Two Psychologists Four Beers

Episode 3: WTF is the IDW?

Listen Later

Yoel and Mickey take a deep dive into the so-called Intellectual Dark Web (IDW). What is the IDW and who are the prominent members of this group? Why do members of the IDW seem so cranky? Are members of the IDW actually being silenced, and given their massive popularity, who is silencing them? Is the IDW a positive and new development in our culture? Should the members of the IDW be concerned about some of their fans and followers?

Bonus: Why did Yoel decide to have us drink the champagne of beers?
