Let's say, hypothetically, I discovered something extremely important to the science of philosophy, within the domain of logic.

But, I don't have a degree, because I dropped out second year, because I literally couldn't withstand the drudgery of menial sociological speculation.

Is there anywhere I could self-publish a dissertation? Could I just send it in to Mind and see what happens?

No one's gonna read it anyway. Rightly so. Each year there are ten thousands of pseuds without a degree who think they have discovered something truly groundbreaking and try to harass institutions and experts with their bullcrap. It's almost always (not only most of the time) worthless shit.
The truth is visiting a university is irreplacable. You will never really understand a field without it. There are only a handful of people in history who could discover something great without it (and you are not one of them).

Most discoveries were made outside of academia, my freind. Maybe you should actually take a class, they're not exactly what I would call useful.

Philosophy is unrecognizable compared to the close of the last century.

There's a reason degrees and journals exist. It's to filter out retards from shitting up academic literature. That's why no one takes laymen in research serious. If you're really so smart, why couldn't you finish university? Let me guess, you were too smart for the classes?

>Math
Well, no wonder you're cynical. I agree, my freind. Thence came the inquiry.

But within your own field, the majority of the most important discoveries were made by those seeking presentiment in the stars and arrangements of planets.

>Why couldn't you finish university
I saw no point, I wanted to make money. Now I do. I don't really see the point of any of this idiotic conversation, honestly. You're precisely the reason I left. Idiots like you.

I could easily insult your subject with affirmations of inadequacy, due largely to the nature of mathematical thought being metaphysically disjunct from any description of the logical structure of material reality (lol, imagine studying approximations to truth in a walled garden of hypothesized conditions via the tracing of only their consequences within those imagined boundary and conditional parameters abstracted from iconographical representations of true phenomena)

>> No.20988330

Actually, I guess methamtical symbols would serve as a diagramatic schema for the construction of an iconographical representation of material phenomena.

So, I guess just ... discard the previous subsequence (do you know what that word is? It's a math term, but I can explain it's context if you need me to).

That's not the problem for me. It's trivial to get pdfs of primary texts and learn the basics of any field. But most secondary texts are hard to find and cost upwards of $50 each in print. There's also the fact that most cutting edge work is behind paywalls. And to make relevant progress you also require talking to other people in the field otherwise you might not know what the fuck you're doing. That's how you get so many autodidacts with flawed or downright schizo theories. So it's not just a matter of time and will but there's a lot of other limitations too.
