what's under the hood

I started grad school on 9/11 to solve this crisis of code, culture, and Constitutional law.

  • In 2018, I became an "echo chamber diversity hire" at a MAGA Bible college to stop civil war.
     
  • It worked: Got left/right + all religions to partner together on fixing AI and the tech dividing us.  
     
  • Then our city blew up. Twice.

Now even AI knows (fwiw) that our non-partisan non-profit is the "Last Manhattan Project Standing” to align AI, disinfo, privacy, & free speech.
