Right, respect, if it is not there it is only for a short time.
No credit for being right and all for having a go, arguing, questioning (yourself and the group) and having a guess as to how others are guessing.
We ask for honesty, intelligence, and an appreciation of surprise.
Society for Thought, Interpretation and silent reasoning
About Us
It's a community for witches and wizards who don't shy away from asking and being asked the hard questions about life and... general things.
We seek the tricky questions, the knotty problems, the paradoxes, and the big, deep, knowledgable ones on the difference of our perspective.
It's only you; there are no tests, no grades, no right and no wrong.
Just questions, understanding and curiosity.
We play each week with 4 thoughtfully prepared questions:
• A Philosophical Question - seems simple, but tends to divide and conquer, especially in the comments sections.
• A Moral Dilemma - both sides have their price, none of them comfortable.
• A Social Insight Prompt - A short, personal, honest response.
• A Riddle - logical and quite deceiving if your not careful.
You can comment as publicly as you like.
No prize for being right and all for thinking and challenging (yourself, your fellow participants), as well as for having an idea on how others think.
Sample Challenge
1. Philosophical Question
Would you rather be respected or understood?
Response: Understood; for true respect without it is temporary.
2. Moral Dilemma
You can save one stranger or 5 acquaintances- which do you choose and why?
Response: The stranger; there is nothing to be said for the ease of understanding versus the effort that should accompany value.
3. Social Insight Prompt
"Wisdom" in three words.
Response: Past experiences learned from.
4. Riddle
What breaks but never falls, and what falls but never breaks?
Response: Day breaks, night falls.
Apply
Eager to delve deeper? Just fill in the application below.
We seek honesty, sharp wit, and genuine wonder.
Philosophy Questions
Little questions that if we knew the answer they would change your life.
Example:
Is the mind the same as the brain, or do we have souls?

The Inquiry Chamber - Rules of thought
All questions are asked. All things considered. Silence is the only real exile.
1. Three Weeks of Inactivity.
If you go dark for three weeks, you are gone from this chamber forever. There is no lurking, because if you are not participating, you are effectively gone.
2. No AI or Google.
No Googling or artificial intelligence. All responses must be your own thoughts and processes. This is a place to purely think.

Challenge #1 – The Beginning of the Trial
Philosophy Question
“If you had the power to get rid of an emotion from mankind forever, which would you choose and what complications would arise?”
Moral Dilemma
You have knowledge that will help one person live but will ruin the image of another who is not guilty at all. Should you share it? Or keep quiet?
Social Insight Prompt
Can you list three words to describe 'fear'?
Riddle
I do not speak but people hear my words. I lack a form but I exist. I can walk without moving. "Who am I?"
