Over the years I’ve observed how effective computer writing tends to be. Prior to undergrad, I was nearly exclusively handwriting. I took a picture some years back of how many journals piled up from the notes and full-length pieces. Quite the collection. [Can no longer find it.] Thinking about it now, …
Ancestral Prayer Technology
When you think of praying, what comes to mind? An image of a nun or priest, dressed in black. Are they kneeling in church at a pew? Hands folded, supplicating in front of an extravagantly detailed cross? Zoom in on their faces. Are they happy, smiling, or scowling, focused, pensive? …
Perspectives on the Mini-Computer
Just a few: 1. This mini-computer in my hand has potential to reach a billion people on the planet. 2. I can reach a billion people with this mini-computer sitting crossed-legged on the floor while sounding off my singing bowl. Or while drinking tea. 3. With just a word processor, …
How to Apply Wakandan Philosophy to Amplify Self-Education
The Black Panther movie needs no building up from this blog. I watched it twice and (don’t worry; no spoilers in this piece) enjoyed its story, nuances and found the work to be a valuable addition to the Panther’s universe, broadly introduced in the Avengers movie. If you haven’t watched …

There are numerous techniques for writing but what I find to be most challenging for people is the literal production; taking the ideas from the mind onto some medium that can be tangibly used. It’s my observation that we generate many ideas daily; we’re constantly thinking so there isn’t an …
Pepper, Sophia & The Creative Powers
I attended an event at The Japan Society earlier this summer, to see the display of the AI robot Pepper. The system is built with a humanoid-type upper body and a lower body that’s more machine-looking. Pepper doesn’t have a face (yet), but it’s capable of interacting with people, recognizing …
5 Common Self-Limiting Programs to Conquer
“I wish I could do that.” “That’s impossible for me.” “I can’t be that good.” “If only I had xyz…” “I was never good at xyz.” These mind programs operate at the subconscious level, enabling them to spread their influence throughout daily life. Much more impact-ful than the spectacular feats …
Technology & Cultural Connection
One of the most influential creations in science fiction was Star Trek. Centering on the Starship Enterprise, Captain Kirk and his crew traversed the known universe in search of new life and knowledge. The show stimulated the minds of future science fiction writers and futurists who envisioned far-out worlds and …
