenty of Bad Actors to be nervous about. I’m not in academe or the public eye. I’m a curious Jane Q Public.

That’s precisely the problem, though. People with very ideologies who can sit in the same room and treat each other with decency means that universities can theoretically function this way. 1/

They aren’t on a ‘list’ in my mind. And perhaps when we restore discourse and reach people to value free expression they’ll no longer be necessary. They can get back to business.

Agreed & thanks for saying it. If I had thrown out Hitchens after his support of the Iraq War, I may never have known of his eloquence on other subjects.

Not to mention it kind of misses the point why the IDW, such as it is, even exists.

Surprised? Helen Rosner blocked me after we exchanged tweets over her take on a W Post op-ed. I disagreed. I wasn't an "ally."

Either an ally or an enemy? Is that where we are?

I follow you because you're thoughtful, not because I agree with you. Good quality original thinking is rare.

I lost followers yesterday too for heavily criticising The Guardian and it's coverage of some within the IDW. Dave Rubin in particular, who is just an utter sweetheart. These are followers I will not miss one iota, frankly.
