The James Altucher Show
Eric Weinstein
The person who initially coined the term IDW and Bernie supporter waxes on life, imposter syndrome, and emotional stress. It’s impossible to synthesize these type of episodes where the topics are so large that it becomes directionless but it’s worth listening.

The Intellectual Dark Web
Stephen Fry & Richard Dawkins
Although not “official” members of the IDW or whatever that means, this episode is from the IDW Podcast run by god-knows-who. This episode is more of a conversation between two friends and intellectual juggernauts for an hour about science, religion and politics. What a treat!
Intellectual Dark Web
Selected by:
Wilson
We’re back this week with an issue that’s both culturally and politically spicy but most important of all interesting. The intellectual dark web (you may have heard of it, you may have not) is an amorphous, card and leaderless, collective of non-mainstream academics and “characters” that discourse around controversial topics like free speech, religion, identity politics, and of course Trump. Initially coined by Eric Weinstein (no relation to the molester), the ever growing “group” with a website maintained by “no one” span a wide range on the political spectrum and they generally have only their excommunication from Institutions in common. Whatever degree of Left you are aligned with, these 5 episodes bring a good plate of food for your thought. Enjoy!
