@Geekymary I have spent way too long thinking about this, please bear with me, this is going to be long.

One key thing we learned from #HogwartsLegacy is that the wizarding world has stayed almost stagnant for over 100 years. The 2000s wizarding world of the books is almost identical to that portrayed in Hogwarts Legacy in the 1870s. What can we conclude? That wizards are probably skeptical about muggle technology and see no need to adopt any of it. In their view, magic gives them all they need. This arrogance is evident because by the Harry Potter era, some muggle technology is ahead of magic. For instance, muggles rely on emails and mobile phones that provide instant communication, but wizards use owl mail, which is slow and cumbersome.

OK, now let's go back to the Uganda idea. Imagine a story set in Uadadou of 2065. Why 2065? Well, Ray Kurzweil predicted that the technological singularity will take place in 2045. The 2065 date gives the post-singularity world 20 years to develop and mature into something incredible! I picture the story happening both in Uadadou and Kampala, much like we get to see London in the Harry Potter books. It makes sense to me that some of the story happens in futuristic Kampala.

What would the story be like in a post-singularity wizarding world? Well, this is where I think it gets very interesting. The citizens of Kampala will be very different from humans today. They will not only inhabit the real world but also the metaverse, much like wizards inhabit the muggle world and the wizarding world. The citizens of Kampala will have neural implants that give them abilities way beyond those of humans today. And the real world is inhabited by sentient objects and tools that are more impressive than the sorting hat! What about the metaverse? The metaverse can be as real as the real world and more magical than the wizarding world. #Muggles will have abilities in the metaverse that no wizard has.

What effect do you think the technological singularity will have on the wizarding world? A complete existential crisis! Wizards had grown used to being the most powerful beings on the planet. But in this new world, they can no longer be confident of that. We know how power-hungry and arrogant some wizards can be, right? We can only safely conclude that there will be one wizard who is determined to regain what they see as their rightful place. This wizard will have no qualms about exploring the most powerful and dangerous magic ever known. And if you think Voldemort was a bit like Darth Vader, this new wizard will be more like Thanos!

The concept of a post-singularity wizarding world is a fascinating and thought-provoking idea. The notion that the technological singularity will have a significant impact on the wizarding world raises many interesting questions and possibilities.I wish to explore them!

Now, admittedly, I'm no #fan, but how has the #HarryPotter franchise not just been dismissed and disregarded as #neoliberal, #hierarchical #bullshit, with its passive defense of the #StatusQuo and trust in a #BenevolentArostocracy to be merciful and kind to #muggles and #MagicalBeings that are deemed an "#other" by the #WizardingWorld? Plus, #JKRowling is a #twat.

@jentaub Let's hope our favorite #Transfiguration teacher won't get drug down with him! Nice to know she is okay with #muggles but she could have better taste.

Had a very #HarryPotter moment trying to find the link rail station which was supposed to be right there according to the map but the building just appeared abandoned and inaccessible to #muggles.

Thanks for a great conference #AAS241! My heart has already gotten ahead of me back to the kiddos.

@louis ... and here is some translation for #Muggles :
