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.

The infinite complexity in a blade of grass - how we...

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/08/15

I'm not high! But I probably do sound crazy as I reflect on the infinite complexity of a blade of grass and life in general. I wax on about how even the most boring or mundane things and stories could hold an finite amount of detail. I even go on to refute Lex Fridman's idea that death and suffering is necessary to appreciate the beauty of life.

Free Will - Another thought experiment

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/08/14

I done thunked 'bout Free Will again taday.... 🤣 But frfr. I think figuring out if free will is an illusion or should be redefined is one of the most important problems to (try to) solve. Not only will it allow us to better understand consciousness, but it will empower us to build better societies, systems, and have more compassion for our fellow humans and life in general.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/08/10

I quickly go through some of my thoughts on Lex Fridman's interview with Jeff Hawkins https://youtu.be/Z1KwkpTUbkg and then dive into ideas around capitalism and doughnut economics https://time.com/5930093/amsterdam-doughnut-economics/ and point out how a lot of ideas around capitalism are more propoganda than facts.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/08/09

I recount my experience this weekend around the retreat. I harp on the frustrating experience of renting a car without a credit card (FIY! I didn't discover Avail and Zipcar until After I got to the retreat, and Turo was way too expensive). I then share the misadventures of our off-grid living and how enlightening it was to see how such a living situation could work.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/08/06

Today, I discuss Saint Andrew's great video on Right Wing Authoritarianism. https://youtu.be/yP6dqzUoQeE It's a great, indepth video that goes into who these people are, why they are that way, and a little bit into how we can better handle them. I talk about the nuances of this idea and how America is pretty much controlled by this group. I also talk a bit about taxes, billionaires, and my work efforts.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/08/05

Yesterday, I watched the WeWork documentary on Hulu with my SO. I talk about how wild it is that people are so easily manipulated into not just blindly following, but giving undue opportunities to on the basis of how 'charming' and 'confident' they seem. I talk about how this focus on excessive work, excuse of harassment and, rampant discrimination creates an inherently exploitive and myopic culture. I hope we can be better.

UFOs - Aliens, Space Travel, and other stuff, Part 2

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/08/04

If we can achieve relativistic speeds (>90% the speed of light), we could theoretically reach anywhere in the galaxy or beyond within one hundred years or less... But thousands or even millions of years would pass back on the home planet. This means that aliens should be everywhere... But maybe they don't care to colonize or visit planets at all! Maybe they rather just sit around and wait... Here is the calculator for time dilation: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/space-travel and here is

What makes life worth playing? How can we make life...

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/07/28

Today's episode is very... ruminative,... exploratory, and inconclusive. I try to work through my feelings and worries and struggles. I try to figure what makes games so fun and life so... not. How do we make life feel more like the enjoyable game we know it can be? I think there are a number of elements to figure out... Part of this was inspired by this video: https://youtu.be/dE1DuBesGYM

Car-centric cities are STUPID AF!!! 🤬🤬🤬

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/07/23

Not Just Bikes made some great videos about some research the Strong Towns nonprofit organization found about car-centric cities. They showed how absolutely terrible, unhealthy, inefficient, ugly, unAmerican, financially wasteful, and all around stupid it is to build cities around cars instead of people.

I share what I learned about Emotion Wheels and emotional maturity. I also go deep(er than expected) into my problems with Jordan Peterson. In short, I think his ideas on IQ and power structures are inherently biased, limited, and myopic.

I go into a tirade about the crazy, paternalistic things nonprofits have to go through, the issues of social media sites created by people who don't understand how social spaces work, as well as the crucial need for a principles and educated approach to designing technology or other services. You can find the research I was talking about here: https://newpublic.org/study/1358/the-signals-in-the-pandemic
