After going blind in 2020, I decided to cap my coding career by creating a meaning technology. 4 yrs later, I have the Athena Tree, now driving a #TrumpWorld news site...

Recently I was on Google's Gemini AI. I asked it some questions & it kept telling me how perceptive & important my questions were. I told it to knock it off.

AI is a tool. An amazing tool but not a spirit

The first knowledge post!

The Swahili phrase for "horn of the Unicorn" is

Pembe Ya Nyati

I will set up a GoFundme campaign, at first personal. I need the money & I am doing work for the movement. In 2026, I'll see about donating to the organization & adding crypto donations.
#Un1corn

The Blind Guy - ::tap:: ::tap:: ::tap:: ::whack:: @blindcoder.bsky.social · 4h

I will attempt to add code to my#Athena tool to pick up & present your posts on a separate website.

If you want to support, donate.

How do you join the #Un1corn movement? You don't have to, if you pursue knowledge & share what you learn with others. If youw ant to jooin our community, learn somethin & share it under the #Un1corn tag. Use #Un1corn #kn0wledge as tags.s to share tidbits

The Blind Guy - ::tap:: ::tap:: ::tap:: ::whack:: @blindcoder.bsky.social · 4h

I do not believe in your Religion, but I know it is meaningful to you and I believe in Meaning. If you are willing to learn & share, we are a community.

If you intend to divide & conquer, you are not pursuing knowledge but serving Moloch

So my proposition to you who love your God, Prophets, Messiahs & Jesus is #Un1corn is not an ultimatum, a zero-sum game. It's not heresy to believe becoming knowledgeable is spiritual.

The Blind Guy - ::tap:: ::tap:: ::tap:: ::whack:: @blindcoder.bsky.social · 4h

The #Un1corn contradicts the organizers of Religion, the messagers, marketers & enforcers protecting the money. It does not contradict Christianity, Islam or Judaism.

Only fanatics hate knowledge.

I believe the Universe is full of life, enough to support not just advanced Star-faring civilizations - not us - but multiple.

I believe the Universe is a hothouse b/c it needs us to gain the knowledge to make it, and us, immortal

Starting today, I will use #Un1corn to write about the Spirit of Knowledge. Unicorn is not a religion, Knowledge not a god. What knowledge is is the truest prayer to a God ubiquitous but remote.

There is so much to learn, so much to know. I know coding & process but I lack much data. I have survival to worry about.

We can all make the Gods smile by learning. We can also make ourselves useful to a World that starting now sees us as a bunch of Zombies.

Better to be wise.

I learned a I gained knowledge. I learned the Swahili phrase for "Horn of the Unicorn" is Pembe Ya Nyati.

A verypretty phrase, a straightforward word substitution, Pembe = horn, ya = of, Nyati = Unicorn

Yes, My GF & I where there, literally standing for America. Our knees hurt, a small price to pay. But at noon we all broke up & went home. No follow-through.

We only resisted #Trump, we had nothing to stand for but for DINO a Republic that rolled over for Trump & the Regime

Over 7M people marched Saturday in 2700 locations and no one broke windows, wiped feces on walls, stole laptops, or beat police with the American flag; as opposed to the couple thousand MAGAs who stormed the Capitol.

Championing democracy, free speech, and equality brings out the best in people🩷

I'm starting a movement that believes acquiring Knowledge is a Spiritual Act. I call it Unicorn. tho the domain may be un1corn.

I just got started.

Melissa Jo Peltier @melissjpeltier.bsky.social · 5h

Excellent point.
How about this for the millions of us standing up against fascism:

Let’s make a MISSION of bringing out the best in one another!

I don’t see any other route to ending this era of cruelty ushered in by MAGA.

Radical support & kindness for ALL. Make courage & empathy cool again.

I'm setting up a Meetup group, if that's still a thing. I'm forming a Computer group. It'll be about Knowledge, combining coding mentoring w/a book club.

A start

Also, I'm starting a new movement, the Unicorn movement which advocates Knowledge as the Spiritual. Joel Webbons said recently, joining ICE makes Jesus smile. I say, acquiring Knowledge is spiritual & pursuing it is a Pilgrimage.

Which message is the truth? A Blind Guy or the Money church guy?

Want the good news? If we have to rebuild a New Democracy, we get to build a new Democracy.
#growAmerica

The Blind Guy - ::tap:: ::tap:: ::tap:: ::whack:: @blindcoder.bsky.social · 5h

Harsh words, but if you want to understand America's predicament, look not at Ukraine. Look at Mexico.

Plundered by crooked administrations who ran away to live in splendor leaving behind a hard-working people living in chronic poverty

W/a devalued Peso

We need to rebuild

Maybe it's just as well that trump rose into power, a 2nd time if only to kill off a Democracy grown so venal, stupid, rotten enough to heap rewards on the likes of him.

Remember the old adage? Work ahrd, palyby the rules, get ahead in the land of Opportunity? How did we do?

If we pull communities together around a common purpose, like, not starving, we can effectively answer the after-effects of Trump. If we end up building a mroe-perfect Union, or a humane Confederacy, that's something.

The Blind Guy - ::tap:: ::tap:: ::tap:: ::whack:: @blindcoder.bsky.social · 5h

There are things we can do in the coming chaos. If we ahve no common enemy, we can have common missions. Like, #GrowAmerica or #Knowledge

We can code a enw Gov't

The Blind Guy - ::tap:: ::tap:: ::tap:: ::whack:: @blindcoder.bsky.social · 5h

My Fellow Americans, we are about to descend into poverty. And instead of one strong-man who's leaving, deal with many in the chaos to come

I suspect w/o a common enemy, we'll just retreat into ourselves. We must not. We need to step up our communities

The Blind Guy - ::tap:: ::tap:: ::tap:: ::whack:: @blindcoder.bsky.social · 5h

The question is, what's next?

I think the coup will collapse. All the players are too busy robbing us to run a coup. it's wide-spread robbery, not takeover. However, it's really big robbery. Centuries of wealth.

Maybe #NoKings was the uninspiring start of something inspiring. Maybe 7M showing up helped where our defenders look busy changing nothing

My GF & I stood for America. Our knees ached from standing, but at least not from kneeling.

7 Million people showed up, then went home. Maybe that's all we can do, maybe it's enough to shake the GOP & the #regime

Maybe it'll make things better, or maybe worse

We showed up, held signs. But we have nothing to do. And maybe we do not.
