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.

How crowdfunding as a business model can scale...

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/05/08

Crowdfunding may be a great business model for me. It allows me to 1) make money without charging people who are already economically struggling and 2) give people a way to directly support another community in a scalable way. There are still many problems to figure out with this model,... but I hope it is a more promising model than a subscription-only model. Furthermore, I share some insights from SB Kaufman's article about Restoring America's Humanity in which talks about how 'learned

Why you can't ban politics at work

2021/05/05

In this audiojournal entry, I update you all on my new contract at Futurus, applying for the Center for Civic Innovation in Atlanta, and participating in the OKR workshop for the Open Metaverse Interoperability community. I then get on my soapbox to talk about why banning 'politics' and similar things from work is not really possible. If anything, it actually standardizes the current political viewpoint of the organization and ostracizes people who come from very different backgrounds. I think we

In this audiojournal entry, I share some updates on what I did over the weekend.

I then go on to talk a lot about company's vision and mission statement, going into detail about self-actualization, healthy transcendence, and why its important to have a solid foundation in good, humanistic psychology.

In this audiojournal entry, I try to piece together and explain my understanding entropy, of how it is actually a good thing (or at least not always bad), and how we can better think about our role as entropic machines. Problematic (but interesting) definition of entropy - https://fs.blog/2018/11/entropy/ Great description of entropy - https://qr.ae/pGNTd8

Getting back to daily, purely audiojournal uploads! Today I am sharing some initial thoughts and ideas around SB Kaufman's book updating Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. I share my life experiences leading up to how I got my own understanding of this, and how I want to structure and organization around this idea of directly meeting people's basic and higher human needs. I then go on to share some perspectives and thought experiments about the nature of reality and scale of sentience.

- Matrilocal society was the first major successful family structure - HGs had egalitarian society with biological-based specialization and roles - Perhaps we can have a more equal society with skills-based roles - HGs had no concept of scarcity, they didn't wander where they were going to get their food because they knew they could always find something - Similarly, what sets apart 'developed' nations and middle class families from poorer ones is the fact that they can find food and water... you

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/04/07

I start this journal off talking about what we can learn and apply from hunter gatherer cultures: egalitarianism. I also ask questions about whether Google is net good for society. Though they have created massive value in the way of making knowledge more accessible, there is not much talk about the role they have played in the proliferation of 'alternative facts' and extremism; this is in addition to problems of data privacy, data collection, and data usage. I eventually nerd out about water and

In this journal entry, I share some thoughts on what we can learn from hunter-gatherer societies in order to build a more egalitarian society. I start off with some updates on my life so far: from learning more about interaction design and information architecture, to learning Axure, to designing complex datatables and tools for emotional intelligence. I also talk about how/why I have been taking my time with developing my business plan. Going into depth about the importance of getting down to the

2021/03/31

In this long-form podcast/journal I talk about some practical ideas for blockchain/NFT/crypto technology (ie for scientific rigor and communication) and then go deep into the delusion of scarcity. My research into hunter-gather cultures is uncovering the reality that for most of human history, humanity was *not* 'greedy', 'violent', 'selfish' or suffering from inequity. These pre-historic cultures in fact lived a life that we all are trying to get back to as we figure out how to solve inequality,

Also, I completely forgot to talk about Inequality and whether being rich is 'bad', the subjectivity of value, the life-ification of gaming, or information architecture LOL! Soooo expect another one of these soon.

Information Architecture is an incredibly important part of what makes our data-driven, super convenient world actually convenient and usable. I am excited to learn more about what makes good IA and think about how we can tame the Niagara Falls-worth of information we all have access to so that each of us can more easily find, manipulate, and understand the world we live in today.

Then I go on a long tangent/rant about the failures of our society to learn from history such as Ancient African societies that were more egalitarian, sustainable, and far more developed than we currently care to admit.

I put forth some ideas as to why that is and how our current day society can stand to learn a lot from their way of life. Specifically, I challenge myself and others to consider the idea that our modern-day technology is actually a more primitive form of technology than could be had if we perhaps utilized our

In this audiojournal entry, I try to figure out what I want to build if given the funding to work on anything, without self limiting beliefs of what is 'practical' or 'realistic' or 'possible'. Just thinking about what I would be excited to work on every single day for the next 2, 5, 10 years or more. If Bill Gates or Elon Musk or some angel investors and VCs came to me and asked what I wanted to build with the full intent of giving me as much resources as I needed to build it... what would I say to
