Intellectual Dark Web

A collection of academics and interviewers who publish work (mostly in print, video, and podcasts) on a variety of subjects including politics, psychology, economics, evolution, physics, Islamic reformation, and comedy.
The group includes (from the political left to right) Bret Weinstein, Sam Harris, Eric Weinstein, Maajid Nawaz, Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, and Ben Shapiro, as well as others.
Most members of the group have been actively publishing work for years, sometimes decades, but the group came to prominence as a whole in the time after the election of Donald Trump.
Some believe the group belongs to the alt-right, but evidence for this claim is scarce because so many members fall into the traditional progressive category.
Man have you seen some of the hit pieces publish against the Intellectual Dark Web? They're getting hit hard this week.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
