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.

I thus end with some solutions to how we can better welcome other neurological architectures as well as make society a more robust and diverse civilization.

Spatial Media is the Next Stage of the Internet

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/01/22

In this audiojournal entry, I dive into what I think the next era of the internet can/will be: Spatial Media. Ryan Shultz calls them YARTVRAs, or Yet Another Remote Teamwork Virtual Reality App, these are virtual worlds that may or may not use virtual reality headsets to allow people to communicate remotely through virtual presence in 3D or 2D space. I believe they are going to be the next mainstream technology even before virtual reality and possibly even augmented reality becomes massively

2021/01/21

I just wanted to document this feeling: Why do I keep getting to this point of feeling useless? This pattern of loss of agency, depression, loneliness, and losing my bearings... What is causing it? Where is it coming from? Why is it the way it is? What can I do about it? I often times feel overwhelmed yet underwhelmed at the same time... Just trying to figure out why and how to get out of it...

ChessGods - An idea for a more 'exciting' chess game.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2021/01/02

What if Chess was as exciting to watch for the average person as it is to play? In this episode, I share some ideas I have for a more spectator-friendly and highly scalable Chess game. This was inspired by Jabrils' video "Fighting games are boring, so I tried making that makes you feel like a god". I think my idea is not only more chess-like, but also opens up the door for immersive AR and VR experiences with Chess!

I'm leaving the arcade. Today marks my last day at work. It's bittersweet occasion. But a necessary one. Or at least a good choice for me to push myself further. This arcade has been a great place to work, learn, and grow. I am thankful for my experience here and will always be happy to help and to hang out with the folks I've worked with here. Alas, it is time to sail onwards towards the ever beckoning horizon.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2020/11/05

Virtual Reality in the next few years needs to have standalone headsets with PC-level processing power.

And it all needs to be built on more ethical and flexible business models. In this audiojournal entry, I try and figure out what the immediate next generation of immersive technology should be.

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2020/11/04

Knowledge is as much in the world as it is in the mind. Psychological concepts like habit loops from dopamine, the evolutionary significance of variable rewards, and the nature of constraints born from our environment all play into how we can design better things. In this audiojournal entry, I try to connect these dots to designing VR/AR experiences.
