Beta Testing for Jordan Peterson’s Free Speech Platform Thinkspot Goes Live!

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.”

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 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.”

The account creation process is extremely quick with a brief tutorial on how to use the various features.

The Terms of Service make it very clear that this website is radically pro-freedom of speech and debate so long as there is no illegal activity.

The main page of the website shows a menu of intellectual commentators to follow, podcasts to listen to, and thought-provoking articles to read.

Rather than merely upvoting or downvoting posts, users can also choose intellectually-oriented reactions such as "disagree," "provocative, "insightful," "agree," "like," and "recommend."
