Dr Jordan B Peterson’s meteoric rise in popularity has started intense intellectual conversations on topics from free speech to gender politics. Now, after seeing free speech threatened by Big Tech censorship, he worked with experts to create his own platform for people to have just those kinds of discussions.
MRC Techwatch, which covered the creation of this new platform, was selected as one of the first users.
In the initial email sent October 1, Thinkspot was described as:
“a community built around a curated collection of content, with features that enable users to engage with some of today’s leading thinkers. Our mission is to promote meaningful and respectful discourse that foster an open exchange of ideas, inciting users to challenge perspectives and discover interesting and informed viewpoints.â€
As the platform stands currently in its beta form, users will be able to:
Annotate and share video, podcast, and eBook content
Interact with the community in public and private forums
Access exclusive content and special live stream events
Share and exchange ideas with some of the world's leading thinkers
The e-mail added that from the bert get-go of this endeavor “we value freedom of thought and expression across a wide range of topics, and encourage you to engage regularly with the community and support our growing roster of contributors.â€
