Thoughts of a TechnoWizard

My desire to generate 10 ideas a day has been reinvigorated! So today, I try to generate 10 ideas on the fly. They aren't that great, probably not even original, but I tried!

Had a stressful week! But learned a lot and got a lot of fuel for my dreams of the future. I share my car problems, my ideas on how we can build more anarchist futures via practical community building, and analyze some gospel to ponder about the role of hierarchy in religion. Is hierarchy a foundational tenement of religion or just a byproduct of the real foundation: awe and desire for humility, gratitude, or vulnerability? And check out this awesome article about solarpunk anarchism that I absolutely mangled: https://solarpunkanarchists.com/2018/05/02/social-anarchist-futures/

Today I get into a whole lotta stuff! First I share a bit about my week, then share some ideas about relationships and why so many people get sucked into the manosphere; then I take a longer than intended tangent into respect again, talking about the difference between respecting ones humanity vs respecting authority. Then I get into sharing some stuff about fungus-based businesses, and finally close out with a long talk about billionaires trying to escape the results of their actions, as explained by Douglas Rushkoff.

I know it's a hot topic right now, but i still wanted to share my thoughts on the queen and alladat. This is a continuation of the prior episode on respect...

Inspired by yet another Lex Fridman podcast(https://youtu.be/yImlXr5Tr8g), I talk about the Meaning Crisis, institutions, and a bit of respectability politics.

Today I share my thoughts on why philosophy is so important for the average person. I link philosophy to consciousness, and show how the lack of thought allows us to be more easily controlled, oppressed, and limited in our freedoms, and thus consciousness.

Talking about consciousness while driving home late one night. I think consciousness is a solvable hard problem if we study it as an emergent factor of systems rather than through a purely reductive lens.

Today, I vent a little about my limits and barriers around creating, then share some ideas on what I want to work on going forward. Go read my latest newsletter!! https://elijahclaude.substack.com/p/my-year-thus-far?r=1fns6&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=direct

Though understandable, I get very frustrated with stories that mistake hierarchy for some fundamental aspect of nature or human behavior. Today, I share my learnings and ideas around the reality of hierarchy and is circumstantial appearance in human/animal behavior. I then go on to share some high level ideas and reasons why we need more stories that show the awesomeness of humans without hierarchy.

I pick up where I left off in the last episode by discussing several ideas and contexts for how we can build businesses and foster an entrepreneurial mindset in society outside of Capitalism and a monetary system.
