Palinode is a philosophical technology collective spearheading the creation of innovative products, academic courses and philosophical events, while producing media rooted in the exploration of ideas and philosophical tradition.
In a landscape dominated by algorithmic optimization and endless engagement loops, we offer an alternative: technologies and approaches that don’t flatten thought and are capable of mediating nuance instead of eradicating it, reward intellectual risk, and invite users to think differently. Our name, Palinode, evokes a poetic retraction: a turning back to revise, not regress.
Our mission is to cultivate more meaningful relationships and deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us through philosophical engagement.

We believe in the democratisation of knowledge and that everyone can benefit from engagement with philosophical thought.
Our Values
Our Values
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.
Anti-Generative AI Ethos
We resist “content for content’s sake” and design against the frictionless automation of culture, insisting that tools should deepen human agency, not dissolve it.

Deep Philosophy
We are committed to creating spaces, encounters and experiences that are transformative, not just informational. Stimulate philosophical wonder, inspire learning, and promote an inquisitive but still critically reflective life – that’s the goal.

Collective Intelligence
We see machine learning technologies, not as either inherently threatening or salvific artificial entities, but as partners that have shaped and shaped us. The task then is to produce more dynamic and healthy humane-machine networks that reinforce the best in our communities.

Holistic and Diverse Social-Ecology
We treat the web as a social ecology, shaped all too often by corporate interests driven by extractive capitalism and the production of docile consumerist subjects. By contrast, we envisage a space that is conducive to a more creative, less homogeneous, more ethically responsible mode of engagement; in short an environment which embraces diversity, intellectual innovation, and imaginal thinking.
