From the New York Times:
But they all share three distinct qualities. First, they are willing to disagree ferociously, but talk civilly, about nearly every meaningful subject: religion, abortion, immigration, the nature of consciousness. Second, in an age in which popular feelings about the way things ought to be often override facts about the way things actually are, each is determined to resist parroting what’s politically convenient. And third, some have paid for this commitment by being purged from institutions that have become increasingly hostile to unorthodox thought — and have found receptive audiences elsewhere.The point made in the above quote can't be made clear enough. These are a diverse group of people bound together by little more than their insistence on civility and intellectual honesty. Yet, I've come across several articles which give them inaccurate labels in order to peg them political enemies.
Here is the gateway to the Intellectual Dark Web. It is much easier to access now than for those of us who had to jump the fence.
