Intellectual dark web
 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Eric Weinstein. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2018. |
The Intellectual dark web is a phrase coined by mathematician Eric Weinstein to describe a strand of contemporary political philosophy in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States that seeks to transcend the traditional left-right political spectrum.[1][2][3][4] The movement gets its name from its use of non-traditional methods of communication, such as YouTube and other social media platforms.[1][2] People associated with the intellectual dark web are particularly popular among young men.[1][3] The movement has a multi-million strong following and it plays a central role in the Culture War in the late 20th and 21st century western society. This is so far the only term put forward by the members of the movement. Discarding it effectively enforces the derogatory labels attached to the movement by it's opponents.
