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.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2022/01/20

It's not even an exaggeration to say that America is founded on unethical actions and power trips. This great nation that many around the world are taught to regard as some paragon of progress, freedom, and democracy is a thinly veiled aristocratic empire. What started as a day where I just paid a few traffic tickets turned into a full vent about the history of America. Enjoy. Or don't. I don't care. Just spend a little time thinking about what makes this country 'great' and go see if that's

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/12/16

After giving some updates on my week, I share my thoughts on the XR cube of technologies in response to the CEO of Niantics conversation with the host of the decoder podcast. I explain that augmented reality and virtual reality are on intersecting spectrums, two perpendicular faces of the XR spectrum. The other faces are: spatial computing, cloud computing, machine vision, and blockchain technology. Together, these bring the internet out of the computer and into the 'real' world, allowing our

Finally I talk about my desire to make more friends and to play

Today I share a big realization my partner I had after watching this video about Aphantasia: https://youtu.be/Xa84hA3OsHU we realized that her imagination was way more vivid than mines and mines is way less visual than I thought! This leads me down a tangent about the illusion of free will and why determinism is a very beautiful idea.
