PODCAST

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 ·

In this episode I share the things I'm looking forward to: new projects, new people, promising (but not ideal) career options, and writing about potential positive futures.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/07/08

I was unproductive yesterday... But I was also productive (I hope) by watching more educational content such as PolyMatter, Saint Andrewism, Tom Nicholas, Today I Found Out, and EcoTechBro. How can we better educate and organize ourselves to be better manifestations of nature? I discuss what I learned from my lazy day yesterday and I how I think about moving towards a better future.

Warning! Existential Dread Incoming!

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/06/30

Don't listen to this if you are prone to existential dread. I had this idea for potentially creating a more realistic and dynamic virtual world, but then I realized that it would probably not work, but that lead me to understand why people would want to create simulated world like ours .. which lead me to truly feeling some existential dread more viscerally than I usually ever feel. I am not sure if this episode makes a lick of sense, but I do think it is important to share, so ..... Here you go

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/06/30

Continuing from yesterday's episode, I share more ideas that I've learned from Lex Fridman's interview with Daniel Smachtenberger. In this entry, I go into the concept of Ritualized Discomfort and talk about why optimizing for comfort is dangerous and why individualized, zero-sum success is also dangerous. We need voluntary, communal struggle. I also talk about language.

A Case for Anarchy

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/06/24

What is anarchy? In this entry, I share what I have learned from reading the anarchy.works primer. I talk about how anarchy is NOT the purge, and how our society can actually be much better if it was a bunch of anarchist communities rather than authoritarian regimes and capitalist imperialists. Yes, that's basically blasphemy to say, but check it out for yourself if you think I'm a loon!
