Greetings, Ronin Scholars

The establishment has been actively working towards eroding initiatives that promote and uphold
independent scholarship, systematically
Often from within, in  creepy silent ways.

Earlier this year Igdore research affiliates received the unsettling news that Rebecca Willen, its founder, stepped down from the board
Due to some 'pressures' it seems

Today I hear that Gavin Taylor, who is on this list was acting as a director is 'no longer an IGDORE researcher nor on the board'
Gavin, we d like to hear from you, what happened?

I think someone, or something, is actively tearing down all infrastructure and initiatives aimed at
supporting independent scholarship, and trying to get rid of competent good nature independent thinkers
Possibly trying to replace them with lackeys?

I dont know who they are, how they are achieving this, 

This list moderates posts that do not answer the question, but remains open to continue discussions to foster independent scholarship initiatives operating under ronin-institute.org and hopefully IGDORE 

More shock? More pain?

Best wishes to all

Paola Di Maio

I'd be interested in learning more about the two resignations mentioned by Paola, Rebecca Willen and Gavin Taylor, who is on this list.

In general, what are other scholars experiencing at IGDORE? Are people happy and productive with the transition?

Best
Regina
