Curiosity Died When Algorithms Took Over
Every day, 500 million people share opinions online.
Almost none of them change their minds.
The Problem
Social media turned conversation into performance. Reddit became tribes defending territories. We lost the ability to be curious about why people think differently.
Our Different Path: 9takes is building the anti-echo chamber—where you discover HOW different personalities see the same situation.
Not Another Social Platform—A Curiosity Engine
You Think First, Read Second
Unlike Reddit where you scroll before forming opinions
- • Share YOUR perspective before seeing others
- • No groupthink, no karma farming
- • Just authentic thoughts
Personality Context, Not Identity Politics
Anonymous but with Enneagram type visible
- • Understand WHY someone sees it that way
- • Move from "they're wrong" to "they're different"
- • Context without judgment
Questions That Matter
Real dilemmas, not engagement bait
- • Structured for actual insight
- • Every question becomes a masterclass
- • Learn from diverse perspectives

- The Mission: Build tools that make perspective-taking a learnable skill
- The Vision: A world where curiosity replaces judgment
