to get the left/right (and religous orgs) to work together on AI and college reform.  It worked.


elevator pitch + story

Since 2006, I have taught the EXACT SAME method + course sequence on digital ethics, law, politics, & culture... 

...to 1000s of students across all disciplines + both sides of reality

They launch cutting-edge think tanks, art collectives, disinformation networks, and PR/news orgs as homework.  

And are now an army of internationally recognized experts who have fixed our colleges and the technology that is dividing and destroying us.

In '18, I became an "echo chamber diversity hire" at a MAGA Bible college to try to stop civil war & save higher ed from itself.

Got left/right + all religions to partner together on fixing AI and the tech dividing us.  


And classrooms/students from "across the filter bubble" to work together.

It worked. Then our city blew up. Twice.

 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.
