NON-PARTISAN / NON-PROFIT
IDH is phase 3 of a 20-year "Manhattan Project" -- top experts and 100s of students, teachers, lawyers, artists, & citizens -- to align"(fix) tech and humanity.
It started when Dr. M crossed the filter bubble & became a "diversity hire" at a Bible college 2 try 2 stop civil war.
It worked. Then our city blew up. 2x.
thank you to our partners and allies on "both sides"
for putting differences aside to fix the tech diving us
Our bench is deceptively deep. And our STORY IS BANANAS
NOT OUR FIRST RODEO
Dr. M's teams built the 1st multi-campus disinfo system (in 2005 w/ a Fortune 500 and a Big 10) and a free speech art collective at one of the "wokest" schools in America (2017).
Open Source (Canada) gave us 20 minutes to explain. See that (and all press: CBS, NBC, Forbes, etc) here. Students' made a pocast to tell the sotry
like the Avengers, we assemble when there's a job to do.
On the left and right, our students (which is rad) and team work for + advise the very top echelons of the RNC/DNC, appear in the NYT, and are recognized (by Forbes, SXSW EDU, Bar Associatoins, etc) as international experts.
