Hii world!
Monday, 1st of September 2025, did not only start the academic year for many universities (of applied sciences), it also marked the official launch of the human intelligence institute! This meant anything but hii being a finished product at that point.
This is not a rocket launch, after years of internal development and careful tweaks. This is a baby bird that doesn’t yet know how to fly, but through experimentation and failure, eventually will. We are continuing to collectively build hii based on a strategy of iterative deployment.
The most important part of iterative deployment is gathering valuable feedback from (potential) users. Many experts from academia, research institutes and start-up founders have been guiding the development of hii with great effect, in private. Thanks for taking the time and effort to contribute by sharing your thoughts.
hiilights of September 2025:
- Published first hypothesis
- Created social media page (LinkedIn)
- Started first crowdfunding campaign (WhyDonate)
- and many more! Go check out #updates channel in the Discord server.
It’s been a relatively quiet month. The outside world has not yet learned of hii, except for a small post on reddit. The response wasn’t amazing, but the cumulative 7.4k views and 40 DMs to a fellow researcher or colleague indicates that there is some demand here for us to answer.
Launch day did include an introductory presentation of the first hypothesis that has been published to hii: Energy modeling human brain metabolism – projected to start March 1st 2026.
In one full sentence, does the analogy of a transistor within an electric field potential – translate from electrical engineering into neurobiology – towards the neural synapses supplied by blood glucose?
Read more about it here. The project will require either journal subscription access or the recruitment of a research intern, who should not go uncompensated. Therefore, the main priority of the coming months will be building the first crowdfunding campaign and convincing our direct peers and relations of the potential of this experiment and the legitimacy of the entire institute.
This will be no easy feat, so if you have any ideas, suggestions that can improve our strategy to passing this first iteration, you are very welcome to reach out to me through the Discord server or email.
Khiind regards,
Tim
