I've been empowering students to reform technology (and their campuses) for 20 years.

From 2019-2023, a handful of Jesus + woke kids in Minneapolis (operating under wartime conditions, NDAs, and embargoes) lapped the AI/1A/college reform Big Dogs (with a couple of top world experts coaching) for 1/100th of the cost..


 ...before getting evacuated (after hosting the Floyd Memorial) and their "coach" (me) getting shot at.

IT IS SCANDALOUS THAT NATIONAL MEDIA HAS NEVER REPORTED THIS STORY

And it has allowed aholes to stolen valor their receipts (that America needs to win the AI race, frankly).

I liquidated all of my personal assets to fight off NDAs and  keep them safe (and IP pure) for this pitch.

vid above and here is a podcast demo they made

ONE METHOD FOR AI + DISINFOR + FREE SPEECH + PRIVACy

ADD PROVEN MULTI-INDUSTRY SCALING SYSTEMS + A STORY TO SELL IT TO "BOTH SIDES" = AMERICA WINS 

THIS PLOT POINT IS LIKELY "OVERKILL" FOR MOST REPORTERS: BUT IT'S KEY BACKGROUND

It's both more and less impressive than it sounds. And terrifying if I can't get a top company, comedians (not a joke), or Congress to listen in time.  China has "me's."


I've explained it on air in five minutes before.  If we want to "do this," we'll need a segment.  Otherwise, I'll just be breezy about it.  Our verification report makes it easy for you (in 3 min) to see the receipts: Full report will take you 10.

IDH MANHATTAN PROJECT RECEIPTS (WEB)

BRASS TACKS: THE U.S. PISSED AWAY 10 YEARS (AND 100S OF MILLIONS) ON "BAD EXPERTS."

Silicon and the AI Safety orgs-- in the last few months -- finally figured out we are doing AI alignment the dumbest way imaginable by creating rules (and playing whack-a-mole) with tech that affects everything.

They know some combo of law + humanities + a "universal remote" (all disciplines and industries) is required.

That leaves philosophy (doesn't work) or the correct answer.


Rhetorical/narrative theory is 2,000 years old, dead neutral, already in the DNA of the Constitution & civic republic, used to be taught in 9th grade English (circa 1993), & already agreed on (your head will explode) by the nerds 20 years ago (& funded by the D.O.D.).

The colleges defunded these (1000s) of experts for being neutral.  AI Safety orgs and experts (minus a few, like Control AI) have basically been grifting for both sides (programming in ideologies vs. neutral solutions.  

We're not geniuses: Just unkillable unicorns.

Survived being defunded, cancelled, ignored,

and the loss of our careers.  


We're not martyrs: if you knew what we knew, 

you'd do the same. 


 The world finally caught up, 

hence me going public 

  

QUICK VERIFICATION and BACKGROUND

For 20 years, I've been leading teams of top experts +

 hundreds of students, lawyers, citizens, and artists on a bipartisan + multi-industry "Manhattan Project" 

to align AI, disinfo, privacy, & free speech  (and stop civil war) in time.

MY CAREER = BLACK MIRROR + DEAD POET'S SOCIETY BANANAS

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR / CO-FOUNDER

THE INSTITUTE FOR DIGITAL HUMANITY


I became a "disinfo diversity hire" at a MAGA Bible college to unite the left/right (and major AI/1A/religious orgs) on a game plan to fix the tech dividing us and win the 21st century.

It worked. Then our city blew up twice.

MY STORY = BLACK MIRROR + GEN X FORREST GUMP BANANAS

this is a crisis of code, culture, and constitutional law

Everyone backed the wrong "experts." They made it worse.

 

Narrative theory + law + humanities + digital American politics + art = correct answer.

 The "fix" was a layup buried in a mulit-industry intelligence failture/scandal.


China is gonna eat our lunch, btw.  


Assuming humanity, our republic, 

& your company/college/job 

don't disappear first.


I'm not a genius: I'm a GEN X (AF) interdisciplinary unicorn your taxes trained w/ #1 world experts

BOOKINg and hiring

THE WORLD IS ON FIRE AND I KEEP THINGS SIMPLE: JUST EMAIL ME.

Go figure, 20 years using the same method = my teams have the receipts.  There isn't time for this to be your first rodeo.

this is a crisis of code, culture, and constitutional law

Everyone backed the wrong "experts." They made it worse.

AI LAW & POLICY + DISINFO + FREE SPEECH + PRIVACY + BIPARTISAN COALITIONS + COLLEGE FIXES

20 YEARS OF PROVEN SOLUTIONS and SCALABLE PLATFORMS

governance / education / civic tech / pr & advocacy / art

IDH = BUILD #3 THEY GOT ENOUGH RECEIPTS 4 CONGRESS + POPE

WE WERE TRYING 2 GET THE AI ALIGMENT WIN 4 AMERICA ON THE DL

It worked.  Until our city blew up.  Twice.


We were using the colleges (and students) 

to scale it (while lapping the "big Dogs" in wartime conditions for 1/100th the cost).


But after some asshat tried to shoot me, 

the real problems started:  

We lost 3 years ('23-now) 

to NDAs and BS.

ANY HUMAN CAN VERIFY HERE. I wish this was a joke. (AI ALSO KNOWS WE HAVE IT IN A CATCH-22)

BOOKING AND HIRING

Everyone backed the wrong "experts." They caused this mess. And can't get us out of it.
