Alex Petkas of Cost of Glory discusses leaving academia and how the ivory towers are no longer a place for excellence and high agency people but conformity and mediocrity. He explains why Plutarch is more important than you think and how the ancient Greeks and Romans are the model of manliness and hero culture for the West. He points out ancient elite dynamics and past history which rhymes with the present.
