12,000 years ago, all of Toronto was covered in a mile-high glacier. Over time, the earth warmed and the glacier began to melt. For centuries, fast-rushing glacial water carved out enormous valleys, leaving Toronto with the largest ravine system of any city in the world.

You *gotta* explore your city. A few years ago, I moved to Toronto. Growing up in the suburbs, coming to Toronto was always exciting—stadiums and skyscrapers, family and festivals—but living here turned out to be pretty dispiriting. Toronto felt like a place without a history.

Many things are meaningful because they are effortful: hand written thank you notes, in-person visits, a home cooked meal. If you make them more efficient (form-filled thank you, Zoom call, Uber Eats), they become less special. Roughly: "If it's frictionless, it's meaningless."

But as I began to explore by bike & by foot, I realized what makes this city special. It’s a city of ravines, waterways, and urban ecology. The colonial history is just a blip—Toronto's history stretches back to the last ice age and the arrival of humans over 10,000 years ago.

This week, I released my lectures on privacy, bias, and the use of AI in medicine and the law. Dig in to learn: - Why the US census will be purposely inaccurate - The unsettling origins of the mugshot - What the heck "the law" is - Why the NSA spies on Angry Birds players

This is an exciting time to be in Toronto. Our city’s infrastructure and ecology are evolving rapidly. If we want to understand the present & positively shape the future, we must begin by being rooted in the past. That’s my goal with these tours. I’m honoured you’re joining.

I just finished The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes, one of the most important and awe-inspiring books I've ever read. Its scope is as multifaceted as its protagonist: atomic physics, military history, scientific biography, and ethics abound.

The past two years, I've participated in @joininteract . Interact is a Fellowship that brings ultra-ambitious, mega-brilliant, super-creative young people from around the world (and, somehow, me) to San Francisco for 3 days. I'm always heckin' inspired by the people I meet there.
