    Excellent analysis by Bari Weiss of the "Intellectual Dark Web." I can confirm Joe Rogan & Dave Rubin's reach: More strangers recognize me from their shows than MSM appearances. Weiss identifies the promise (enriching debate) & danger (legitimizing kooks).https://nyti.ms/2HXUM6L

        That's exactly why her piece is making heads explode this morning. The Left worked tirelessly for 50 years to take over the Academy and the media and as soon as they achieved their goal we made the Academy and the media irrelevant.

        It's a massively bitter pill for a soft squishy rainbow haired neo-Marxist who spent 9 years of life and $100K to earn a PhD to get there and realize the real intellectuals left her behind, that the universities are nothing more than government slush for nobodies now.

        That's the real significance of the IDW. The universities and the media both became schlerotic havens for rent seekers so the doers, world shakers, and intellectuals of real significance just left both institutions behind.

        I think you’d like pinker. He’s a thoughtful fellow. Give him a try. Maybe “How the Mind Works”. He is an atheist to boot.

        Pinker is cool. Check out his book “The Better Angels of Our Nature.” It’s about how society is progressing towards less and less violence.

        I would go ahead and read all the critiques of that book as well. Pinker sets himself up a nice little empirical bubble by ignoring tons of data. And gets ripped by many clearer thinkers than he.

        YouTube is not actually the Dark Web.

        If this is your take away you either wrote this before reading the article, didn't read the article, or the didn't correlate the IDW name and point

        There's no "takeaway" from this except that @bariweiss is a right wing hack who can't write her way out of a paper bag. The Intellectual Dork Web isn't a thing at all. These people all have huge platforms.

        Well... Did you read it? It never states any relation to the dark web, but was a jesting moniker from Eric Weinstein. The thinkers mentioned are counter mainstream (dark) who've gained notoriety on web platforms.

        They aren't counter mainstream, they're just mainstream. It's a bunch of conservatives with slightly warmed over racist and sexist ideals being presented as edgy new iconoclasts. Note how they never write these paeans to anyone on the left? Funny that.
