NeoAcademia is a biweekly exploration of the shifting walls of the ivory tower.

This week I explored The Paper Belt on Fire with author/venture capitalist/renegade philosopher Michael Gibson.

Michael is the co-founder of the 1517 Fund, a venture capital fund investing in teams led by dropouts, and renegade scientists who reject the standard notion of academic credentials. Before that he was vice president for grants at the Thiel Foundation, where he helped launch and run the Thiel Fellowship.

Michael's debut book is the story of how he got here after dropping out of a philosophy Ph.D program.
