Expanding Skeptocapital: Call for Posts
Salkians, Salkians everywhere
Hi all. Happy 2024. I hope you haven’t inadvertently tweeted out any threatening rap lyrics that were mistaken for an actual threat, because that seems like a really bad thing to do!
Anyhoo.
As I reflected on how I wanted to expand Skeptocapital, I realized that its mission should not be controlled by my limitations - writing desires, time to write, etc. - so I wanted to start off the year with an open invitation.
Some of you may have articles, poetry, or something else that fits within the themes of Skeptocapital, and you’d prefer an existing platform to share it on. So, I’m offering this one up to you as a space to do so. Moreover, I want to give you the space to write it anonymously if you so desire.
I’ve had lots of people send me texts, emails, and DMs sharing views that, in the current discourse, would get them ostracized (at best) or fired (at worst) for expressing them; the blunt-force-capital wing of the tech industry has shown recent abhorrence for particular ideas. I want this platform to be the place where those views can be freely expressed, shared, and brought into the mainstream.
If you’re interested in contributing, drop me a note at skeptocapital@gmail.com (or on Twitter — DMs are open) sharing a few things:
what you want to write about (in 2-3 sentences)
when you want to share it (deadlines!)
and who you want to read it/what goals you have in sharing your perspectives
I look forward to hearing from you.
