THE IDH STORY: #BURSTTHEBUBBLE

chap 1: disinformation & digital division

Nothing encapsulates the IDH's capabilities in disinformation war better than the pandemic.

We are survivors of post-digital civic collapse.

This movie is not survivable on a national scale.

But here's what we did to help keep people safe, alive, and sane in our community. HOSTED A BIPARTISAN TOWN HALL W/ ELECTED OFFICIALS ON COVID and SURVEILLANCE HELD AN INTERNATIONAL JURIED ART EXHIBITION and CIVIC FORUM that brought "both sides" together to talk about mental health and quarantine RAN AN EMERGENCY CROSS-CULTURAL JOURNALISM/DISINFORMATION FIGHTING NETWORK (TO TRIANGULATE WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN OUR CITY/WITH PUBLIC HEALTH) MUTUAL AID NETWORKS FOR PARTNERS (INCLUDING FOOD BANKS) TURNED OUR ZOOM CLASSES INTO A DOCUMENTARY/PODCAST ON THE INFODEMIC and POSTMODERNISM

Dr. McKain's Elevator Pitch

THE FIRST AMENDMENT and HIGHER ED REFORM

I started an internationally-recognized free speech art collective at one of the "wokest" schools in the country

and then became an "echo chamber diversity hire" at a Bible College to teach kids on the other side of reality how to build a Manhattan Project.

I'VE LAUNCHED THREE START UPS

To prove my teams of students and top world experts could fix higher ed, AI, and post-digital
America.

And the last crew almost pulled it off, except we live in Minneapolis, some jerk tried to shoot me, and all hell broke loose.

PR and FIXING OUR POLITICAL DIVISIONS

I was a speechwriter for Time's University President of the Year.

And, as a grad student,
co-built the first nationally scalable multi-campus disinformation fighting platform
(w/ a Fortune 500
in 2007).

AI I DISINFORMATION I PRIVACY I FREE SPEECH

I have an interdisciplinary phd (and law degree) in putting out the dumpster fire collision of

technology,
Constitutional law,
American democracy, postmodernism,
and post-AI
politics and education.

IDH STORY: STOPACTINGLIKEROBOTS

chapter three: free speech vs. hate speech

Since everything the IDH does is rooted in the First Amendment and free speech (literally: every class, talk, paper, and civic initiative)

it's hard to separate this one out.

IDH TV: FREE SPEECH and ONLINE VIOLENCE

Chapter 3 Footage What sets the IDH apart is that ALL of our methodologies (AI, disinfo, and privacy) -- and ALL of our classes -- are based around the First Amendment AND we use it in our art exhibitions (which put people programmed to disagree into aesthetic dialogue). so the irony of artist Xavier MacFarland (and us) being censored by FBs algorithm (for an artwork ABOUT algorithmic censorship and by a non-white artist AND at an international event co-sponsored by ACLU MN) is not lost on us. And we and create civic deliberation forums (and systems of precedents) to keep track of free speech versus cancel culture (Like a court.) Then we crowdsource those 'judgement" as educational materials or governance systems (for schools or platforms) And we are particularly good at defending comedians (and have used whatever comedian is on the news as the basis of our classes for 20 years)

CHAPTER FIVE: PURGATORY (FEB 2023 - SEPT 6, 2025)

The IDH has been free agents since Sept 2023. All we've needed to rescale and get our solutions to America is a website, email, and no pass interference.

It should have taken two months and $5k, which is why I kind ally scheduled us in a very important room to get us back on track.

30 months later, it cost us $50k, hundreds of opportunities, and jeopardized this 20 year project, the existence of these students' brave and important work, and Dr. McKain's life. (And cost him his records and amps, he might be saltier about that, honestly.)

But we are still standing.
