Grill Up Yourself a Soul Pancake

Dwight Shrute in a lot of ways stereotypes the quintessential nerd of today (with a farmboy twist), so it was of great interest to me when the actor that portrays said Shrute, Rainn Wilson, developed a website with some friends entitled: Soul Pancake.

It has been around for a few years now. The recipe is fairly simple:

1 Part Intellectual Philosophy Talk

2 Parts Hipster Culture

And mix with postmodern art, nonsense, and talking points that basically dive into every aspect of life. The main goal of the website is to continue to have a “dialogue” and answer the big questions of life. In many ways it’s the modern day equivalent to Ancient Athens, Greece. All walks of life talking about everything under the sun and in many ways not getting anywhere.

If you like philosophy and have a bone to pick or want to dive into the giant sea of questions, answers, and philosophy talk, then feel free to create an account and get started. I got bored after awhile. Not to sound elitist (though I will) when you democratize philosophy so that everyone can be part of the discussion you end up reading 80% drivel, 10% recited answers, and another 10% actually thought provoking arguments. It can get exhausting reading so much crap and stupidity. Just a little warning.
