Weiss, B. (2018). Meet the Renegades of the Intellectual Dark Web. The New York Times. Published 8 May 2018. nytimes.com returns HTTP 403 to automated clients, so the text was read from the recorded capture, whose payload was checked and carries the full column. Cited for the labelling event, not as an assessment of the group: the column reports the term as 'coined half-jokingly by Mr. Weinstein' and describes the group in its subjects' own terms. Sam Harris, Eric Weinstein and Dave Rubin are named in the column's opening; Jordan Peterson is discussed later in it.
