Reclaiming the future of thought.
Palinode is a philosophical technology initiative designing digital spaces for reflection, dialogue, and creative becoming. In a landscape dominated by algorithmic optimization and endless engagement loops, we offer an alternative: technologies that amplify perplexity, reward intellectual risk, and invite users to think differently. Our name evokes a poetic retraction: a turning back to revise, not regress. We build frameworks, platforms, and protocols that reject passive consumption in favor of participatory meaning-making.
Our flagship project, Khora, exemplifies this ethos: a digital symposium where disagreement generates insight, and identity emerges through dialogue. Palinode invites technologists, artists, and thinkers to treat software as a philosophical medium and to imagine architectures of sense that resist automation’s closure. We’re not scaling distraction – we’re seeding a renaissance of thought.

Khora

Khora is our flagship project - a Web-based platform for exploring and experiencing Philosophy. Khora is a threshold for meeting across disciplines and backgrounds, where philosophy, art, science, and technology enter into reciprocal play. Rather than enforcing rigid categories or expert silos, Khora cultivates productive hierarchies: expertise and curiosity inform one another without closing the space.
Khora is currently in active development and will be available soon.
KhoraBlog

The KhoraBlog is a space for deepening philosophical ways of living and thinking in the digital age. Through essays, reflections, and dialogues, we engage with ancient and modern wisdom to navigate an era of rapid transformation.

This podcast is an opportunity for those working on/with Khora to dialogue with leading voices in philosophy, STS studies, economics, politics, and other domains, to grapple with this new terrain. We explore both the potential of these technologies as well as their dangers to enframe us.

We foster media and technology designed to stimulate wonder and critical thought, rather than distract, predict, or dangerously mirror.
