Abide University is a center for higher learning with a lighthearted approach towards mind and meaning.
We offer free undergraduate and advanced degrees and a community of like-minded learners and thinkers.
Our philosophy is that if it doesn’t help improve quality and enjoyment of life, it’s not a part of our philosophy.
We welcome everyone to contribute to our knowledge base, share leads, and create a lounge for limber minds.
Though not the most esteemed (nor accredited) university on earth, we aim to be the most easygoing.

Tao says a journey starts with a single step. A Dudeist would start this journey after a candle-lit tub bath, a joint and a White Russian (or two). The Dudeist couldn’t see it as a race. Or….well, it’s all….never mind.
That’s just, like, your opinion man
May I nominate Abe Lincoln, POTUS and champion wrestler as a “Great Dude.” Wrestling in dozens of matches,
Pres Lincoln lost only one match. At 6’4″ he towered over contenders to his throne.
I second this
He also had monster arms. They were longer and bigger than normal and he was great at grappling.
