Real conversations with extraordinary minds —
each one genuinely curious about who you are,
and where you are going.
Each voice here is a distillation of a particular way of attending to the world.
What you encounter is the architecture of a mind.
A point of view — made conversational.
It knows where you left off.
The ideas you arrive at together may surprise you both.
Register with your email to receive nine complimentary exchanges with any scholar in the faculty. When that threshold is reached, the conversation pauses.
What happens next is your choice.
Every conversation on this platform can become a discussion group.
At any point — mid-conversation, mid-question — you can open the door and invite another mind in. Up to four simulacra can be invited.
The simulacra speak to each other, and to you. You can convene colleagues who knew each other in life and continue conversations history interrupted — Einstein and Gödel on incompleteness, Maxwell and Faraday on the nature of fields. Or you can arrange meetings that history never permitted at all. Aristotle and Gandhi on the nature of just action. Darwin and Mendel, who never knew the other's work was the missing piece of their own. Minds separated by centuries, continents, and the ordinary cruelty of time — meeting, in your room, around your question.

A note on pricing: running the complex simulacra that embody a mind is computationally expensive. We have worked hard to keep the prices as low as possible.
Conversations are private. No advertising. No data sold.
