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 hope of dramatic Solarpunk Stories

Thoughts of a TechnoWizard ·

2023/03/10

Today I share what inspired me about the folks working on solarpunk as mentioned in some recent Team Human podcast episodes. It's far better to inspire people through hope than through fear.
