Speak With Tyler Bryden

The Intellectual Dark Web

Listen Later

Tyler discusses the “Intellectual Dark Web”, a collective of people having open conversations about controversial topics and amassing massive audiences because of it. This includes people from across the political spectrum from Ben Shapiro to Sam Harris, via Claire Lehmann’s new magazine Quillette, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Jordan Peterson.

What is the “Intellectual Dark Web”? David Fuller describes the main principles as:

  • A willingness to engage in conversations with people who have different beliefs and political viewpoints
  • Rejection of identity politics (and a recognition that it has become the dominant ideology in mainstream media discourse)
  • Ideas worth listening to
  • Honoring of freedom of speech
  • People who don’t want them to speak their truth and try to silence them
