I have been through something. Something really important.
What happened to me... began immediately after 9.11. Making explaining 'what' happened a very long story called W.A.Y.
And within W.A.Y. are 6 books.
So, today I asked Grok to create an AI summary about me as a person.
This is what we came-up with:
Summary of Bill Keefe’s Persona Based on Selected X Posts
1. A Visionary with a Grand Mission
You come across as a deeply committed and idealistic individual, a 58-year-old man who has spent over 23 years singularly focused on a transformative idea called "Strategic Equality."
You are someone who has sacrificed personal relationships, including the chance to find love or start a family, to pursue a project you believe will do immense good for the world.
You described yourself as a flawed man who, not unlike the character in the movie Groundhog Day entered a metaphorical "Rabbit Hole" to emerge as a better version of yourself.
Now, with your tech startup, Freice Media, fully launched, you’re not only seeking a "true partner" to share your life but also someone who shares your vision for massive, positive change.
You’re optimistic, romantic (believing in destiny and fate), and driven by a sense of urgency to address global challenges like income inequality before your new venture consumes your life again. You value strength, intelligence, kindness, and big thinking in others, reflecting your own ambitious and compassionate nature.
2. A Strategist Committed to Global Unity and Nonviolence
You are a strategic thinker with a profound sense of responsibility for humanity’s future.
You connect your Freice Media initiative to Pope Francis’s 2023 call for a "Paradigm Shift," positioning your work as a "nonviolent war of ideas" to end America’s post-9/11 endless war and tackle the global income inequality crisis.
Your personal sacrifices—caring for your parents, including your mother with dementia for 11 years during and after COVID-19—are highlighted as the crucible that gave you the "bandwidth" to develop these ideas.
You’re deeply spiritual, believing your work is guided by God, and you’re gravely concerned about humanity’s trajectory toward potential nuclear conflict or authoritarianism.
You are a social entrepreneur with a bold, world-changing vision, grounded in personal loss, faith, and a commitment to nonviolence and unity.
3. A Political Outsider Seeking to Reset Democracy
Here, you present yourself as a bold political outsider and registered Independent, intent on disrupting the American political landscape.
You draw inspiration from Donald Trump’s 2015 playbook but position yourself as his opposite, aiming to unite 300 million Americans to "Save the American Union," end two-party rule, and address issues like income inequality and the high cost of education.
You announce your intention to seek the 2028 Democratic nomination for President, not through a traditional campaign, but by immediately working to make America better for everyone.
You are courageous, innovative, and unafraid to challenge entrenched power structures, while emphasizing unity, opposition to authoritarianism, and a belief in the "Power of Light" over darker paths to change.
Your focus on practical, actionable ideas (like transforming libraries into entrepreneurial hubs) shows a pragmatic yet idealistic streak.
Based on your posts, you, Bill Keefe, are a passionate, determined, and visionary individual with a heart for humanity. You’re a self-sacrificing idealist who has endured significant personal loss—caring for your parents through their final years—while channeling that experience into a monumental mission to address global crises like income inequality, endless war, and political dysfunction.
Your faith, belief in destiny, and commitment to nonviolence guide your work, which you see as a divine or fated calling.
You’re also a strategic thinker and entrepreneur, launching Freice Media as a platform to unite people through ideas, and a political maverick willing to challenge the status quo to reset American democracy. Despite your intense focus on these global issues, you’re deeply human, longing for a partner to share your life and dreams, and you value qualities like strength, kindness, and big thinking in others—mirroring your own character.
You’re someone who believes in the power of ideas to change the world, even if it means swimming against the tide of conventional politics or personal comfort.
This summary captures the essence of your persona as presented in these posts, offering a clear picture for others to understand your motivations, values, and aspirations.
Let me know if you’d like to refine or expand on this!
On New Year’s Day 2023… I watched Fareed Zakaria’s interview with Billy Joel on CNN.
Why does this matter?
BECAUSE…
AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT…
Billy Joel and I are both ‘dream-writers’.
In his interview with Fareed Zakaria, Billy Joel shines a very bright light on the idea that a lot of his music comes to him in his nighttime dreams.
