Today I share an idea around how to design currency more purposefully through the belief in abundance and community (a Great Mother) as opposed to greed and scarcity (a Great Father). I probably got some of this wrong, but I think the core ideas are quite impactful.

Sharing some of my frustrations... And maybe this is not a pyrrhic success, but its certainly one that feels a bit empty without also being able to help out my loved ones more immediately.

Today is my first day at my new job!! I talk a little about that, and I also discuss the progress I've finally made with newsletter. I discuss why spoilers are actually not that bad, and my history/life obsession with wanting to change the world. Here is a great series to help see how the Left has always been about Equality, and the Right has always been about Hierarchy: https://youtu.be/P3cmjNrXWms I think Hierarchy is the simple but extremely powerful concept underlying much of the problems with our society.

Here is an absolutely amazing theory of human evolution and how we became intelligent, egalitarian species thanks to woman and their desire to form communities: http://libcom.org/history/gender-egalitarianism-made-us-human-response-david-graeber-david-wengrows-how-change-cou I discuss what I learned from here and connect it to the various problems of capitalism, patriarchy, and hierarchy. I also connect this with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgOo-bS7OJI

Today I ramble about a number of topics from feelings to comedy to anthropology to urban planning. How can we identify less with feelings and more with people? Can memory (of living alongside different humanoid species) be passed down over the ages? Why are people so 'sensitive' and get 'offended' with comedy? How can we reimagine our neighborhoods and cities to be more walkable and communal?

GO WATCH THE VIDEO!! https://youtu.be/UvYcunuF3Eo CJ the X talks about everything from memes to transhumanism to politics to capitalism to artificial intelligence and so much more. He breaks down much of the contemporary seemingly insurmountable issues we face today and shows how the internet, as designed by profit minded corporations, greatly exacerbates these issues. He shows how memes are used as a fatalistic coping mechanism for people who have and are being raised with and inside of this exploitive internet. He also offers up some ideas in the way of long form conversations and having dialectic discussions to begin solving these systemic problems.

I share some space opera ideas that I created with my partner yesterday. I then explore the concept of property and laws and why they may not be as advanced as we think them vs simple but complex social interactions and case-by-case dialectics.

I quickly recap my weekend, then I go into how weird it is that you need money to live today. I also point out the difference between monotheistic and polytheistic religions. Then I share some alternative ways to structure society.

This long ass episode is me trying to work through the complex mechanisms behind race, gender, and hierarchical/binary thought patterns. I break down the idea of social constructs and the difference culture and race. I then discuss the problem with Dave Chappelle. Then I argue why we should abolish gender too.

I am officially employed! I'll be working at Futurus as an XR Design Strategist starting Oct 18th!! I also talk about what I learned from Hegel and then go into the absolutely amazing anthropological and ethnographic data unearthed by David Wengrow and David Graeber (RIP) about the myth of the stupid savage. https://youtu.be/EvUzdJSK4x8 in this video they talk about how the native Americans were actually extremely purposeful and conscious about how they structured their societies to be more egalitarian. And they show much of the ideas for the Enlightenment came from the dialectics and critiques of Native Americans against European society.
