Thank You To Our Partners,
Students, Clients, and Allies
For proving all Americans can still come together to fix the technology that is dividing us.
Thank you to our clients, partners, and allies for putting differences aside and to fight for everyone's post-AI humanity.
ONE SIMPLE, HOLISTIC, AND NON-PARTISAN "META-METHOD" FOR THE WHOLE COMPLICATED MESS.
TEACHABLE TO ANYONE. USEABLE ACROSS ALL INDUSTRIES AND ACADEMIC DISCIPLINES
ABLE TO NETWORK AND "ALIGN" STATES, COMPAINES, SCHOOOLS, AND COMMUNITIES.
AND AS A BONUS:
IT FIXES THE COLLEGES AND BRINGS DIVIDED AMERICANS BACK TOGETHER.
A 20 YEARS PROVEN & NON PARTISAN SOLUTION TO WIN THE 21ST CENTURY
-
The punchline?
We were 20 years ahead because we initially used comedians for our models.
The plot twist?
We're using a 2,000 year old solution that is dead neutral, all the nerds already agreed on in the 2000s, and is the DNA of the Constitution and what constitutes the human.
And to keep the IP/brand pure,
we kept all the tainted money and agendas (both sides) out of it.
THE 'FLUX CAPACITOR' IS WHAT WE CALLL ALL OF OUR (20 YEARS) OF RESEARCH AND IP. IT'S THE STUFF THAT LET'S US DO ITEMS 1-5.
OR IN POP CULTURE SPEAK: IT LET US FIND THE INFINITY STONES, CONNECT THEM, BUILD THE BATMOBILES, AND THEN CONNECT THOSE.
AND YOU CAN TEACH ANYONE -- K-CEO -- TO USE THE FLUX CAPACITOR AND THUS 'DRIVE' THE BATMOBILES/USE THE INFINITY STONES. IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF SPEED AND SCALE.
#1: x Y AND z
WE HAD TO GRAB ALL THE INIFITY STONES. OUR AWARD WINNING RESEARCH -- PLUS PHASES ONE AND TWO OF THE MANHATTAN PROJECT AND DR. M'S RESEARCH -- IS THE PROOF FOR THIS, PLUS OUR VICTORIES FOR EACH "STONE'
SINCE WE WERE EMBARGOED -- AND DR. M WAS HALF BLIND FOR A BIT -- THIS WAS A PAIN IN THE ASS, BUT WE GOT IT (AND HAVE NERDS STANDING BY TO HELP US PUBLISH THE REST FAST).

WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD (PART ONE)
EVERYONE IS "FIXING," ALIGNING, and GOVERNING AI EXACTLY BACKWARDS.
AI, disinformation, privacy, and free speech are a complex ecosystem of code, culture, and Constitutional law. Whoever "aligns" it all correctly and first wins the 21st century and re-balances AI and humanity.
We're using a 2,000 year old, dead neutral method the nerds already agreed to in the 2000s, was programmed into the Constitution 200 years ago, and is what scientifically puts the "human" in humanity. Those are facts.
It's the only dead neutral "ground wire" that holds reality, Constitutional rights (plus law itself), democracy, and the sum total of human knowledge together. The other options are religion or particular philosophers but (b) that's techno tyranny; (b) but they don't work for all of this mess: AI affects everything; (c) the correct system also accomodates all regions and philosophies (or none). Ours is correct.
Plus it fixes the colleges (since they helped cause this mess: The DEI vs. Free Speech crisis is only a symptom of the larger problem: Algorithmic/fundamentalist logic contaminating human affairs and sacrificing reason and judgment).
And re-empowers the citizens caught in the middle.
ANY VIABLE MANHATTAN PROJECT HAS TO DO/BE THESE VERY TRICKY THINGS
#1 One simple, holistic method for AI, disinformation, privacy, and free speech
#2 Bipartisan, non-ideological, Constitutional, innovation-friendly
#3 Teachable to anyone
#4 Scalable and usable across industries
#5 Able to re-connect citizens, governments, schools, and companies
#1 ONE SIMPLE, CONSTITUTIONAL, and HOLISTIC META-METHOD

#2 BIPARTISAN, NON-IDEOLOGICAL, INNOVATION-FRIENDLY
Thank You To Our Partners,
Students, Clients, and Allies
For proving all Americans can still come together to fix the technology that is dividing us.
WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD (PART TWO)
-
THE "ENGINE" WAS DESIGNED
to launch, power, and run
a new hybrid:
ACLU/FIRE,
non-partisan Brookings Institute (attached to a law school),
cross-cultural PBS-y local news thing,
PAC / political PR firm,
ed tech start up
(or online university),reality show/podcast,
and international art troll farm. -
WE ALREADY DID/PILOTED/DEMOED
all that for the third time in 15 years (and had the ear of national/global players)
under wartime conditions in Minneapolis (for $150k)
before the bullet, Floyd, and the Evangelicals' going broke
shut it down.Think about the $500m the DNC spent and what a dozen minimally paid kids and handful of unpaid grownups did in 3ish years by properly showrunning hundreds of volunteers, experts, lawyers, students, teachers, and artists from both sides of reality.
-
WE CAN SHOWRUN/TEACH IT ALL AS A "PODCAST"
WHICH IS A SILLY TERM
for an interactive K-law school curriculum,
the AI governance system every school/governor would murder for,
and the multi-platform, cross-industry civic / cultural mobilization apparatus one team still doesn't understand is possible and the other team
is already doing.
#3 TEACHABLE TO ANYONE
Interactive, experiential,
and non-ideological AI ethics
and post-digital civics education.
CURRICULUM:
K-12 / COLLEGE / GRAD / LAW
Training students how to be AI ethics and policy leaders
in the race to win the 21st century
(and fight for post-digital humanity).
PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOPS
SCHOOLS / POLICYMAKERS / ADVOCATES /
COMPANIES / STUDENTS
Training any/all professionals or citizen groups
how to be AI ethics and policy leaders.
PLUG and PLAY PLATFORMS
CONNECTING DIVERSE VOICES ACROSS CAMPUSES
AND THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
Connecting classrooms and colleges
across the political and cultural divide.
#4 SCALABLE and USABLE ACROSS INDUSTRIES
STRATEGIC PR, MEDIA CAMPAIGNS,
and CROSS-CULTURAL COALITION BUILDING
Translating digital ethics’ complexities
into a language your grandma would understand
Triangulating bipartisan multi-faith
and cross-cultural coalitions and agreements
CIVIC FORUMS and COMMUNITY EDUCATION
EVERYONE ACTUALLY WELCOME
Designed to catalyze allegedly impossible
cross-cultural conversations,
curate community voices,
and protect our most vulnerable
post-digital citizens.
