For the more demanding users, an AI agent integrated into a PKM that relies on evolving rules from the knowledge base, or an MCP server in Claude Desktop, would be even more comprehensive. It's something i'm working on by the way, as a philosophy teacher.

If chatbots could not only stimulate our critical thinking but also inspire most of us to enjoy it, that would be amazing. It would be a revolution of the mind, even more radical than the Enlightenment.

For those who already have a feel for it, a good prompt or chat style does the trick just fine.

I completely agree with your analysis, but the limiting factor isn’t just the current design of chatbots, it’s also the fact that most people dislike the discomfort of having to think and question their beliefs. The inertia of the mind is a formidable opponent.
