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.

Preparing for Downsizing

A recent article in the Washington Post reports growing confidence in the US economy even though it will probably be some time before we see a real, live “recovery”.  Call me cynical, but I don’t really think we’ve hit bottom yet.  There are still a few big, snarling economic nasties out there, and some problems [...]
