Description
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.

For my birthday, I wanted to finally do those interviews I spoke about before, asking random folks about their thoughts on what a better world could look like.I didn't record the interview this time, but I discussed my attempt before and after.
My cat died... Here's a eulogy for my sweet boi!!
I share my frustrations trying to keep my cat alive amidst an overtly hostile capitalistic healthcare system. This leads to a discussion about what AI could and should be able to do instead of GPT chat crap.
Some thoughts about the issues and potential of AI, the story of Lupe Fiasco, and the limits or true impact of art.
Today I air out some of my frustrations with the current paradigm of computers, software design, and AI.I then talk about the 3D visual I've been working on for Andrewism's Solarpunk Art Collab
I read the Communist Manifesto.... and I have some thoughts. I rant about Marx after I explain what he was attempting to do, then get into the anarchist critiques that I share.
I got my job back! I talk about how that transition has been over the last few weeks, and what I've been doing outside of work. I discuss my thoughts and experiences with books I've read like Ministry of the Future and the Malcolm X book written by Manning Marable, events I went to like the Malcolm X festival and the Resist and Build festival, as well as thoughts I've had around things like utopianism and conservativism.
Here's the podcast my brother and I have been doing (couple of weeks behind the uploads): https://open.spotify.com/show/5SPKle96FpcHRgU0myEFEs?si=SVj2zPyaT22WwpoPeISraA
Today I wrestle with some feelings I've been trying to figure out... what cages am I in? How can I continue to grow and expand myself and experience freedom in a world where I feel constantly limited and alone?
These are some of the ideas that was partially inspired by this video:

Hoping to share my vulnerabilities and connect with more people on a deeper level through that discomfort!
After coming back home and talking with my partner, who I consider an unofficial pro on this topic among many others, she gave some great insights and perspective that I wanted to share as well.
I share some of what I've been feeling over the past few weeks in the way of energy management. I then find myself talking about the concept of manifestion and hermeticism, lol... but wait there's more!
In this episode, I explore why I procrastinate and why I think it's important to believe things can be better.. and work to make it so.
I reflect on my history with failed ambitious projects, from hovercars to coding to trillionaire startups, and discuss what I learned from them.
Today I give some updates on what I'm planning to do next. Spoiler Alert!
I want to focus much of my abilities, ideas, and passions into growing a series called Building Better Futures!
Aaaand I want to learn craft/trade work like carpentry, woodworking, or millwright work.
Tune in for the former, and please let me know if you have suggestions for the latter!
Do you think changing the world is hard? Impossible? Unrealistic? Well today I hope to show how changing the world could be as simple as building a real community around yourself.As I seek to decompress from being gainfully employed, I meander my way into sharing thoughts and desires I have around the importance of community in building a better world. Check out my new podcast with my brother, called Claudian Rhythm!https://open.spotify.com/show/5SPKle96FpcHRgU0myEFEs?si=GheWv0l8SoyMnM0wvr1H9Q
I take an evening walk.. with my cat... and talk about what I'll miss about my job. So long... for now, and thanks for all the headsets.
I am being put on furlough.... basically it's being laid off, but I can keep my benefits until I find another job, they hire us back, or they close up shop.Losing your job always sucks, but I feel particularly frustrated for not being more prepared for this inevitability since I always knew that job security was not a thing. Nonetheless, I am also very excited!! I'm finally going to have hella time to work on all the projects I've been wanting to work on over the past few years. So stay tuned!! And let me know if there's anything you want to see first! Also... if you want to support financially, feel free to send to my cashapp: $ElijahThaddeusClaude
I'm back!! I share some of the stressors I've had and much of the stories I've been reading these past few weeks. These stories include (roughly in order of discussion): Consider Phlebas by Ian M. Banks, The Long Earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter, House of Suns by Alistair Reynolds, and the webfiction Ar'Kendrithyst by Arcs.And I forgot to talk about A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys... which is a shame because it was my favorite novel of the lot! Definitely have to get into it in the next episode.
Today I struggle to recall the podcast I listened to interviewing Sara Walker talking about Assembly Theory and the origins of life. So instead talk more about philosophy, Solarpunk, scifi, and the importance of giving alternatives alongside critiques.
Today I share some thoughts I had after watching CJ The X's video called "6 Shaped of God" https://youtu.be/GZg_36utl2w?si=ywmvPFqxDxxufZde ... I get into my frustrations/beliefs around god and what I think is a more rational and helpful spiritual belief may encompass.
Today I share some thoughts I had after listening to the Decoder podcast with Harvey Mason Jr., the CEO of the nonprofit that runs the Grammys. I go into the problems of institutions and how we may be able to do things differently if we take a more decentralized, anarchist approach to organizations, power, and social support.
In this episode, I give some updates on what I've been doing and struggling this month and share my thoughts on hip-hop and the place competition plays in the art... all while walking my cat (well for some of it).
