I do plan on moving the IDW Podcast list to under my own personal blog node instead, and not directly on the portal, only because politics should be kept separate from career stuff imo.

Wouldn't it be better to just not give these crazies any more publicity?

Evidently OP is eager to promote the people on that list and believes they are serious thinkers

change "believes" to "knows" and yes.

For anyone who also thinks Ben Shapiro is a "serious thinker", here is the thesis that "Perhaps Ben Shapiro Shouldn't Be Taken Seriously By Anyone About Anything": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDMjgOYOcDw

In short: he's routinely wrong, his views never progress in recognition of his many MANY errors, because he feels that his views are correct regardless of what the facts are; all while smugly bleating "Facts Don't Care About Feelings".

he's so comically unserious, he had to change the title of his own book after liberals pointed out to him that he miscounted how many arguments he was making in "10 rules for debating leftists": https://twitter.com/existentialfish/status/12574410677308620...

most of the others on that list are just as bad but it's noteworthy that this laughable "intellectual dark web" has Ben Shapiro among those playing the victim card as if he is a repressed academic even though he openly and cynically proclaims his unwillingness to engage honestly with the opposition ("So, the only other reason that you should ever have a conversation, or be friends with anyone on the left and, and not even be friends, is if you're in public in front of a large audience and then your goal is to humiliate them as badly as possible")

these people aren't "intellectuals" or even remotely serious.

Thanks for your opinion. Fighting BigTech censorship was one of my reasons for creating Quanta.
