Long conversations about minds, machines, and how we decide what to believe.
UpTrust launched with a day of live conversations. Twenty rooms, and one question running through all of them: how do we figure out what to believe, together? The question outlasted the day, so we kept the room open. New conversations appear here first, then live on the platform, where anyone can pick up the thread. Watch them, read them, argue with them. That last part is the point.

“Some customers might just see it as a nicer social network. But if you zoom out, there are a bunch of forces dragging society down, and this is one that's trying to do the opposite at a time when it matters.”

Launch day · February 4, 2026
We don't understand our own minds, we can't agree on reality, we run organizations that consistently become evil by accident, and now we may have built superhuman intelligence but can't figure out how it works. Why not fix all four, in public, in one day?
