Are you Heterodox?

Heterodox Academy was founded in 2015 by Jonathan Haidt, Chris Martin, and Nicholas Rosenkranz, in reaction to their observations about the negative impact a lack of ideological diversity has had on the quality of research within their disciplines.

Do you believe that this lack of ideological diversity exists in academia and in the wider world in general? Is orthodoxy ever a good thing?

Do you consider yourself heterodox?

Heterodoxy is a willingness to go against your tribe, whether your tribe is liberal or conservative. If you consider yourself to be heterodox, can you give any personal examples? Thanks.

I've always been beating to my own drum, and I don't care if others can't understand my tune.

My most obvious example, I refuse to get a cell phone

People need to unplug
Fact is, this world needs a reboot
