Thoughts of a TechnoWizard

What is confidence? It is the simple act of not being afraid to change. It is the acceptance of growth and the empathy of connection. It is the self empowerment of awakened beings able to go after the life they want and know they can have, no matter the adversities in their way. Is antifragility. In this audiojournal entry, I share my own struggles with this simple idea and talk about how many of...

It is (1)2020 and we are still largely worried about the same problems that our ancestors were worried about 10,000 years ago. Food, shelter, water, social connections, and access to resources. We still must work to get each one... We still must spend a lot of time trying to manage these basic needs. In this audiojournal entry, I share my disappointment with where we are now as a species, and my h...

Awakening. It is a term used in these spiritual journeys once you begin to get into meditation, manifestations, and spirituality outside of religion. In this audiojournal entry, I share my thoughts, ideas, and experiences as I go through my own journey of Awakening. It is a process of selflessness and breaking out of the constraints of learned consciousness. It is the path of always being curious...

Mind altering substances have walked alongside human evolution for a long time, since the beginning. It is a source of everything from spirituality to philosophical thinking. I share a little bit of my experiences from my last experiment in this audiojournal entry.

Are science and spirituality at odds with each other? Are they two sides of the same coin? Or are they opponents in the fight for knowledge and understanding? In this audio journal entry, I share some insights into how these two binary ideas are actually partners in an ever shifting dance across the universe. I share some warnings about the corrupting nature of faith and how it poisons both by dis...

Hiring is usually a terrible process for both applicants and employers. The process is unnecessarily obtuse and opaque, leaving so much room for bias, weak structure, and varying standards. In this entry, I share some simple but powerful ideas for what employers can do to make their process more transparent and enjoyable. 1) Share authentic videos about their culture and work. 2) Have employees sh...

I am feeling very energized this morning! My new mic is on the way along with a number of other things that I order from the cosmic catalogue 😂😉. But seriously, I am working on my inner self and confidence so that I may better accomplish the goals I set out for myself. Gotta have fun with the process!!

As we venture beyond faith to find a better alternative to religion, we find this age-old idea of chakras. It is something that many cultures have explored since ancient times and it's still very relevant. However, with modern day knowledge, we are now able to understand the measurable truths in this idea as well. I hope to talk about these concepts from scientific standpoint and share my learning...

Part 2 of my thoughts after listening to Sam Harris talks about the insidious nature of algorithms built with ad business modes, the danger of religion and faith based thinking, and a better way to think about race, antiracism, and globalization.

Listening to Making Sense with Sam Harris for the first time has refined and inspired some great ideas in me. In this entry, I share some of my thoughts from listening to his podcasts. I talk about the concept of "strong ideas weakly held", how meritocracy is a myth (or worse), and the magnitude of systemic racism and how affirmative action is just the first step to rebalancing the scales.

Video games jumped into 3D immersion as soon as the technology allowed it, but web interfaces have stayed relatively the same since the 90s. In this entry, I share my thoughts on why the internet is not as immersive or interactive as games, and how Notion or similar tools can solve the bigger problem of human creativity.

In this entry, I just wanted to give some updates on my plans for growing this podcast. Please feel free to keep me accountable!

Love will be my competitive advantage. In this entry, I share my reasoning as to why I think loving every facet of your business will create a far better business than ever.

Downsizing (2017) was an interesting movie... But it was very surface level than what it could have been. In this entry, I talk about how awesome it would if a movie like this delved more into the various concepts it introduced, such as materialsism, classism, and global warming.

The Circle (2017) movie explored ideas about surveillance and 'full transparency' where knowledge is a human right, privacy is theft, and secrets are lies. In this entry, I discuss the deeper meaning of these ideas and think about how real life is a more nuanced conversation.

Today is my 26th birthday. In this audiojournal entry, I reflect on my life thus far, especially on where I thought I would be when I was 16. I talk about my change of perspective and read a blog that I will share later today. Thanks for walking this journey with me so far. I can't wait to walk ever further and change the world for the better together with you!!

Sex is an important part of life. It is about more than pleasure. It is one of the most intimate forms of connection and communication we have as humans. In this entry, I discuss the deeper considerations many people in America fail to talk about in regards to sex.

Scamboli Reviews had a great video talking about how Mob Psycho 100 is better than One Punch Man... And I think he's right! The character growth of Mob and everyone around him is just so sweet that it makes the action and everything else more meaningful. I highly suggest you check out those anime shows and watch his video detailing that difference too!

Anybody can learn anything, no matter their age. When you're younger, you are simply in the phase of your life where everything is new and you don't know what is relevant. When you're older, you know how to dismiss things that are irrelevant, at the risk of dismissing all new things as irrelevant. In this entry, I talk about how the term 'neuroplasticity' is a misnomer, and how our mind is more ac...

Many modern medicines abuse the people they are meant to help. In this entry, I share some of my frustrations about the ineffectiveness of modern medicine and the problem of incentives...

Finding your purpose and pursuing it allows you to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. In this entry, I share my reasoning for always pursuing your dreams even when it seems aspirational.

I talk about my future kids and how I want to raise them in this late night entry.

My bootcamp has some weekly requirements to qualify for their money back guarantee, so I am using this week to get ready for my job searching. In this entry, I just share what I'm doing and I want to do to move forward in my career path.

The government released files about the TicTac UFO sighting a few months ago. In this journal entry, I share my thoughts on possible origins of UFOs and why I think any aliens we discover are unlikely to be interstellar. NOTE: I MEANT DAVID FRAVOR ON THE LEX FRIDMAN PODCAST 😅

The future is often a mix of the best case and the worst case scenarios. In this entry, I share my worst and best case predictions of the future in the next 60-80 years inspired by James Altucher. I talk about politics and society, augmented and virtual reality, climate change, space, gene editing, and more.
