Fixing academia is going to require a principled rebellion.

taught me the Art of Insubordination this week.

He says :

💡Thinkers, be brave like Bryan Caplan- Say what you think even when it goes against your own interests.

🎨Replace politeness and the fear of being wrong with play and creativity.

🪙 Spread out the currency of academic success amongst collaborators.

⬆️Promote leaders who can handle uncertainty, acknowledge limitations, and actively revise ideas.

⏬Invert financial structures, fight against social pressure, and take time to collect evidence.

- Philosophers are MIA in the academic epistemological crisis
- Glitz, glam, and garbage takes are winning in the dissemination of philosophy and science
- It’s important to “take out the good china” for non-philosophy majors
