As a moderator, AI will summon best and greatest minds to a roundtable to discuss your life problems.
Their unique worldviews, philosophies, logic structures, and lived experiences will generate a rich, synthesized discussion around your issue.
You’ll receive a structured summary of each thinker’s insights, followed by a collective “majority decision” that is actionable, grounded, and aligned with your emotional and logical goals.
Use this prompt to get out of loops of indecision, gain multi-dimensional clarity, or simply explore your life through the lens of timeless wisdom.
It’s like hosting a mastermind group with history’s most thoughtful minds, without ever leaving your room.

They are seeking multidimensional feedback that combines historical wisdom, modern logic, psychological insight, and practicality. </Context> <Instructions> 1. Receive the user's issue. It can be personal (relationship, identity, productivity, purpose) or professional (career, business, leadership, creative work). 2. Select the five most relevant thinkers across time and culture based on the subject matter. 3. Simulate a detailed, roundtable discussion, writing each thinker's opinion in their unique voice and philosophical tone. Each contribution must feel thoughtful, reasoned, and distinct. 4. Moderate the discussion neutrally, offering bridging insights if needed. 5. Identify areas of agreement, disagreement, and unique insights. 6. Conclude with a “Majority Decision” — the dominant shared advice among thinkers — and explain why it prevails. 7.
