Boop University
Est. 2026 · Bopus Ergo Sum · Accredited by No One in Particular
Revenge of the art history majors.
A simulated liberal arts degree, built in public.
The same questions about power, what it breaks, and who gets to write down what happened.
Why This Place Exists
The same tools that decode a dragon-rider war college decode your workplace and the institutions you were told to trust. The patterns repeat.
Currently Almost on Offer
11 being built. More coming soon.
Ring 0 · The Instrument
Where you put it, who wants it, what it costs. The instrument you think with — before you think with it.
Pattern recognition, heuristics, cognitive biases. Why smart people believe things that aren’t true, and what to do about it.
Logic, fallacies, Schopenhauer’s 38 ways to win an argument dishonestly. Know your enemy.
Ring 1 · The Field · Prof. S. Blenany + Open
Bodies, bonds, and institutional violence from romantasy to Kafka. Starts with Fourth Wing. Ends with Audre Lorde. Your last performance review is in there somewhere.
Narrative power, erasure, and reclamation from Twain to Percival Everett to Get Out. The canon is a record of who got to decide what greatness meant.
Narratives of collapse and resilience. Butler, Robinson, Steinbeck, Orwell, Hagens, Meadows. The world is not ending all at once. But it is changing faster than our institutions can adapt.
Learning to actually see, not just look. Pattern recognition through visual training. 30 minutes daily. No prior experience required.
Plato through Foucault, with stops at Arendt, Machiavelli, and Tocqueville’s more alarming observations about democracy.
Ring 2 · The Architecture
Starts with a primary source document proposing to reorganize the executive branch in the name of God. Ends with Octavia Butler, who named this moment in 1993 and was correct.
Network theory, emergence, feedback loops. Why things collapse, why things cascade, and why “nobody could have predicted this” is almost never true.
Starts with a children’s novel naming the shadow. Ends fifteen weeks later with the student writing their own diagnosis. Eighteen centuries of vocabulary in between.
Thermodynamically speaking. The economy runs on energy, not money. It has been running, fast, on 500 million years of stored sunlight we will not get back. You will not be able to open a package the same way again.

Boop University is part of the WMT Tank — a hybrid creative incubator, philosophical dog park, and trap for ideas before they float away. The animals are involved. More is coming.
