Work in Progress

Pardon the Dust
      The Sapientia Studios Blog is still heavily in progress and will be continuously updated in the coming months until it is ready for full Public release. We understand that most of what we are and what we're doing is fairly obscure and we are working our hardest to bring this up to our envisioned capacity. Consider this site to be undergoing a development phase. Please feel free to follow our social network pages to follow up on our progress and learn more about what we're doing and we'd be more than happy to have people follow-up on the progress of the site as it is updated and provide us with any feedback and/or support to help us move forward. - Sapientia Studios - "Illuminating Philosophy"

A Thought Proposed

An idea, a thought, is one of the, if not most, powerful things in the human world. It is what fuels all conscious action and reaction for better or for worse. Entire empires have stood on the precepts of a single idea formulated into institutional ideologies. The most functional, productive, and practical thing any human can do and does do is think, and think creatively, as in independently, critically. All human understanding is built upon preexisting ideas filtered by falsification or denial and to progress is to introduce new ideas or falsify the old through investigation, criticism, and ultimately reformation by revaluation. Nothing may remain static in a dynamic universe, as the universe will eventually act with destructive or incorporating force to enforce change; the environment dictates the inhabitants. Humanity and the ideas of it are no exception to this principle and being so, must progress in order to succeed evolutionarily. This is an introduction to evolutionary thought, thought which symbiotically formulates and evaluates ideas in an advantage versus disadvantage consequential competition. This is A Thought Proposed.

An Introduction to Sapientia Studios

Sapientia Studios is a not for-profit company consisting of three intertwining sectors; multimedia, research & development, and education. Our ultimate goal as a company is to reintroduce philosophy as a practically significant and central aspect of society through modern means of spreading and developing ideas and information. That being said, Sapientia Studios tries to incorporate philosophy and critical thought in almost everything we do. Currently, each sector is tasked with developing a corresponding core project; “Carpe Diem – The Never Ending Journey”, “The Sapientia Project”, and “A Thought Proposed” respectively. We are a group of inspired, motivated individuals working together progressing towards “Illuminating Philosophy” using “Illuminating Philosophy”. The company itself consists of a network of like-minded and aspiring volunteers whom contribute their time and talents to developing ambitious yet purposeful projects. Sapientia Studios hopes to become a vast network of the bright and talented, coming together to build up something truly amazing by each placing their own unique piece into the puzzle, in turn creating an intellectual hub for learning, innovation, and development of that which others call, “too ambitious”.

Mission Statement

Illuminating Philosophy

Company Values

Creativity & Innovation

“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will.” – George Bernard Shaw

“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” – Albert Einstein

Creativity and innovation lie at the heart of progress and are the driving forces of true discovery. Every individual has their own unique talents, skills and intellectual understanding to bring to the table and by fusing these together unlimited ideas can be born and combined with those of others to form something genuinely groundbreaking.

Passion & Motivation

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” – Harriet Tubman

“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” – Oprah Winfrey

Passion and motivation is what allows us as humans to accomplish the most remarkable of feats and acquire some the most extraordinary physical skills. By pursuing what motivates us intrinsically we find ourselves progressing and developing ourselves as well as the world around us by our chosen means without need for compulsion or compensation.

Loyalty & Commitment

“Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.” – Mario Andretti

“Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.” – Vince Lambardi

Loyalty and commitment come in many different forms but one of the most important is to yourself and your own efforts so that you might never leave something which could be great, unfinished. Similarly important is that within a team because without this collusion progress as a group is impossible as we must avoid undermining others and rather find how we can mutually benefit and support each other and accomplish things in a manner which promotes quality, strength, and longevity.

Cooperation & Respect

“One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.” – Bryant H. McGill

“The most powerful force ever known on this planet is human cooperation - a force for construction and destruction.” – Jonathan Haidt

Cooperation and respect are essential in the formulation of ideas. Most discussions break down and become unproductive for the sole reason that humans are victim to bias and arrogance and argue for the sake of opinion rather than for the synthesis of facts. Only with open minds and attentive ears can we together discover and unravel real knowledge and make true progress as we as individuals only know our own subjective side of truth.
