- What if free will IS consciousness?
Today, I woke up with a strange feeling... Somewhere between restlessness and reflection. After trying to work through that feeling, I began to share my take on what may be one of the most important ideas for humanity to figure out: What is the nature of free will and consciousness? I posit that free will is consciousness, that consciousness is (self-referential)awareness, and that by becoming more aware of the factors that may play into our 'decisions' and behaviors, we can design better systems and societies, as well as have more fulfilling lives.

About Thoughts of a TechnoWizard
From the publisher's feed
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.
