Recently, Dave Rubin tweeted a video of Will Smith giving credit to Kanye West for his endurance through the blowback by media and Hollywood, resulting from his pursuit of "ideas."

"It's not an easy task to say and do things that elevate people. That's what I love about Kanye right now, and he is willing to take the smash down in order to push ideas," said Smith.

...

As reported by The New York Times, the IDW "is a collection of iconoclastic thinkers, academic renegades and media personalities who are having a rolling conversation — on podcasts, YouTube and Twitter, and in sold-out auditoriums — that sound unlike anything else happening, at least publicly, in the culture right now."

It is a break from the controlled narrative, a glitch in the system, and a powerful movement that is wrecking through the ironclad control of establishment media.

....
In a hyper-polarized culture, when losing the battle of ideas, some lose gracefully, while others not so much. The dialogue begins to break down and the integrity of the process is lost: winning only matters, not being accurate or honest.

The New York Times paints a vivid picture of a potential IDW meeting: "First, they are willing to disagree ferociously, but talk civilly, about nearly every meaningful subject: religion, abortion, immigration, the nature of consciousness. Second, in an age in which popular feelings about the way things ought to be often override facts about the way things actually are, each is determined to resist parroting what’s politically convenient."
