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.

2022/06/02

I start today's podcast with an update about my work situation, which flows into a reflection of my own self esteem issues and so on. I then segue into how the precarious situation we are all in thanks to capitalism makes people more prone to being on edge. Unfortunately, many folks (especially cis white men) find solace in extremist or otherwise problematic content and communities. I also touch on some thoughts I've had listening to some Lex Fridman podcasts. I mention how the Bad Vegan thing shows

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2022/05/21

Free will is a terribly limiting belief! In this long two part episode, I talk about how free will doesn't make sense in terms of physics, biology, psychology, etc. Then I posit a better way to think about sentience, decision making, agency, willpower, accountability, and so on.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2022/04/19

I dive into contentious topics around how being moderate and sticking to the 'center' of the left/right political compass is actually itself very right wing. I source MLK, the history of politics in the West, and the history of 'civilization' to show how our entire society is pretty far right despite our desires for personal freedom. This was largely inspired by this video https://youtu.be/9TYK9Mu_dzA among many others.

Envisioning better futures is incredibly important, but what can we build today to bring us closer to those futures?
