We dig into guerrilla scholarship with Dr. Sheldon Greaves, exploring how independent learners can recreate the best parts of academia without the bureaucracy. We share practical tools, stories of underground universities, and a sober view of AI’s promise and limits.

• defining guerrilla scholarship and why it matters now
• academia’s incentive traps and the credential vs qualification gap
• accreditation gatekeeping and absurd rejections of real expertise
• models from history: flying universities and community salons
• practical access: open courses, public libraries, government repositories
• building affiliations and “scholar in residence” pathways
• AI as automation tool vs human intuition and reasoning
• slowing the pace to fight misinformation and think clearly
• creating neighborhood learning communities and alternative libraries
