Thoughts of a TechnoWizard

In this audiojournal entry I share some things I am excited about from the awesome conversations I had today. From visual design mentors, to the next A More Delightful Future podcast episode, to yet another podcast guest and entrepreneurial resource. I am super excited to see where all this goes and to continue improving my skills to make it happen!

In this audiojournal entry, I share some updates about: Why was I so nervous on my call?! Also, why is Tales of Immortal so popular? And, why am I focusing on visual design?

In this audiojournal entry, I share some updates on what I've been doing this weekend, as well as some ideas that's been floating in my head recently. Tldr; I made some good progress on my EliOS through setting my priorities. I also made progress on my design apprenticeship creating a complex, accessible database with unique QoL features. I've also been thinking about what a card based RPG game could be like. Furthermore, I've created a metaphor to help gain a better perspective on the value of human history. If human history was a bank account, modern western society nets is just $3-400, agricultural and neolithic society nets us just $2k-4000, and hunter gatherer cultures nets us a whopping $50k-200,000!! There is a lot of wealth in wisdom to be had from ancient cultures.

In this audiojournal entry, I share some opinions on recent shows that I've been watching how they leave much to be desired. I also give an update on my current priorities, work, and so on.

In this audiojournal entry, I dive into what I think the next era of the internet can/will be: Spatial Media. Ryan Shultz calls them YARTVRAs, or Yet Another Remote Teamwork Virtual Reality App, these are virtual worlds that may or may not use virtual reality headsets to allow people to communicate remotely through virtual presence in 3D or 2D space. I believe they are going to be the next mainstream technology even before virtual reality and possibly even augmented reality becomes massively accessible. I think they have the potential to really change the world for the better and I am excited to work on this problem!

I just wanted to document this feeling: Why do I keep getting to this point of feeling useless? This pattern of loss of agency, depression, loneliness, and losing my bearings... What is causing it? Where is it coming from? Why is it the way it is? What can I do about it? I often times feel overwhelmed yet underwhelmed at the same time... Just trying to figure out why and how to get out of it...

In this audiojournal entry, I give an update on everything I've been learning and doing this week! From talking to a new friend about unique ways of thinking to watching the New Public Festival discussing ethical and inclusive public spaces to D&D and the benefits of being novelty oriented over goal oriented... I have a lot to share!!

In this audiojournal entry, I try to explain what I'm learning about the game of Go, and what it is teaching me about how complexity emerges from simple rules.

In this audiojournal entry, I talk about my struggles with inconsistency, procrastination, thinking too big, incompetence, and being frustrated with my lack of talent, skills, and discipline. There is so much stuff I want to do! But so many barriers to my success, many of my own making... How can I be better?

In this episode, I bring together a number of 'ingredients' to talk about how we might be able to create more immersive and responsive interactive virtual worlds. I talk about Process Philosophy as introduced in Kent Bye's Voices of VR ep 965; Lex Fridman's interview with Matthew Johnson on episode 145 about Psychedelics; RCT Studio's paper titled 'From Rules to Emergence' and a number of other great resources such as the Webaverse community and the World Science Festival video on 'Rethinking Thinking'.
