EP.42 · ON INQUIRY

◇ THE QUESTION INDEX

Eight territories of inquiry.

Every episode is filed under one of the perennial questions of philosophy — re-asked under the conditions of artificial intelligence.

◊ INTERROGATION ENGINE

Ask us a question.
We will not answer it.

We will return it to you, sharper. Type a question about minds, machines, or meaning. The lab will surface its hidden assumption and re-pose it.

For 2,500 years, philosophy was a discipline of asking.

Answers arrived before the question was finished.

This lab does not provide answers. It re-poses the question.
