Dr Jamie Roberts is a Lecturer in the Department of Government and International Relations at the University of Sydney and the author of The Intellectual Dark Web: A History (and Possible Future). In this episode of the Freedom Pact podcast, Jamie Q. Roberts explore the origins and implications of the Intellectual Dark Web (IDW), discussing key figures like Douglas Murray and Steven Pinker, cultural critiques from Monty Python to Shakespeare, and the impact of modern media on free speech and academia. The conversation delves into the challenges faced by academics and the rise of 'canceled professors' as symbols of resistance against censorship. We also look at the events that caused the break up of the IDW, and what it would take for it to have a future, including potential reconciliations between the likes of Sam Harris and Bret Weinstein.Timestamps:IDW Origin Story, Douglas Murray & Steven Pinker 00:00Are Monty Python & Shakespear IDW? 05:50Rick & Morty 16:00Bret Weinstein's Evergreen & 'The Cancelled Professor' 20:50Sam Harris Vs Ben Affleck 31:00Jordan Peterson Vs Cathy Newman 34:00Grievance Studies 37:30Noam Chomsky 40:20Postmodernist Sleight Of Hand 42:50Stephen Fry & Political Correctness 47:20Are The IDW Right Wing? 51:30Sam Harris Vs Bret Weinstein 58:00Donald Trump & The IDW 1:02:00The Return & Future Of The IDW 1:20:00IDW Members List 1:23:30Jamie's Cancelled Book 1:31:30Links:www.youtube.com/@FreedomPact (watch all of our content in video form)https://freedompact.co.uk/newsletter www.Instagram.com/freedompactwww.twitter.com/freedompactpod Email: [email protected] https://Tiktok.com/personaldevelopmentLinks:Jamie's book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intellectual-Dark-Web-History-Possible/dp/1634312708/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0Jamie on X: https://x.com/jamieqroberts
