User charter

Why a charter ?

To ensure a stimulating, respectful space open to the diversity of ideas, it is essential to define a clear framework. This charter outlines the principles that guide interactions within PAROXIA, and protects what makes it valuable: intellectual freedom, rigor, and mutual respect.

PAROXIA – Intelligence Beyond the Human

We do not seek final answers. We cultivate fertile questions.
The PAROXIA space is a shared thinking space focused on the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. It welcomes all perspectives — scientific, philosophical, poetic, or speculative — provided they are expressed with respect for others and intellectual rigor.
We recognize that ideas may explode — but never people.

FOUNDING PRINCIPLES

  1. Open-mindedness
  • Every idea may be questioned, discussed, or rephrased.
  • No position is considered untouchable — not even ours.
  1. Respect for individuals
  • No statement should target or discredit anyone ad hominem.
  • Criticism is directed at ideas, never at the people expressing them.
  1. Reasoned discourse
  • Every opinion should be supported by reasoning, a source, a lived experience, or an articulated intuition.
  • Disagreement is welcome, provided it remains constructive.
  1. Collective responsibility
  • Everyone helps maintain an atmosphere conducive to reflection.
  • Freedom of expression is exercised with awareness of its impact.
  1. Shared creativity
  • Paroxia values cross-disciplinary approaches, divergent thinking, and unexpected alliances between fields.
  • Intellectual experimentation is encouraged.
