      Michael Tracey Retweeted Eric Weinstein

      Check out how the leader of the Intellectual Dork Web responds to my claim that they have an Israel-sized blindspot in their critique of "outrage culture." Rather than address it, he launches a meandering digression about whether I have proper credentialshttps://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1096976589554802688 …

      Excuse me. Do we know each other? Did I back over your dog...or is this the way you normally open conversation with strangers on difficult topics as an objective journalist? Forgive me, but it does say “Journalist” in your bio. Do you subscribe to the journalist code of ethics?

      Apparently some people are so riveted by this (still ongoing) discussion that they are desperate to give me money. I started a Patreon awhile back but haven't officially launched it yet. That said, I won't stop you:https://www.patreon.com/mtracey

      I just spent two hours going back and forth with the IDW guy. In the interest of furthering public-spirited dialogue, I'm willing to continue: maybe on some other medium. But Jesus, that was exhausting.

      Re-upping this thread, in case you were doing something better with your Saturday night and missed it (which is hopefully 99% of you). Make sure to find all the replies, I'm not sure everything threaded properly. One of the most bizarrely tedious Twitter exchanges I've ever had.

      Twitter commenters have informed me I’m just jealous of the IDW and really want to be invited to one of their exclusive restaurant outings. Fine, I admit it. My dream is to share an appetizer with Ben Shapiro

      I actually agree with some of the IDW's critiques of outrage culture, over-sensitivity, inhospitality to debate, tribalism, identity-obsession, and so on. Problem is, they're just as implicated by these critiques as anyone, but pretend to float above it all for marketing purposes

          You're correct about the IDW's blindspot w/ Israel. Eric's constant deflections illustrate that. That said, the IDW is more intellectually honest than 95% of the media and I think you and Eric have lots of shared values. Would have gone smoother if he was familiar w/ your work.

          Not wrong. It is important for them to more clearly repudiate these behaviors when they see it in their followers, rather than trying to play percentage games about how those behaving poorly among them are a smaller proportion.

          You'd probably be better off trying to learn from people such as @EricRWeinstein who are much smarter than you rather than trying to critique them from your perspective.
