      Let me get this straight. Free speech is soooo under threat that intellectuals have formed some sort of "intellectual dark web"... that consists of sold-out packed arenas, podcasts with more listeners than most TV shows and books that hit best-seller lists—and this is "daring"?pic.twitter.com/fevMlhqrKf

      You read about it in The New York Times.

      Also, if you're writing about intellectuals speaking on forbidden truths, your first quote probably shouldn't be from "an MMA color commentator and comedian who hosts one of the most popular podcasts in the country."

      So a comedian or MMA commentator can't be an intellectual? Discrimination much?

      They can’t both be “most popular” and sooo silenced.

          This tells me you haven't done your research or have a clue about what you're talking about. These folks were shunned, laid off from their jobs, or a riot broke out on university campuses if they were giving a talk. That's what led to their POPULARITY!

          They were the least popular people until folks like you used irrational & illogical arguments to bash them and riot against them on university campuses. That led a rise to their popularity because they took a stance of irrational thinking, and folks took notice.

          They are popular in their own venues, or on the digital space (podcasts, YouTube, live streams etc). But they aren't allowed on university campuses, and when they do come on campuses, riots and attacks take place to where they are harmed.
