PATRONJALI

The Ancient Art of Funding the Fuckery

Give generously. Detach from outcomes. Enjoy the fuckery.

Every great institution requires resources. Scholars need coffee. Books need publishing. Investigations require time. And somebody has to fund the ongoing examination of why humans keep doing the astonishing shit humans do.

Welcome to Patronjali, The WTF University's entirely voluntary practice of funding the fuckery.

Inspired by Patanjali, Patronjali combines ancient philosophical wisdom with the very modern problem of keeping independent inquiry adequately fucking funded.

No enlightenment guaranteed. Just more fucking questions.

  • What It Is

    Fund the Fuckery 

    Support independent writing, research, publishing, and the ongoing investigation into the peculiar business of being human.

    No tuition. No academic requirements. Just voluntary patronage.

  • Why It Exists

    Patronjali helps keep the work moving.

    Books, field guides, philosophical retellings, and investigative tools require time, technology, and resources.

    Keep the Questions Coming 

  • How It Works

    Become a Patronjali 

    Contribute once or support the fuckery on an ongoing basis through Ko-fi.

    Give what you wish. Expect no enlightenment. Enjoy the intellectual mischief.

The Patronjali Sutras

  • Ancient wisdom. Modern funding problems.

  • 1.1 

    And now, the discipline of funding the fuckery.

  • 1.2 

    Patronage is the cessation of fluctuations in the university's bank balance.

  • 1.3 

    Then the Scholar may abide in their true nature: adequately fucking funded.

  • 1.4 

    Otherwise, the Scholar identifies with their day job.

  • 1.5 

    Contributions may generate satisfaction, amusement, and the occasional outbreak of intellectual mischief.

  • 1.6 

    Practice generosity without attachment to institutional enlightenment.

  • 1.7

    Fuck if we know is a valid state of knowledge.

    Thus concludes the first chapter of the Patronjali Sutras. Further revelations are dependent upon funding.

Support the Fuckery. Experience the Jollies. Fund the Next WTF.

You don't need a degree, a ceremonial robe, or a profound understanding of metaphysics.

Just an appreciation for independent inquiry, creative exploration, and the possibility that humanity's operating manual is missing several critical fucking chapters.

Become a Patronjali.
