Thoughts Of A Trillionaire

I pick up where I left off in the last episode by discussing several ideas and contexts for how we can build businesses and foster an entrepreneurial mindset in society outside of Capitalism and a monetary system.

I talk about yet another Lex Fridman podcast, this time about Maggate Wade and her pro capitalist beliefs on how it can help Africa become prosperous. https://youtu.be/Q6tDV3BhrcM

I continue my musings on how to build utopia by talking some more about the importance of building deep relationships, and the importance of building walkable neighborhoods with communal spaces.

Today, I share some utopian visions for a better world based on what it would look like to live in real communities, where you have friendships and close relationships with the people in your neighborhood.

Today I ramble on about climate change, free will, consciousness and stuff. Thinking about how and why being more conscious of the environment through being curious, aware, and scientific can bring us more options to solving the world's biggest problems.

Today, I talk about the importance of being Social in understanding intelligence and building better communities. Here is the video that inspired some of this: https://youtu.be/3K25VPdbAjU I also delve back into the topic of intelligence, and also share some amazing research showing that America is not a democracy: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B#

I respond to text another Lex Fridman podcast, this time about intelligence! https://youtu.be/hppbxV9C63g I discuss some important questions I feel were missing in that conversation, and talk about why we need to be unafraid to delve more into the subject of intelligence, grapple with the likelihood of intelligence being genetic, and therefore develop a better society that does not optimize for just intelligence.

How can we change the world for the better without starting from scratch? Today, I propose four main pillars for just that: Urban Planning, Governance, Economy, and Identity.

Today I share some crazy ideas about the universe and reality! Existentialism warning!! What if our entire existence is ending and starting again constantly??

New research shows how hierarchy developed! I talk about how this shows the importance of environment. I also talk about how the researchers have a mental hierarchy which constrains their thinking. https://scitechdaily.com/challenges-conventional-theory-research-sheds-new-light-on-the-origin-of-civilization/. I also mention how I want to talk more directly about black liberation.

Today I try to piece together my thoughts on mental hierarchy and how it explains a lot about why the anti-abortionists make the arguments they make. I also loop in arguments against objectivity, nuclear family, and so on. Check out this video by Khadija about abortion: https://youtu.be/cdiPloLlBnc and also check out this amazing video from AnRel about hierarchy! https://youtu.be/yANLp_dw1wI

Today, after I share my weekend, I vent about the craziness going on in the US in regards to Row v Wade and the mass shootings in America. Our entire idea of democracy today is a complete joke. It's just not possible to have a democracy or any real freedom when millions of people are forced to live under the same rules and moral codes. Anarchy allows people to be people, to be empathetic, and removes the ability to force people to do what you want. We need anarchy, because that is the only way to ensure the freedom of all people, not just some. We need anarchy because it removes the structures of power. We need anarchy because it's best, historically proven, way to allow people the freedom they desire to exist how they want to exist.

Today I give some updates on personal problems and life stuff. I've had many car problems in the last 2 weeks. I also get into a few other things I've been up to, like helping my partner with her booth at the Southern Fried Pride event and some community building events.

Today, I talk about AI and Google's LaMDA being in the news due to an engineer claiming that it is sentient. I go into a bit of depth about why we should be more concerned about how we understand sentience, why Google is building a natural language tool for general conversations in the first place, and what it might take to build a real artificial intelligence (spoiler: it would probably need to be organic, not stuck in a black box of code). https://youtu.be/2856XOaUPpg also, I can't believe I forgot to mention this, but here is a great video explaining why LaMDA is not sentient and not even AI: https://youtu.be/iBouACLc-hw

Yet another great Lex Fridman interview, this time with Richard Wolff, a professor of economics specialized in Marxism, has inspired this episode. I share some of my thoughts and takeaways from learning about Marx and what he was actually about.

Lex Fridman finally interviews Don Hoffman and his Case Against Reality!! Today, I share my thoughts on that theory.

This episode is largely inspired/in response to yet another great Lex Fridman podcast where he talks with Robin Hanson, an economist who created the Grabby Aliens theory. I share some of the great insights I learned, as well as challenge some things I disagreed with, like the assumption that competition and colonization are good ways of viewing the world or the universe at large.

Updates on work, talks about the importance of community and the destruction of said communities in the 21st century, defining love, and more metaphors about free will .. plus some stuff about ecological technologies!

Probably will delete and rerecord this lafer, but will post it now because I totally forgot to record one today!

I finally attended a meeting for radical activism/community building!! Today, I share my experiences and thoughts around the #stopcopcity movement to defend the Atlanta forest. I attended a meeting where they were discussing the week of action lessons and such.
