You are right, we can not capture a messy and complicated human being. Therefore we tried our best to frame it right with the “Echo“ and disclaimer. We have the fact check sheets to show what is recreated and what the facts are. We also have the shadow section in the fact check sheets to show that these humans were messy, but tried to portray them inside the platform for what they gave to the world, all under the objective to make hard accessible wisdom / philosophy more accessible, as a doorway, that people outgrow us and move from our introduction to primary texts and human teachers.

I think "echo" is a fine word to use, they're hardly calling them "reincarnations".

Thank you.

Thank you. Hesse would be a great fit, especially as our nonprofit is based in Germany. We plan to add more figures in the future, but the plan is to let the community decide which gets added next.

Thanks. I put 3 years of my life to build it, founded a nonprofit, so it is more than an experiment. In regards of business, it stays nonprofit, no investors, no exit. We will provide free messages and we will continue running our gpu servers in the long run. Our goal is to make wisdom and philosophy accessible. What will change in the next 6 to 12 months is that the complete content will transition to CC-BY 4.0. The plan is also that the development is community driven, user who engage earn voting power to vote for the next features.
