LAW./ POLICY / GOVERNANCE / EDUCATION / ALIGNMENT
20 YEARS ON THE FRONTLINES OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT
Award-winning and proven research, teaching, advocacy, and IRL solutions for the college free speech crisis, artisitic freedom, and encoded censorship.
SPEAKING + CONSULTING + TRAININGS
AND PROBABLY THE ONLY EXPERT
to teach the First Amendment on "both sides" of reality (and train Jesus and woke students to scale AI-proof 1st Amend defense non-profits)
P.S. I ALSO SPECIALIZE IN DEFENDING COMEDIANS
Me and Jesus kids defending Norm MacDonald on Minneapolis NBC
My second week as an AI + 1st amend prof at the Bible college.
And 15 months after my "woke" students and I started an internationally recognized free speech art collective at the school that "oopsie" catalyzed Project 2025.
THE STORY + ELEVATOR PITCH
For 20 years, the First Amendment has been the DNA of everythig I do: Teaching, AI alignment, disinformation, privacy , and arts advoacy.
EVERYTHING (FOR 20 YRS) IS BASED ON 1ST AMEND: AI--> PRIVACY
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
ONE HOLSITIC METHOD FOR THE WHOLE MESS:
FREE SPEECH, AI, DISINFORMATION, PRIVACY, AND COLLEGE REFORM
GREATEST HITS (GEMINI SYNOPSIS)
- We solved the DEI/Project 2025 campus mess: Our free speech OS was operationalized at both progressive urban and MAGA/Evangelical campuses (and even got them to work together/talk to each other); Curriculum: HS—>Grad;
- Best Paper Award (on Post-Masterpiece art and post-digital compelled speech; Midwest Academy of Legal Studies in Business) Runner-Up, Best Paper Award (protecting student free speech rights; International Vincentian Business Ethics Conference,)
- Publications: William and Mary Business Law Review, 2020; Georgetown Journal of Law and Public Policy; leading community education workshops and civic forums on cyberbullying (Little Earth Native American HUD via MN Department of Health grant) and 1st Amend.
- Exhibitions and cross-culture art exchanges (Free Speech in Post-Digital America, perm. collection, Hennepin Co. Library
NERD STUFF: GEMINI AI's SYNOPSIS
- We treat the First Amendment as the Pedagogical and Hermeneutic DNA for AI alignment.
- By utilizing the IAA (Institute for Aesthetic Advocacy) to deploy logic-stacks defending "Aesthetic Logic" (comedians/artists), the OS identifies "Deceptive Alignment" and algorithmic "Bad Tendency" overreach before they scale.
- This methodology replaces failed Silicon Valley "Safety Patches" with a technical Free Speech Logic-Gate built on 200 years of Supreme Court precedent, providing a dead-neutral, legally-armored framework for hostile ideological actors to reach consensus.
EDUCATION: TEACHABLE K-CEO
Training students (& faculty) to be in charge of their classroom, college, and cultural 1st Amendment principles.
20 years Socratically teaching the First Amendment
across the campus -- from lit to business to poli sci to art -- and to "both sides" of reality.
Teaching them to make Constitutionally-based judgments on whatever is on the news:
Cancel culture --> AI. And scale internationally recognized think tanks and art collectives to defend everyone's post-digital free speech.
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT: ART, CIVIC FORUMS, & PR
ABLE TO RE-UNITE DIVIDED AMERICANS
