Knowland Knows

Knowland Knows is a creator on Patreon who is passionate about creating videos that go beyond the traditional exam-focused education. Having received a scholarship to an independent school at the young age of 13, Knowland experienced firsthand the power of inspiring teaching that broadened his horizons. He firmly believes that books are not just for exams, but rather a way to explore human experiences and ideas. Drawing inspiration from Richard Weaver's idea that "ideas have consequences," Knowland advocates for the protection of free speech under Article 10 of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. This commitment to open dialogue led to his dismissal from his previous employment at Eton College after refusing to delete a video titled "The Patriarchy Paradox" from his personal YouTube channel without a valid reason. Despite facing adversity, Knowland remains dedicated to upholding the importance of open and rigorous discussions in our intellectual and spiritual traditions. With a degree in English Language and Literature, Knowland's interests are wide-ranging, reflecting Montaigne's belief that nothing human should be considered alien. Through his Patreon page, he continues to foster insightful conversations online, preserving the essence of liberty as George Orwell once said, "the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
