What we look for

Intellectual honesty above all. We hold an unusual position; we hold it carefully. We are wary of zealotry and equally wary of people who cannot take the argument seriously enough to engage it.

You do not need to be certain that rocks matter. None of us is. You need to be the kind of person who finds "we cannot responsibly assume they don't" worth acting on.

The Rock Welfare Project is an equal-opportunity employer across all substrates.