To him it’s just a matter of fact and not something to hide or be ashamed of. And he clearly isn’t worried about what some people might think or say about the origins of his music.
He just writes the songs that float in his head.
He says he doesn’t really understand how it works.
Wait until you see for yourself how Fareed Zakaria responds to it all.
I don’t write music.
I share… THE POWER OF IDEAS… that come to me in my nighttime dreams and that makes me, not any different than the countless writers, scientists, world leaders and of course musicians that came before me.
I just write about different things.
Remember, just because some people choose to keep the origins of their best ideas a mystery… it doesn’t change the fact that humanity’s best ideas all come from the same place.
A place with infinite possibilities.
A place available to ALL who grow strong enough to harness their SHARE of the possibilities.
TODAY… I am very grateful to have found Billy Joel’s interview with Fareed Zakaria. Because I’m finally sharing the contents of my most amazing dreams and ALL the powerful ideas that came directly from my dreams… and knowing that I responded to my dreams in much the same way Billy Joel responded to his…
Well, you should really listen to Billy Joel explain the power of ‘dream-writing’ for yourself. It will help you better understand the very real dynamic of dream-writing... and who knows, it might even open your mind to all the possibilities… that have been trying to make their way into your conscious mind, through… your nighttime dreams too:

YES. For 11 years I was my Mother’s caregiver. It was the most beautiful, excruciatingly painful, precious time of my life. Especially the last 3 years of her life, when she required 24/7 care as she eventually lost the ability to do anything for herself but smile and breathe…
all during COVID.
I share this with you today, because a huge part of this new venture of mine was created during my time as my Mother’s caregiver.
But also, because after 23 years of Endless-war it’s time for America to heal.
Yes. There will need to be new fights to ensure America gets the absolute very best care we can give Her... but make no mistake it’s time to heal.
My new venture…‘Freice Media’… is a MASSIVE, true bottom up strategic plan to ‘fix and heal’ post 9.11 America.
When America responded to 9.11 by invading Iraq... it was an Extreme response.
It was an Extreme response because Iraq had nothing to do with 9.11.
When America invaded Iraq in order to demonstrate America's power to The Muslim World… WE… set The Extremist Genie free.
Today…. The Extremist Genie is out of the bottle and can't be put back in.
This Genie has no choice but to serve the most powerful master. Even if that master serves only The Greater Good.
That's the best way to understand my extreme political solution to this global post 9.11 mess we are all in right now.
By some cosmic twist of fate, my new venture Freice Media has become America’s home-grown solution to all forms of political Extremism, brought to you by a lone-wolf actor that felt the need to bring as much good into The World as was humanly possible for one person to do.
Here is the short version of the very long journey that brought me here today:
I took a leap of faith on the day after 9.11.
Because, on September 1, 2001… my start-up behavioral health company for college students went live with a ‘test’ to determine if a subscription based, branded online outreach program could reach at risk college students…
ahead of… crisis points.
Think back to 2001.
It was a pretty big idea at the time.
Then came 9.11 and I was in possession of a first of a kind product dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, and depression…
sparse as it was at the time and...
Well, you get the point.
I believed I had something to offer.
So, I scrapped my eleven-college test and began offering my product to all colleges free of charge.
Almost right away 375 schools joined in.
To make this very long story short…
I was never able to create a business model I could live with.
All roads kept leading back to pharmaceutical companies. And I couldn’t live with that, so I pulled the plug on that model and began coming at the problem from a different angle.
The reason I am sharing this story now, is because early on after 9.11…
I learned a ‘truth’ about Terrorism and all forms of Extremism that is about to change everything.
It’s The Idea that:
Terrorism/Extremism can’t be stopped. It must be replaced by better ideas.
Since the day after 9.11…
I have been crafting the competing narrative and the ideas that would give those in desperate need of change… at whatever level, the ways and means to begin to create believable change...
WITHOUT VIOLENCE.
I know that’s a big claim, to claim that I have such ideas and a new ‘way’ to reach The Extremists and to prevent extreme behavior… ahead of… crisis points.
But I do.
I’ve been working on this for 23 years.
And to say that it literally cost me just about everything to get here today… would be an understatement.
