Reclaiming the future of thought.
Where Deep Philosophy, Thoughtful Tech, and Collective Intelligence Reemerge
Palinode is a philosophical technology collective spearheading the creation of innovative products, academic courses, and creative events, while producing media rooted in the exploration of what it means to be human.

OUR FLAGSHIP PRODUCT
Khora is our revolutionary open source social media and philosophical search engine, powered by machine learning.
Designed to aid the curious in philosophical exploration by connecting concepts, intuitions, arguments, etc., Khora helps you analyze your thoughts, discover connections between particular opinions, and challenge perspectives through engaged debate, while also introducing you to different philosophical traditions and methodologies. The platform personalizes your journey and facilitates self-reflection, challenging you to do more than consume and click.
OUR VISION
Meet the Craftsmen
Get to know the team building a more thoughtful web.
Our initiative is led by philosophers, artists, machine learning engineers, designers, and front end developers united by a shared purpose to rekindle philosophical wonder both within the online network but, more hopeful, in the wilds of the offline.

Production & Programs
Palinode Production is our public-facing studio for rigorous, accessible philosophy and humane-tech inquiry.
Currently, we publish essays in an ongoing series on Substack and develop media that translates our research and experiments into a shared cultural work. Today, our Substack is the primary home for this writing; next, we are expanding into a fuller production slate: podcasts, interviews, Jam Sessions, short courses, and live programs. Each piece of content, be it an Instagram Reel or a demanding essay will be built with an eye toward creating and sustaining a durable and community-oriented audience for deep learning that can work together in the evolving growth of the Khora platform.
MISSION STATEMENT
In a landscape dominated by algorithmic optimization and endless engagement loops, we offer an alternative: technologies that don’t flatten thought
Rather, we believe that tech is capable of mediating nuance instead of eradicating it. Just imagine working with an algorithm that rewards intellectual risk, invites us to think differently and, most importantly, reminds us of the infinite capacity of the human being, of the beauty of our own power to build a world with and for others, even ones with whom we disagree.
