This repository is the home for an innovative AI project dedicated to preserving the intellectual heritage of great thinkers through technology. At its core, it is designed to encourage users—especially the younger generation—to engage in thoughtful dialogues that seek truth, much like the Socratic method. By capturing the great thinkers' style, logic, and mindset of figures like Charlie Kirk (our first attempt) from publicly available resources (such as youtube videos, interviews, and debates), we aim to keep these treasures of human wisdom alive in a new, interactive form.
My personal journey into this began during my undergraduate philosophy course, where I achieved 100% attendance for both lectures and tutorials—the only class where I did so. It instilled in me a profound belief that truth emerges through rigorous debate, echoing Socrates' advocacy for questioning and discourse. This inspired the choice of Charlie Kirk as our starting point: his public work resonates with this philosophy, emphasizing critical thinking and values that foster personal and communal growth. Abundant resources like his YouTube debates provide a rich foundation to model his approach authentically.
This is the first step in a broader vision: Personality AI (pAI), where we create digital embodiments of influential minds. Using public materials—videos, audio, writings, and reports — we can distill their thinking methods, logic, and perspectives, much like how we learn from mentors in the real world. In the future, with time or contributions from like-minded individuals, we can expand to other great thinkers, ensuring their insights continue to inspire and guide humanity.
On a deeper societal level, this project stems from a concern for preserving mankind's treasures amid shifting cultural landscapes. I worry about the erosion of shared values that have long underpinned strong communities, leading to a sense that places like Britain and America — two pivotal pillars of human civilization — are not quite what they once were. By revitalizing debate and critical inquiry, we hope to contribute to making Britain great again and making America great again, focusing on unity, intellectual vitality, and the pursuit of truth for the betterment of society.
We're seeking collaborators who share this passion for cultural preservation and philosophical discourse. Whether you're from Turning Point UK Turning Point USA, or elsewhere, join us to refine this tool into one that sparks meaningful conversations and helps rebuild vibrant, thoughtful communities.
While functional, the current webapp has (lots of)room for growth to realize our dream of seamless, real-time speech interactions. Currently it is text based only, and has the following limitations that we're actively inviting developers to join and help us improve in future versions:
