ABOUT

New to the IDH? Start with our 3 min "trailer video."

We are survivors of post-digital civic collapse in Minneapolis. (And almost lost this unicorn solution for America, fixing AI, repairing our colleges, and stopping civil war.)

The "straight" version of our story made CNN and cops cry (and was fairly traumatic to keep saying).

Now we tell it funny. But this situation is deadly serious.

Want to see the book pitch + whole story?

Thank you to these reporters for recognizing our "unicorn" ability to empower students to bring citizens, religious groups, and politicians together.

Our bench is deceptively deep. And 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.

it's not rocket science: It's Con law + rhetorical theory.

The upside of using a 2,000-year-old method -- already in the DNA of the Constitution and our civic republic --

that the academics agreed was a neutral, interdisciplinary Esperanto 20 years ago.

AND WHY WE CAN GET "BOTH SIDES" (MAGA-->SJW)
+ Christian/Muslim/Jewish leaders and orgs to work together on the tech dividing us.
