Thoughts of a TechnoWizard

An audiojournal documenting my journey to become a TechnoWizard (or perhaps a TechnoAnarchoShaman). I want to help bring forth better futures for all. That means creating a world of worlds that is more sustainable, ecologically stable, spiritual, ancestral, accessible, communal, ambitious, magical, and anarchistic. This is a world where we are all richer than rich; where all needs are met, and we instead solve better problems on a grander scale.

Why we need anarchy - venting

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2022/07/05

Today, after I share my weekend, I vent about the craziness going on in the US in regards to Row v Wade and the mass shootings in America. Our entire idea of democracy today is a complete joke. It's just not possible to have a democracy or any real freedom when millions of people are forced to live under the same rules and moral codes. Anarchy allows people to be people, to be empathetic, and removes the ability to force people to do what you want. We need anarchy, because that is the only way to
