57:42Now PlayingMy guest in this episode is Jamie Roberts, author of the excellent Intellectual Dark Web: A History (and Possible Future). We traced the IDW’s rise, fragmentation, and legacy. The Intellectual Dark Web (IDW) emerged as a loose alliance of heterodox thinkers—figures like Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson, and the Weinstein brothers—who challenged mainstream narratives on free speech, identity politics, and meritocracy. It wasn’t a formal group but a label for those unafraid to engage in tough, unfiltered conversations.
The IDW’s appeal lay in its rejection of ideological echo chambers, offering a platform for ideas often stifled by political correctness. Yet, its lack of cohesion—bound only by shared principles, not conclusions—led to inevitable splintering.
