Aligning your tastes with your goals
12/05/2024 Duración: 43minWhat kind of music do you listen to? What art do you consume? How does it align with the type of world you want to live in? I share my own frustrations and ideas on how people can/should seek out art (and other things) more consciously. I argue that it is actually important whether you listen to someone like Drake or Kendrick if you give a shit about culture and building better worlds. Even beyond that, if you listen to just what is popular vs all the other amazing but lesser known art out there, then your worldview will almost certainly be limited. I think the things we consume, and the things we create, and the things we share, are all important facets of the world we are living and building.

For all the Haters

A rant about hip-hop
12/04/2024 Duración: 50minI end up going on a long rant about the history and evolution of hip-hop and why diss tracks are a part of the culture, but also why/how the glorification of violence and misogyny became baked into the 'culture' even when it shouldn't be.

Pulling the thread can be problematic - An observation and an apology
06/02/2024 Duración: 29minToday I have to give a heartfelt apology to all the folks I may have unravelled or otherwise had way too intense discussions with. After/during a recent discussion that did not go super well, I realized, or rather crystalized, something about myself: I like to pull at threads! And I will often do so relentlessly until something comes apart.. or proves resilient enough to stand. Though I greatly value this trait about myself as a major driver of my curiosity, it can be very tough for other people. I don't want people to be too scared of talking with me, or to think that I'm just trying to be antagonistic towards them. Though curiosity and a thirst for understanding is important, it does not bode well to put people in a defensive or floundering state in the process. So I am very sorry to all those I may have troubled in my thread pulling. I'll endeavor to be more tactful going forward.

Exploring my Foundations of Technowizardry
23/09/2023 Duración: 02h06minToday I delve deeper into the various magic systems that were foundational to my idea of magic, and especially my unquenchable thirst to create a more magical world. I talk about how magical religion is, contrast between monotheistic and polytheistic ones, compare with various fantasy tropes found in books like Harry Potter and various urban fantasy and vampire books... then I also talk about how science and technology differs from magic, but also how it is still quite similar. Finally I end, as I often tend to do, with a sort of call to action, to imagine a world where our technology feels more magical in a more real sense... empowering us to channel the magic within us out into the world...
