Advertise on podcast: Thoughts of a TechnoWizard

I'm back and happy finally able to share my thoughts and feelings about some stuff I've been going through. I talk a little about the issues in Tanzania but I unfortunately don't know enough to get more into depth. I then go into my critiques around an article that's been going around recently about how selling solar panels in Africa is 'Solarpunk'. Finally, I share some thoughts I've had as I've begun learning more about W E B DuBois. I end with a call to become more self sufficient as humans by integrating both practical trade skills, as well as a love and understanding of scientific knowledge.

For my birthday, I wanted to finally do those interviews I spoke about before, asking random folks about their thoughts on what a better world could look like. I didn't record the interview this time, but I discussed my attempt before and after.

My cat died... Here's a eulogy for my sweet boi!!

I share my frustrations trying to keep my cat alive amidst an overtly hostile capitalistic healthcare system. This leads to a discussion about what AI could and should be able to do instead of GPT chat crap.

Some thoughts about the issues and potential of AI, the story of Lupe Fiasco, and the limits or true impact of art.

Today I air out some of my frustrations with the current paradigm of computers, software design, and AI. I then talk about the 3D visual I've been working on for Andrewism's Solarpunk Art Collab

I read the Communist Manifesto.... and I have some thoughts. I rant about Marx after I explain what he was attempting to do, then get into the anarchist critiques that I share.

I got my job back! I talk about how that transition has been over the last few weeks, and what I've been doing outside of work. I discuss my thoughts and experiences with books I've read like Ministry of the Future and the Malcolm X book written by Manning Marable, events I went to like the Malcolm X festival and the Resist and Build festival, as well as thoughts I've had around things like utopianism and conservativism. Here's the podcast my brother and I have been doing (couple of weeks behind the uploads): https://open.spotify.com/show/5SPKle96FpcHRgU0myEFEs?si=SVj2zPyaT22WwpoPeISraA

Today I wrestle with some feelings I've been trying to figure out... what cages am I in? How can I continue to grow and expand myself and experience freedom in a world where I feel constantly limited and alone? These are some of the ideas that was partially inspired by this video: https://youtu.be/_4PaTt7lylI?si=SpSxayW0XdxbEN1g Hoping to share my vulnerabilities and connect with more people on a deeper level through that discomfort!

After coming back home and talking with my partner, who I consider an unofficial pro on this topic among many others, she gave some great insights and perspective that I wanted to share as well.

I share some of what I've been feeling over the past few weeks in the way of energy management. I then find myself talking about the concept of manifestion and hermeticism, lol... but wait there's more!

In this episode, I explore why I procrastinate and why I think it's important to believe things can be better.. and work to make it so. I reflect on my history with failed ambitious projects, from hovercars to coding to trillionaire startups, and discuss what I learned from them.

Today I give some updates on what I'm planning to do next. Spoiler Alert! I want to focus much of my abilities, ideas, and passions into growing a series called Building Better Futures! Aaaand I want to learn craft/trade work like carpentry, woodworking, or millwright work. Tune in for the former, and please let me know if you have suggestions for the latter!

Do you think changing the world is hard? Impossible? Unrealistic? Well today I hope to show how changing the world could be as simple as building a real community around yourself.As I seek to decompress from being gainfully employed, I meander my way into sharing thoughts and desires I have around the importance of community in building a better world.

I take an evening walk.. with my cat... and talk about what I'll miss about my job. So long... for now, and thanks for all the headsets.
