What is this all about?
Fairly recently, a well-known youtube channel by the name of "Idea Channel" ended after a successful 5-year run. Idea Channel largely focused on exploring the intersection of pop-culture and philosophy in a way that was both entertaining, thought-provoking, and informational. Thus, Idea Project was formed. We intend to follow in Idea Channel's footsteps with a more community-based approach. Anyone is welcome to help write and research our scripts, suggest new episode topics, and otherwise contribute in whatever way they can.
What kind of show is it?
Largely a "talking head" show in the vein of Idea Channel before us, although it's possible that rather than doing single-camera with a host (just like Idea Channel), we may end up using voice-over with images.
How can I help?
To borrow from wikipedia, Be Bold! There's nothing stopping you from jumping into one of our research and discussion threads, and helping out however you see fit. Please try to be constructive and polite, especially if you disagree with someone!

Of course, if you're not the sort to jump right in, you can always introduce yourself on our Discord server, or make a thread in the Introductions board.
It would also be helpful to add yourself to the contact details list, so we know how to get in touch with you if ever need be. No need to use real names if you're not comfortable with that!
We need several types of volunteers:
Or, just chill and talk if you want. We play games online sometimes, and are starting a book club.
Bring some cool ideas, and let's talk.
