I am launching a Paid Subscription option. I will still post plenty of free material. But here is why you might consider signing up for a paid subscription.
Heterodox Academy is limited to academics. Is this your path too? One of the things folk miss is that one of the enduring problems is that folk in the professions (law, medicine, engineering, pharmacy) are systematically smarter than most academics. Some cross-pollination might be good.
“ Finally, the last fifty years of expansion of college education has not gone well, in that people with second-rate minds now expect to be treated like first-rate elites. In order to do that, many college-educated people have adopted a set of beliefs and attitudes that are certain to differentiate themselves from the rest of the public, because the beliefs and attitudes make little or no sense. This approach to class differentiation produces animosity all around.”

Thanks!
