Mission

As inspired by Against Method (1975) by Paul Feyerabend, we believe that science, when it truly moves, is fundamentally anarchic. Feyerabend called this epistemological anarchism, where "anything goes" becomes a necessary antidote to stagnation. If you look at the real history of progress, you will not find pristine methodology. You will find radical individuals with counter-inductive ideas, standing in defiance of their peers and the dominant paradigms of their time. They often achieved progress through means other than method or empiricism. Sometimes it was argumentation. Sometimes it was stories, rhetoric, or even propaganda.

To bring science back to life, we must create space for diverse approaches. Not every idea must be testable by today's standards. Some begin as instinct, contradiction, or philosophical rebellion. A living science embraces methodological variety.

Scientific progress is made by people, not processes. It is born from singular minds with strange intuitions and unforgiving visions. Scientists should be bold. They should be envied, admired, and remembered. Children should look up to them not as lab coat cogs but as the giants they once were. People who saw further because they dared to look.

Historically, science was animated by individuals who did not seek consensus or comfort. They pursued the edges of reality itself, often at personal cost. Their ideas were not filtered through committees or optimized for grant acceptance. They stood alone when they had to and the world bent around them.

Openness is not about open-source code. In fact, there are several examples of closed-source labs achieving incredible progress while embracing internal openness. What matters is not code visibility but the dissolving of artificial boundaries between disciplines, between worldviews, between types of knowledge.

We believe in a culture where physicists talk to poets, biologists draw from painters, and historians shape models of the future. Openness means ideas flow freely, unburdened by institutional silos or disciplinary pride.

Self-sufficiency means decentralization in the broadest sense. Those with the fire to pursue bold ideas and radical areas of inquiry should not only be culturally embraced, but they should also have the means to do so at their own will. Scientific infrastructure should evolve such that access to funding can be streamlined for researchers who are willing and able to venture onto the frontier. Tools should be available that enable methodological exploration and enhanced creativity.

We envision a world where the passionate researcher need not wait for institutional approval or navigate bureaucratic labyrinths to begin their work. Where the curious mind can access the resources, equipment, and collaborative networks necessary to transform wild ideas into tangible experiments. Science should be something one can wake up and pursue with immediacy, armed with both vision and the practical means to realize it.
