https://x.com/ggreenwald/status/1943321867122556955?s=46&t=uxFF0u_0ecJVW04Kh-xZdg It’s so cringe to look at the IDW these days. These supposed “renegade thinkers” were really just astroturfing subsidized by Zirp. Sam Harris built a logic bomb with meditation wire. Lit the fuse — and forgot to step away from the blast radius. Eric Weinstein invented a grand unified theory in the garage. Told no one how it worked in a podcast. Tried to fly with it — and spun in circles until the blueprint caught fire. Bret Weinstein strapped a lab coat to a libertarian parachute. Leapt from the tower of academia. The chute opened — and filled with anecdotal evidence. James Lindsay started trolling woke academia, then painted a tunnel on a rock wall. The woke ran through it. He followed — and slammed into solid stone. Jordan Peterson tamed the chaos dragon with archetypes and beef. Built a moral ladder into the sky. Climbed it — and got stuck halfway up with no way down.

Douglas Murray declared the end of Western Civilization. Set up a telescope to watch it collapse. Looked too long through the wrong end — until it collapsed on him. Ben Shapiro loaded facts into a cannon. Fired them at feelings. The feelings ducked. And they ricocheted off Twitter and back into his face. Joe Rogan interviewed the Road Runner. Smoked a joint with Wile E. Put on rocket skates mid-sentence. Flew into a canyon he didn’t know he was next to. Heather Heying harvested natural wisdom from podcast fungi. Bottled it as immunity Drank it — and turned into a TED Talk about caution. Michael Shermer tried to out-skeptic the skeptics. Set a trap with logic and empirical bait. Sat in it to demonstrate how it works. The trap snapped shut. He said it was statistically unlikely.
