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 ·

2021/09/24

Today I connect Hegel's arguments against the monochromatic lense of people who wish to describe the world through a singular lense (such as economics or politics or dystopia) with the aims of Solarpunk, in which seeks to supply an alternative view for more positive futures.

The Magic of Being a Polymath

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/09/23

Inspired by this morning's Polymath Networking Cafe, I liken being a polymath to being a magic user. In this episode, I show how being able to think from different perspectives is like being able to see the world as a magician. Stage Performers, Wizards, Clerics, Druids, Warlocks, Chronomancers, Necromancers and so on are all different ways of studying the world to invent new, magical understandings.

How Car Dependency turns suburbs into Wasteland......

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/09/22

Today, I share insights from watching Echo Gecko's videos about the Suburban Wasteland and what we can do to fix it. Car dependency has destroyed and actively harms nearly every aspect of our society, from children autonomy to safety to tax revenue to local businesses to health to ecological impact and more. But we can solve this by clawing back from single-family zoning and allowing for more multi-purpose zoning to build strong communities. Echo Gecko - https://youtu.be/RrsL2n9q6d0 and

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

Here's the older episode I did on this: https://anchor.fm/trillionaire/episodes/A-case-for-banning-Intellectual-Property-e10k7pm

The Simplicity of Systems Thinking

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/09/03

The first rule of Systems Thinking, is that systems don't exist. Luckily we can talk about them though 😜. Systems are how we perceive the world. But they are not the world itself. By understanding this, we can solve really complicated problems by dissolving them into its complex but simple components. Today, I share some of the principles that I could recall from learning about it yesterday.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/09/02

Big TW!! I try to process the upsetting news about the new Texas abortion laws. Are these people truly incapable of empathy and emotional intelligence? Or can we help these people be reasoned with? This seems to me to be another case against vertical hierarchy and the need for anarchic communities.

Growing pains of a polymath/multipotentialite

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/08/30

Today, I share some thoughts I had talking to a fellow polymath. I share my self esteem issues and why I have associated confidence with arrogance for so long. I talk about the idea of letting my productivity emerge out of my system as opposed to trying to be productive with each thing I do. Finally, I talk about why it's so hard for me to apply to jobs and be okay with them as ladders... It's like being forced to only ever look at a leaf and not the full tree.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/08/26

Today I throw some ideas in the air about how the world is interconnected, how ideas such as language and domains are made up, and how we can make a better society by building systems, technologies, and hierarchies where people have power With but not power Over. Freedom is best when we each can do what we want without fear of somebody else forcefully constraining that freedom.
