Philosophy Corner

Thought experiments, paradoxes, and questions we debate.

Ship of Theseus

If you replace every plank of a ship, one by one, is it still the same ship? What defines identity over time?

Trolley Problem

Would you pull a lever to divert a trolley, killing one to save five? Utilitarianism vs. deontological ethics.

Simulation Hypothesis

Are we living in a computer simulation? How would we know? Does it matter for how we live?

Existential Absurdity

If life has no inherent meaning, should we create our own or embrace the absurd? Camus vs. Sartre.

Why Choose Us?

A reading collective built for students who want more than just "finishing books".

A Community With Actual Vibes

Not a boring book club. This is where smart, curious students hang out, debate, and grow together.

XP, Tiers & Streaks

Every session gives XP. Level up, maintain streaks, unlock roles & earn visible recognition in the community.

Weekly Themes That Go Deep

Structured weekly dives into philosophy, fiction, essays & real-world ideas — never generic, always intentional.

Personality Growth Without Feeling Forced

Better articulation, sharper thinking, stronger clarity — built naturally through discussion, not lectures.
