What is the IDW?

• taylormckay 7y ago
  From Wikipedia: The intellectual dark web (IDW) is a neologism coined by American mathematician Eric Weinstein, and popularized in a 2018 editorial by Bari Weiss. The term refers to a group of public personalities who oppose what they see as the dominance of progressive identity politics and political correctness in the media and academia.

    Thank you. Strange that that article doesn’t at all mention Mencius Moldbug even though that’s clearly where this all inherits from.

      How so? Doesn't seem related, except maybe that I'd expect the IDW to criticize Moldbug's ideas.
