THE STORY + ELEVATOR PITCH
In 2018, I became an "echo chamber diversity hire" at a MAGA Bible college to try to stop civil war save higher ed from itself.
IT WORKED.
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
Then our city blew up. Twice.
HERE'S WHY IT WORKED
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.
THIS IS NOT MY FIRST RODEO: BIBLE SCHOOL STUNT = BUILD #3
THE SECRET SAUCE?