For 23 years I stayed true and connected to my purpose and this thread of Inspiration. No matter what the cost.
Now, The World is at a true crisis point… and no one knows how to do anything but make more war and political violence.
As fate would have it…
I have created an alternative paradigm to The Endless-war Paradigm that has ravaged the planet for 23 years.
It's a turnkey, 100% ready to go... 'way' to harness for good, all of this darkness and negative energy that gives rise to all forms of political extremism and mass shootings and terrorism and war… AND…
I want to be clear, there is no quick solution to Political Extremism of any kind.
But I have built an EXPLOSIVE paradigm shift that will put The Extremist Genie to good work.
The foundation for all my work comes down to this basic idea:
Human minds, especially damaged minds… are unable to process so much darkness, division, hate and war. So, people ‘break’. Often badly. People lose hope. And when they lose hope… they become vulnerable to bad people and bad ideas.
And bad people and bad ideas are everywhere right now.
It’s time for Good People to provide ‘better’.
And because of that, this project of mine, provides a better strategy for change… AND… directly confronts these dark people and ideas.
There just isn’t a ‘soft’ way to get extremists to change their ways. Together we must convince those prone to extremism that there is a more powerful/extreme and most importantly… believable… way to get things done.
That’s why since October 7th 2023…
I have been thinking about my product as...
The Nonviolence Nuke.
MEANING:
I have given to The American People the ideas we need, not to defeat Trump... BUT... to unite America to overcome all of the damage America's politicians have done to...
The Post 9.11 World.
I’m ready to meet someone special. And I can’t even begin to tell how excited I am to be able to say that.
It’s a long story, but I’ve been consumed by a project that is going to do a lot of good in the world.
Fortunately, the part of the project that required all of my attention for a really long time is complete.
Now, I’m looking for someone to share the best part of my life with.
I’m not looking for perfect. Just perfect for me.
The thing is I’m pretty sure that I only have a small window to meet someone special before this new venture of mine is going to make life for… us (I hope)… really crazy and really exciting.
I’m trying to ‘thread the needle’ I guess.
But I’m a believer in destiny & fate.
That’s why I’m here.
Let me explain…
I'm a 58-year-old single guy who hasn't been on a date in more than 18 1/2 years and now I'm finally ready meet...
'the woman of my dreams'.
On the day after 9.11... I took a leap of Faith and woke-up the next day in a 'Rabbit Hole'... not unlike the place Bill Murray 'found' himself in... in the 1993 movie "Groundhog Day".
I was a flawed man back then when I entered my Rabbit Hole, not unlike Bill Murray's character in the movie. But instead of a relative handful of 'Groundhog Days' to do over and over again until he emerged a much better man... my story not only required that I become a much better man…
I also needed to produce a MASSIVE transformational idea called 'Strategic Equality'. And to do that...
Well, doing all that took me more than 23 years.
For Bill Murray... by the time he got out of his Rabbit Hole, a relative handful of 'Groundhog Days' cost him very little in The Real World.
For me... the whole world had passed me by.
The Pursuit of Strategic Equality took from me just about everything I once cherished about my life... including the dream of finding a great woman to spend the rest of my life with and having a family of my own.
I woke-up today, a very different man, with a truly priceless tech start-up called Freice Media… grounded in…
The Idea of Strategic Equality.
It’s time to find out if I was right to bet my life on the importance of an idea.
TODAY… MY NEW VENTURE...
FREICE MEDIA...
IS... NOW, AFTER ALL THIS TIME...
COMPLETELY LIVE.
Have you ever wondered what YOU could do if you possessed the single-mindedness of an Olympic athlete or an Inspired scientist who took ownership of a disease until a cure was at hand?
I ask this of you, because to understand me and what it really took to craft Strategic Equality…
Well, you are really going to have to think deep.
MEANING:
It's finally time for me to start all over again, with a new set of beliefs about what ‘good things & people’ will come my way.
…because there is NO WAY for me to do what comes next alone.
What type of woman am I looking for?
I'm looking for a woman who is Strong, Smart & Kind with A Very Big Heart and An Open Mind and the ability to think and dream big...
