This is pretty interesting Meet the Renegades of the Intellectual Dark Web (IDW). Not only did this blog correctly predict economics and fiance stuff, but it also predicted an intellectual movement.

Shoddy reporting from Bloomberg View
Remember Inflation? It’s coming to a grocery store near you. Bloomberg is either so biased against Trump or so naive of economics, that they are inventing an inflation problem when none exists.

It was right there all along The Jordan Peterson vs. Vox Day feud rages on, and although Vox says he has nothing against Jordan Peterson and considers him neither friend nor foe, calling him an intellectually dishonest coward are not exactly terms of endearment. It’s more like a one-sided feud considering that Jordan Peterson has… Continue reading Vox Day vs. Jordan Peterson, part 2
