About Erik Hoel
The Intrinsic Perspective is a newsletter about consilience: breaking down the disciplinary barriers between science, history, literature, and cultural commentary. I started writing it in 2021 and I’ve received a Substack featured publication badge every year since.

I’m an essayist. I grew up in his mother’s independent bookstore. Before getting on Substack, I wrote a novel, The Revelations, was a New York City Emerging Writer’s Fellow, and published essays in publications like The Atlantic.
I’m also a scientist.
