Need to shine a light on today’s most important political and social controversies? Apparently the place to go is to the intellectual \u2018dark web’<\/strong> or perhaps even to the critical \u2018darker\u2019 web where disagreements abound, but honesty, a respect for free speech, and a general sincere desire to improve humanity’s condition seem to be the common ground on which its debaters stand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In their quick review of a veritable ‘Who’s Who’ on the ‘dark web,’ Robert and Danielle highlight the contrasts and similarities among its most notable representatives \u2013 whether on the Left or Right. They include Gad Saad, Joe Rogan, Camille Paglia, Owen Benjamin, Lindsay Shepherd, Christina Hoff Somers, Douglas Murray, Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Ben Shapiro, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Steven Crowder, Matt Christensen \u2013 and of course, Eric Weinstein.<\/p>\n

In his recent conversation with Dave Rubin and Jordan Peterson (Rubin Report, June 29\/18), Weinstein proposed \u201chermaphroditic parties\u201d that \u2018combine\u2019 elements of right and left. Of course, such a notion is one that can only emanate from the Left. But his is a \u2018Left\u2019 largely disassociated from its namesake<\/strong> (where no debate or discussion is permitted) \u2013 and thus finds itself, like the Right, on the so-called \u2018dark web.\u2019<\/p>\n

Whether on the Left or Right, members of the \u2018dark web\u2019 generally tend to be united in a search for ‘truth’ through open and honest debate and discussion. <\/p>\n

The irony of all this of course, is that in order to create the free speech environment where true alternative viewpoints can be freely discussed, it was necessary to move toward the side of the political polarity that is Just Right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
