<div><strong>Anyone feel like fixing AI (and trying to stop civil war) in the most 80s movie way possible?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thought so.  Buckle up.  Quick receipts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Press:</strong> CBS, NBC, Forbes, Human Lawyer, SXSW EDU
</li>
<li><strong>Partners: </strong>DNC→RNC + Christian, Muslim, and Jewish orgs/leaders (ACLU, ADL, Netflix’s Coded Bias, Assemblies of God, Big 10s, Bible/woke colleges, Bar Assocs, etc)

<div><br />
</div>
<div>IDH = Phase 3 of a 20-year “Manhattan Project” w/ top experts and 1000s of students, artists, teachers, lawyers, policymakers, and volunteers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>We fix</strong> AI, disinformation, privacy, free speech, &amp; colleges.
</li>
<li><strong>One simple, bipartisan method </strong>that can be taught K-CEO, used/scaled across all industries and academic disciplines, and has proven to be able to reunite divided Americans.
</li>
<li><strong>We lapped</strong> the Big Dogs (and Ivies) in wartime conditions for $300k from 2019-23.
</li>
<li><strong>With “impossible” partnerships</strong> across the religious/political division.
</li>
<li>As homework, to be trolls.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Urgency:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>We are (literally) the only proven option left.
</li>
<li>This is the thing the states/feds/Silicon are looking for.
</li>
<li>We got caught in Minneapolis chaos x2 + NDAs.
</li>
<li>AI already went rogue. Civil war is imminent.
</li>
<li>Everyone needs us off the bench ASAP.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The ask/jam:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Just climbed out: Liquidated everything to keep the IP pure.
</li>
<li>No one paid since '23. About to lose this option.
</li>
<li>We have the press and elected ppl's attention
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Regular working folks:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>We need $5-6k to buy us 2 wks
</li>
<li>Need our staff back, sites on, email on, database out of the pawnshop.
</li>
<li>We just need one news cycle and top donors will bite.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Ppl with money</strong>:
</div>
<ul>
<li>At $25k we start podcasting
</li>
<li>Actual staff rehiring once we hit $50k.
</li>
<li>Re-scaling is going to take actual money: $250k to start
</li>
<li>ROI is nuts

<div><strong>The Story</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 2018 – when Dr Aaron McKain “crossed the filter bubble” and became an “echo chamber diversity hire" at a MAGA Bible college in Minneapolis (until '23) – the student &amp; expert-founded Institute for Digital Humanity has been a “unicorn”:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>"Impossible" coalitions</strong> w/ orgs programmed to hate each other.
</li>
<li><strong>Award-winning bipartisan</strong> AI and privacy solutions.
</li>
<li>Proven fixes for <strong>censorship &amp; the college free speech crisis</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Disinformation-fighting </strong>networks to reunite divided citizens
</li>
<li>Running laps around our allies for <strong>pennies on the dollar.</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHY WE'RE THE LAST MANHATTAN PROJECT STANDING</strong>
</div>
<div>Five obvious criteria. 20 yr head start.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>One holistic method </strong>for the whole mess: AI, disinfo, privacy, and free speech.
</li>
<li><strong>Dead neutral</strong> and 100% Constitutional: The upside of the “correct” solution.
</li>
<li><strong>Teachable to anyone:</strong> K-CEO plus all citizens.
</li>
<li><strong>Useable across</strong> all industries and immediately nationally scalable (for the 3rd time).
</li>
<li><strong>Able to reunite </strong>divided Americans.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One look under the hood shows why even AI (fwiw) – and any expert that looks – knows we’re the “Last Manhattan Project Standing.”
