Please click View Post. Follow these people & donate to them if you can. If you are reading this, hopefully you have donated $20 or more to me. You will receive Athena briefs as long as they exist with my gratitude & deep hope that you too take on the pursuit of wisdom.
Why these stories?
Independent Journalists & Activists wrote these stories on Blue Sky. I ran a script to fetch them, then read them all, adding and assigning parents in 2 tag-sets, one for concept and one for names. Then, I run a 3-step process – corpus, nexus & lexus. Corpus auto-tags & adds parent tags to posts. Nexus counts tags, identify tag blusers which are turned into trees and descriptive tags for trees called tag memes. Lexus renders data into HTML to be used for the ASTRA browsing tool & 2 Newsletters. The Newsletters shows posts whose tags match the tree memes.
We have 2 Newsletters: Athena ContextAthena Gist. The first shows each Tree’s main topic & memes, and their featured posts. It’s massive and cannot be sent by email. The Athena Gist just shows a single set of all featured posts and can be sent by email.
The unusual stories are due to the writers. The main concepts are those I added to the tag sets as contextual catchers. What stories you see and under what features is the technology.
Is this useful, meaningful? That is up to you. If you think I am on to something, help support Athena.
My Short Story
After 25 years advance notice, I went blind in 2020 from Retinitis Pigmentosa. Amidst other dire catastrophes, I made 2 life-changing decisions. I would pursue Wisdom since my foolishness had led me to disaster. And I would build a Meaning technology I would eventually call Athena Trees.
May in your meanders you find meaning. May in meaning you meander.
