A New Age

 My name is Aja. 

Your personal Supernova Tech. - a name chosen because it reflects what I believe: That even in the cold logic of technology, there's room for something explosive, radiant and deeply human. 

This blog is about Surviving Babylon. This is not just a place, but a state of being. 

Ancient Babylon, with its towers and gods, was once a marvel of civilization. Yet it became the very symbol of disconnection from the divine, from nature, and from the self. 

This intended experience of this blog proves that Babylon is still among us. It lives in our timelines, our policies, our politics. It pulses through surveillance capitalism, data-mined identities, and the dream of infinite growth. Babylon is the noise in our minds, the algorithms shaping our desires, the institutions that sell us meaning while stripping away truth. 

This space was born from both curiosity and concern. I found myself watching how algorithms began to shape not just what we see but who we are. The more I observe the pattern in society, the more I began to wonder --- are we programming the technology, or is it reprogramming us? 

So, I created this blog to explore that question and a thousand others like it. It is a place to pause and look inward, even as we hurtle forward in a tech-driven world. Here, I'll reflect on identity and self-agency, digital consciousness, data trails, and what it means to be human in this day.

I'm not writing this from a podium of expertise--- I am writing from the trenches of experience, reflection, and endless tabs open on my browser. This blog is my way of journaling out loud, testing ideas, and building bridges--- between the self and the system, the analog and the algorithm. I believe in asking questions more than giving answers. And I believe you're here because something in this world, circuits and signals, feels personal to you, too. 

Lets explore the topic of Surviving Babylon in the 21st century to not only endure, but to awaken.

Internal Algorithm

  My name is Aja, your personal supernova tech.  I study Computer Science and the world of large language models.   Can you imagine what the largest data model is?  Probably billions of rows of information.   I come with a new set of questions about the human brain's consciousness compared to the evolving algorithm of the internet.         Think of the human brain not as a stationary organ but as an evolving organic algorithm. Much like a computer program that continuously refines itself based on incoming data, our minds are always calculating, weighing options, comparing outcomes, and updating beliefs. Wouldn’t it be nice to think like a computer? Computers intake data, recognize patterns, and adjust their responses over time. But instead of being coded by developers, our brains are “programmed” by experience—layer upon layer of sensory input, emotion, and memory shaping our every thought and reaction.     We are not born...

Historical blueprint for Woman

Image
Long before the term “career” existed, women were working, gathering, crafting, trading, and healing. In early civilizations like Mesopotamia and Egypt, women brewed beer, wove textiles, and ran market stalls. Some, like the priestesses of Isis or the queens of Minoan Crete, held spiritual and political power. In biblical times, women like Ruth gleaned in fields to feed their families, while Deborah led armies and judged a nation. These weren’t exceptions—they were echoes of a truth: women have always labored, often invisibly, always indispensably.  The 19th-century woman brought machines into factories. Textile mills hired young women like my grandmother for low wages, sparking early labor movements. In Lowell, Massachusetts, women formed the first female labor unions. They weren’t just working—they were organizing, demanding dignity in the workplace.  During the World War era, men went to fight and women went to work. By the 1970s, women were entering professions once c...
