What kind of knowing is 'right knowing'?
What kind of thinking is 'right thinking'?
What kind of acting is 'right acting'?

Are there any rules we can follow that apply in all times in all places?

These are questions worth thinking about. And that kind of thinking can be FUN!

The kind of thinking that's the most fun of all is thinking about questions we don't know the answers to ... or that people just can't seem to agree about.

Life. Time. Space. What exactly do we mean by each of these?

How best can we relate to other people? To the environment? 

How can we avoid making so many mistakes?

How can we cultivate wisdom?

Through a mix of games, quizzes, discussions, and puzzles, engage with exciting ideas and schools of thought. Let philosophy come to life in you. Presocratics, Transcendentalists, Perennialists. Discover a rich world of ideas, ready to come to life to inspire you and cultivate clear thinking and a love of wisdom - it's fun and it's one of the best investments you can make in yourself.
