Why, why, why?… Hello! Have you contemplated the meaning of life recently? Can’t stop asking questions? Well then, this is the place for you! Welcome to Mars Hill, on the Acropolis of Athens, also known as the Aeropagus! You’re free to ask questions and discuss ideas here. You won’t be judged for being too deep or abstract or idealistic. You can think of this as… the original “safe space.”
After all, we named the city Athens, after Athena, the goddess of wisdom, just so that we could keep this book club going. For two thousand five hundred years, we’ve been sitting around here, asking questions, reading books, and contemplating existence - waiting for Alexandria, so you could join!
