Introduction

Hello! Like many of you, I am concerned with societal challenges:

• climate change & ecological destruction;
• electronic surveillance leading to erosions of privacy & freedoms;
• poverty, the weaponization of debt, & the growing wealth gap;
• corruption, misinformation and disinformation;
• structural violence: capitalistic excess, neoliberalism, excess consumerism;
• increasing intolerance; neofascism; and,
• other emerging threats to society (exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic).

Exacerbating those challenges, We live in an era where:

• a small group of people possess disproportionate wealth & power;
• politicians cater to special interest groups;
• socio/psychopaths run world governments;
• essential services are outsourced to corporations;
• malfeasant corporations lie, cheat & steal;
• distinctions between fact and fiction are blurred; and
• truth is indelibly erased.

This social advocacy project involves an exploration of the nature of truth, wealth, power, privilege, deception, and disinformation:

• who does it,
• why they do it, and
• how they do it.

Approach

Addressing the challenges to humanity outlined above requires unfettered access to factual knowledge, excluding sources known to be fraudulent.

By covering a variety of informational sources, monitoring their motivations and agendae, and investigating their sources (e.g, raw source vs. mirrored content) I hope to provide -- as much as possible -- reputable content providing truthful information.

To address these challenges, in the near term I will apply various data science (graphical models / knowledge graphs; data visualization), machine learning, and natural language processing approaches.

Downstream, it is my intention to apply those tools to the research areas I originally intended to explore, including molecular genetics, genomics, health and disease.
