Thoughts Of A Trillionaire

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).

Today I share more ideas on how I can combine a research center, a community center, an innovationab, and ab educational center all into a communal living system. This is the type of co-operative organization that I want to help create to solve some of the most important problems in the world...

We finally moved into our own place!! I recount the process, troubles, and highlights of the move as well as what I'm looking forward to. I then share some insights I'm learning about getting furniture and such. Finally, I end with some ideas I've had around tools that would help build communities, craft stuff, and a Solarpunk trucking game!

I share more updates on my housing journey, talk about a new web fiction I've been reading called Shades of Perception, and talk about games I've been playing/watching like Talented and Deadlock. Plus some other stuff...

Creepy houses, horny pets,.. oh my! Heres a continuation of my (mis)adventures with finding a house and new pets.

Today I ramble a bit before I stumble into the topic of how playing challenging games can be really helpful. I talk about two games I started playing this weekend: Talented and Emberward.

I continue sharing my experiencing trying to rent my own place for the first time...

I share my experience trying to rent my own place for the first time...

Today I talk through my fears and insecurities around sharing and embracing my ideas and idea-centric skillset...

Today I share my experiences in Arkansas, my thoughts on capitalism and some realizations I had while visiting these large corporations. I also share some initial thoughts about Afropressimism.

Just giving an update on what's been going on in my life the last few weeks! It's been a bit of a rollercoaster lately... Literally!

My grandfather passed away. I reflect on that moment. The Body: https://youtu.be/EtVca4XV4_U?si=LTpZo97XSh5fD6q1

What 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.

Kendrick gives us a great example of the type of energy we need to utilize to take down corrupt systems. In this episode I discuss how we can use his crusade against Drake as a playbook for how we can tackle capitalism, patriarchy, hierarchy, and all these other terrible systems too. #notlikeus

Today I share some frustrations, ideas, and inspirations regarding the need for an overarching process for creating better futures...

Today I delve back into hip-hop to talk about the various problems plaguing the culture and where they came from. I then share some ideas on how we can fix them.
