18: Slipping the DISC: State of The Portal and Chapter 2020: Difference between revisions

What some of you don't know is that I believe that, inside of that group of four, one of us wrote a book immediately after getting a PhD, which is Heather Heying's book, ''[https://www.amazon.com/Antipode-Seasons-Extraordinary-Wildlife-Madagascar/dp/0312281528 Antipode]'', about her solo travels to the jungles of Madagascar. So if you have a young woman in your life who is looking for a pretty impressive female role model, I would say Heather's toughness, intelligence, and grit makes for pretty terrific reading, and I'd recommend buying the book ''Antipode'' for that young lady.

The purpose of The Portal, if you will, is to create a channel that has never existed. Now, I could try to submit everything to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Review_Letters Phys Review Letters]. I could try to submit to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Econometrica Econometrica]. I could try to go through all of the normal channels, and I think what I've started to realize is, part of the problem of having screwed up all of this early stuff in our lives, of having tried to do this the formal and "right" way, so to speak–the privilege of having been screwed over so directly and so beautifully by the system is the right to raise the middle finger to the institutions. Like, how dare you expect that I'm going to use your quiet procedures.
