About Guerrilla Scholarship

"Guerrilla Scholar" is a nominal job title of Dr. Sheldon Greaves, the author of Cogito! It is briefly defined as pursuing the life of the mind through unconventional means and methods. This web site is for the promotion and support of independent scholars, amateur scientists, artists, and all those who enjoy the life of the mind but can't, won't, or ought not to do so within the confines of academia.

Guerrillascholar.com is dedicated to the proposition that to acquire knowledge, no matter how obscure, is an essential human activity, and that using our insight to improve the world is the highest expression of the human spirit.

Surfing the Apocalypse

Every age has its cadre of doom-sayers, partly because every age has its own brand of crisis that might look like the End of Days has come.  The current recession (or proto-Depression, if you will), is prompting a lot of concern and rightly so.  There are a lot of people out there who are losing [...]
