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.

Why being woke is not that woke

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/06/23

After sharing updates on my day, I delve into the problems of Wokeism and cancel culture. I share my thoughts on why I think a focus on race (ie white privilege, white fragility, etc) actually creates more racism. I also speak on conservatism a bit and begin to share my lifelong interest in anarchy.

Consciousness and free will

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/06/22

I've been feeling fairly unmotivated over the last few days,... But I've also been nerding out about consciousness and free will. In this audiojournal, I ramble about my ideas in this topic and how we can better individuals and build a better society by seriously questioning the idea of free will.

In this episode, I play around with the idea that UFOs might be old hominid species... 🤔 I also talk about how important it is for scientists to entertain these ideas. And I may have another podcast coming out today going over my new habits and goals!

What if free will IS consciousness?

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/06/14

Today, I woke up with a strange feeling... Somewhere between restlessness and reflection. After trying to work through that feeling, I began to share my take on what may be one of the most important ideas for humanity to figure out: What is the nature of free will and consciousness? I posit that free will is consciousness, that consciousness is (self-referential)awareness, and that by becoming more aware of the factors that may play into our 'decisions' and behaviors, we can design better systems

Finances - Trillionaire dreams

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/06/10

My pandemic unemployment assistance income will be ending at the end of June, this is worrying because that net is what allowed me to even have the time and energy to build my career up to this point. I go on to talk about the importance of having such a social net, of why we need more creator marketplaces, and about why billionaires can be doing so much more.

Hyperlocality - Designing society to be more like nature

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/06/01

How can we design our economy, communities, technology, and society to be more like nature in order to benefit from the naturally sustainable living of ecosystems and molecular structures that scale through emergence rather than central planning? (This episode was recorded on Sunday, but I forgot to publish it 😅)

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/05/26

I work through my ideas about consciousness, free will, and how our life can have more agency through being more aware of our reality, inspired in part by Lex Fridman's interview with Sam Harris, as well as SB Kaufman's book: Transcend.

The Future of Education

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/05/20

Education should be a lifelong institution for solving real world problems. Instead of schools as we have them now, we should have library-like facilities and intranets where people can 'check out' a course on any subject. Folks should be prompted and given the resources to not just solve random problems, but instead be directed to ask why.. to find the causes behind the symptoms.. to learn the context and work with the people suffering those problems. Then, they should be able to collaborate on a

What does it mean to extend reality?

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/05/19

XR is more than just VR and AR. We can also consider computers, cars, and every other technology as an extension of our reality in some way. Our ideas and language is also an extension of reality. Thus I talk about how and why we need to consciously consider what parts of reality we are extending and how we are doing so. Does that leave our world in a better or worse state? I also talk a little about the concept of good and evil, holistic design, and general updates about my life and my goals.

Updates and thoughts on revolution, history, and love

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/05/17

What is the effectiveness and role of revolutions in the long term? What is the role of violence in revolution? I had a long and difficult conversation about that on Friday. There is much I have to learn before I can delve into it here indepth... I also talk a bit about what my family found about our Native American lineage, and then talk about my experience with being in a long term relationship.

The future of the internet needs to be interoperable...

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/05/13

The internet is transitioning more and more into an interconnected web of metaverses, but why do we not have the ability to move our accounts, posts, and creations from one platform to another? This is one of the many problems we hope to solve in the Open Metaverse Interoperability group. I talk about my experience attending OMI meetings and then go into my first full experience with the Oculus Quest. I end with a description of my business plan and ask for help!

Incompetence or Cowardice?

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/05/12

The world is full of incompetence. BBVA has an absolutely terrible banking experience, especially with their mobile app. DCAU is great, but their cohesion is severely lacking (and HBO Max doesn't even try to help by putting them in a nice little playlist). Background Checks aren't actually effective at creating a safer workplace. And most egregiously to me right now, HTC Vive seems to be incapable of having the spine to stand up to Facebook even though they are by far the best company for the job