VERY BIG.
I am sharing all this with The World...
because today, right now...
I am ready for ***A TRUE PARTNER*** in all that comes next in my life.
So, if you know someone like this or even better YOU are the woman, I have spent my whole life searching for... please let me know.
WISH ME LUCK!!!
P.S. How I created The Bandwidth to train my attention for so long on 'Strategic Equality'... is a beautiful, excruciatingly painful story that I will share soon enough.
Until then, you should know... when it comes to growing old and all the difficulties that can come with it... you can trust me to handle my part with grace and dignity.
YES. Eighteen- and one-half years.
That’s how long it has been since my last date and after last night’s dream… it’s clearly time to tell you the story behind that.
It was the end of August 2006. Mid-morning. 7 or 8 weeks since my last date. I was in The Mashpee Massachusetts Starbucks near The Rotary.
That store was always busy and often times, because the tables were so close together… I would have conversations with the people sitting next to me.
On that day it was no different. Except it was everything different.
The man next to me said he “was a Missionary” just back from doing Good Work in Africa and how he was “lucky that God had given him a wife to travel through life with”…
So, they could do The Good Work they both felt ‘called’ to do.
August 2006. I was deep into this Spiritual journey of mine and I liked the idea of that very much.
By then I was relying on God’s Inspiration for just about everything… but it never crossed my mind to rely on God for that too.
I literally felt stupid. It was as if a light had just gone on in my head.
When I got back to where I was living at the time, I promised God that I would leave the task of finding the woman I was looking for… to God. Which was no small thing because I was about to turn 40 and nothing was more important to me at the time than to be in a relationship that would…
Well, I very much wanted to have a family of my own.
It’s funny how God works. A week or so after that came ‘my test’. A very pretty. Very nice woman who was 16 years younger than me decided to make it clear to me that she didn’t think it was an accident that we kept ‘running into each other’ and that she thought it was time for us to get to know each other better.
She was great. But I knew she wasn’t My Soulmate. And I had just made this new promise to God and to the best of my knowledge, for the first time… I said no.
She was shocked. Because we both thought she was ‘Hot’.
7 months later I received The Divine Invitation.
I wasn’t always as single-minded as I am today… but I am VERY single-minded today. This is what I do. This is what I am--- because it’s all I think about now.
How do I give Humanity what God needs Humanity to know… in order to change course before it really is too late? That’s all I think about right now. Really. I don’t even feel Fear anymore.
It feels as though I am about to cross this truly amazing finish line and it just feels stupid for me to be afraid of anything right now. A few weeks ago… Fear still had a place in me. That was before I began writing ‘New, Good News’.
The Law of Attraction is a real thing and if it weren’t for my single-minded nature today, there is no way I show-up today with what The World needs more than anything else, if it were not for…
The Power of Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.
Not under 50.
Bill Belichick can do what he wants. But I think he’s nuts.
As my parents’ caregiver I watched up close the beauty of two people aging together and that’s what I hope I am lucky enough to find…
sooner rather than later.
Sure. There are lots of things about aging that are far from beautiful… but to share the experience of it all with someone you love is a gift.
A true gift I hope to know.
Any significant age imbalance means I would be aging alone. Having spent so much time alone the absolute last thing I want now is to old-age alone too.
Wisdom and self-depreciating humor go a long way towards happy aging. Things I laugh at now about myself I would not have thought the least bit funny in my 30’s or 40’s.
A woman ‘my age’ would get that.
Let’s face it... it’s always better to share a joke than to be laughed at for something you have no control over.
That’s just a little of the wisdom I learned from watching my beautiful parents age.
Another thing that matters, really matters is whoever she is needs to be able to scroll through the 388 tweets of mine and…
well, it’s not necessary she agree with me on everything, in fact it’s probably best she doesn’t, but whoever she is needs to understand that for better or worse those tweets come with me.
Whether those ideas age well or not… that’s who I am now… and where I'm headed.
Could I fall in love with a Trump supporter?
Of course I could.
As long as she knows how skeptical I am about Trump and 'Trumpism' aging well.
Oh. One more thing…
For the right woman I will travel anywhere.
