Barbaric Research is an educational nonprofit committed to expeditions in thought that push the frontiers of the knowable

and restore a sense of adventure to the life of the mind.

​

After all, if what we're researching doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, then what are we really working towards? Our belief is that the public needs access to intellectual experiences which affect us like a disaster, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves—experiences that shatter the frozen sea inside us.
