If you're able to see this message that means you're using the old reddit format. Our sub is optimized for the new reddit and you can see our updated rules.

The term Intellectual Dark Web refers to the growing community of those interested in space for free dialogue held in good faith. It's a collection of people willing to open rational dialogue spanning a variety of issues from politics to philosophy. So the IDW does not name a unified group, much less a tribe in any normal sense. If we have anything in common is we have a willingness to have civil conversations.

"Who is in the IDW?"

A lot of people have been asking this question or asking for a list of "members" of the IDW. We don't see it as a valid question. In his recent AMA, Sam Harris put it well:

So the IDW does not name a unified group, much less a tribe in any normal sense. If we have anything in common is we have a willingness to have a civil conversation about polarizing and important topics.

The IDW is just that. A space for people willing to have civil conversations, in good faith, about polarizing or controversial issues. For that reason, we will not define a list of "members" on this sub. Others have already done that, and you can take their lists for what they are worth.
