We should applaud this resurrection of the civil colloquy in our society and hope that it can simmer tensions and bridge divisions. People having discussions with each other should not be news, it should be the norm. We are not our best selves in 2018 and we should endeavor to be better, to talk to one another and to listen.
are we talking about folks like Jordan Peterson, First Things Journal, Chronicles Magazine etc??
whoever wrote this should be taught to use correct terminology to talk about the enemy, not their preferred terms like liberal or progressive. they are neither. They are fascist leftists. And they should be addressed as such.
You are not talking about liberals....they are like unicorns... a figment of the imagination these days
This is spot on. I don’t think the article mentions Scott Adams, which is a shame, but it mentions a lot of really good people. I watch quite of few of these on YouTube and it is refreshing.
Modern so-called “journalism” is just propaganda aimed at persuading low-intellect people to accept a Leftist ideology.
The Intellectual Dark Web actually has thoughtful people discussing big ideas in a serious way. I don’t imagine a huge percentage of voters would care to spend time listening, but those who do are rewarded for their efforts.
At the very least, the public should be aware that journalism doesn’t discuss ideas and doesn’t seek the truth in any way. For people who may not know what “discussing ideas and seeking the truth” looks like, then the Intellectual Dark Web allows people to find out how that differs from CNN.
I don’t like the term Intellectual Dark Web; it sounds too much like the Deep State. It has a sinister sound.
I listen to most of these people. Was a little surprised though when I learned they are part of the “Intellectual Dark Web”. . .these people are shining light on truth. But the pseudo progressive fascists consider the truth to be dark and foreboding. I suppose to them it is. Carry on Freepers and IDWers.
The answer to YouTube censorship. Launching this Independence Day.
Trump’s election has made abundantly clear liberalism’s intolerance and outright hatred of those who disagree with their ideas. The recent study that shows the media reporting on Trump being 90% negative is but one example. Having a civil discourse on conflicting ideas which used to be the hallmark of colleges and universities is not only gone, but those with points of view different from the fringe left are banned, shouted down or even threatened with riots. The liberal ideaology has even reached levels of absurdity where colleges are providing safe spaces complete with coloring books for precious snowflakes to decompress if they experience some microagression and imposing surreal language to be used so that lunatic fringe groups are not offended.
add City Journal writers to that mix too.
And some of the IBD editorials.
My son told me about these guys- he’s been a Joe Rogan fan for years and listens to the others. It’s a wonderful thing when differrences are talked about, when ideas are freely discussed. This is LIBERTY! They have respect for themselves and each other. A ray of light.
Interesting to watch.
