About Parallax

Every article you read uses rhetorical techniques. Some are honest — steelmanning an opponent's argument, presenting balanced evidence. Others are manipulative — cherry-picked data, loaded language, false equivalences designed to lead you to a conclusion.

The problem isn't that these techniques exist. The problem is that they're invisible. When you don't see the framing, you can't evaluate the argument on its merits. You're persuaded without knowing you're being persuaded.

Parallax makes the invisible visible.

We built Parallax because we believe informed readers make better decisions. Not by telling you what to think, but by showing you howyou're being asked to think. We detect the techniques, explain them in plain language, offer counterarguments, and point you to primary sources.

Over time, Parallax builds a profile of your information diet — which sources, techniques, and framing patterns dominate what you read. This isn't about blame. It's about awareness.

What we believe

• Transparency over censorship. We never block or filter content. We add context so you can decide for yourself.
• Techniques, not politics. Parallax analyses rhetoric, not ideology. A loaded phrase is a loaded phrase regardless of who said it.
• Your data is yours. Your reading history and analysis results are private. We don't sell data or show ads.
• AI as a tool, not an oracle. Our AI identifies patterns, but the final judgement is always yours. We show confidence levels because no analysis is perfect.
