This perfectly captures why I’m proud to be a Tortugan. We don’t retreat and wait for collapse, nor do we surrender and become cogs in the machine. We build. We create. We make our mark. The naysayers keep doubting—yet we keep proving them wrong.
This is a great summary of the scope and objectives of the Tortuga Technical Institute. The best portion was your comparsion of Scientific American covers. The degradation of the credentialized world is hidden largely by the ever-present nature of the internet, and such time-lapse photography is the only way to make it apparent to the common man. For the reasons outlined here, Tom Swift magazine aims to capture the market of popular science and engineering coverage. It has recently expanded beyond a personal blog to include cross posts of technical articles written by Tortugans. If you are curious, check this great airship piece from Centaur Write Satyr out.
Modern schools don’t build men—they build dependents. What Tortuga is proposing is restoring real skill, brotherhood, and masculine development through challenge and creation.
Men learn by doing, not by sitting in classrooms. This is a modern rite of passage, and we need a thousand more like it.
Awesome write-up bro. We need to talk soon about some potential technical applications for the legal profession. I've some ideas that I'd love your opinion on.
"A 21st-century successor to Popular Mechanics—a publication that sparks the minds of tinkerers, builders, and sovereign engineers who want more than productivity tips or startup porn." - Are you hiring? (Asking for a friend.)
While admittedly finances are limited, we are currently accepting submissions. At this point, we are looking for writeups of interesting science/electronics projects. Read more here:
We're not in a position right now to hire anyone (on a regular salary) at the moment, but I'm happy to set up call with you if there are concrete ways you want to help.

This is exactly the kind of initiative we need.

Thanks, Noah! Really means a lot coming from you. Full steam ahead. 🚂
