What is being built?

A question and answering community.

More to come...

Why questions and answers?

To find and connect with people that think feel and act like you do. The bet is that once you feel understood, you will be ready to understand.

How will this be different?

9takes is a first principles play with some psychology behind it. It will be like a social experiment with the ultimate goal of moving discourse in a positive direction.

Practically speaking we are focused in on building mechanisms that enable thoughtful conversation. Here are a few of them:

• Comments are not visible until you comment, this allows people to give original takes on questions without outside influence.
• Your identity is publicly hidden and privately shared. Everyone is default anonymous but you can message others and optionally reveal what you want. The only thing that identifies you publicly is your Enneagram personality type. If you aren't familiar with the Enneagram there are a slew of blogs to checkout.

Aiming to create magic moments that will feel like:

• A popping group chat 💥
• A deep conversation around the campfire 🔥
• A feeling you get when you just met someone and it is like you have known them your whole life 🍻
