Jay Forrest On Secular Buddhism show

Summary: “Identity politics is the tendency for people of a particular race, religion, gender, or ethnicity to organize politically around that special interest for the sole purpose of advancing that interest without concern or regard for any larger group or collective” (Capital Research Center). The intellectual dark web is “an alternative sense meaning making collective” (Eric Weinstein). Included in this group are Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin, Sam Harris, Bret Weinstein, Eric Weinstein, Michael Shermer, and others.
