The round one, thinking

A tool for doing philosophy, et al.

Bring a subject - anything that is bothering you - and three people argue about it until a mechanism falls out. Ricky brings the enthusiasm, Steve names the pattern, and Karl asks the question everyone else was avoiding.

How it works

You write for free. Pick a subject or invent one, set the dials, and press MAKE - the dialogue streams onto the page, and every line of it is yours to edit, by hand or by talking it over. Nothing about writing ever costs anything.

RECORD is the part that costs credits: the three of them read the finished script aloud, each in their own cloned voice, on a machine we own. A short episode is one credit, the full length two, a long one three - and a credit is only ever spent after the audio is actually made. A render that fails costs nothing.

The name

Rotundus cogitans is Latin: rotundus, round; cogitans, thinking. The round one, thinking. The three tiles in the mark are the three of them, mid-sentence.

Who made it

A very small operation that believes an argument is a machine for finding out what you actually think, and that the best philosophy sounds like people talking.
