I want to share an incredible, fully-funded opportunity to travel Greece, study the classics and come hang out with me.
Last summer, I attended Ralston College’s MA program in the humanities learning Ancient Greek while traveling across Greece. It was the best trip of my life, added a whole new dimension to my understanding of the classics and resulted in lifelong friendships. I cannot recommend it enough and I’m not writing this as a paid promotion but out of genuine enthusiasm of what they built. This year, I will be returning as an instructor (for a seminar or two) and so you’ll also get the chance to hang out with me if you are selected.
This is a fully-funded one-year MA: you spend the first 2 months traveling in Greece in an Ancient Greek Intensive and the rest of the year in Savannah Georgia going through the Western Canon. Currently it is only open to American citizens. You can apply before December 18th here for priority consideration: ralston.ac/apply

I’ve started a clips channel on youtube to share the absolute highlights from my 2+ hour episodes in more digestible chunks of 5-10 minutes. Would mean a lot if you could subscribe to help me jump start it:
If you are around Florence next week (Aug 4th - 9th) and would like to join a Great Books dinner meet up with me, fill in your details here and I will email you!
EARLY ACCESS: I am launching a new series on philosopher-builders: technologists who’ve had deep engagement with philosophy. My first episode is ready, it’s with the founder of a $16 billion public company who was a superstar philosopher at Princeton (BA) and Oxford (graduate) before having an existential crisis and moving to SF.
I’d love some feedback before the main launch so if you are open to it, just enter your email below and I’ll add you to our newsletter where I will be sending you an early access link early next week!
