Gotta start music nerdout dinners — find people passionate about music, set up a dinner at someone’s house and each person comes with a 6-8 song playlist to share with the group over good speakers @flexiblefoodie, u in?

When I first started talking with @mattyj612 a couple years ago, it transformed my life. Through conversations about games and the art of agency, statecraft, Frederick Gardiner, air pumps, leviathans, and lithography, he brought me into dialogue with the history of technologies and the wider culture they interact with. I've seen him do this for hundreds of people. If you work in technology. If you are an engineer, a designer, or a writer. If you are interested in the technical marvels that seem to constantly drag us into a new reality. Come join the conversation on May 27th during Toronto Tech Week. There is nothing stopping you from engaging with the paradigms and background beliefs that shape the world long before our tools arrive.
We’ve been telling the story of technology backwards. Our tools take center stage, but these artifacts are the lagging indicators of progress, not the drivers. What propels the world forward is dialogue, a swirling conversation across generations about what it means to be human. You have been part of this conversation your entire life. You just haven't been formally introduced. On May 27th, during @TOTechWeek we invite you to join The Great Conversation, a lecture about how technologists shape history. Hosted with @ambitionlabsinc, @NotionHQ, @cursor_ai, @AmbrookAG, @colossusmag, @psumvc, and many more. Tickets on sale now!

We are told to maximize our agency, to "just do things." But how do we know which things are worth doing? On May 27th, we will gather at Isabel Bader Theatre to answer that question together. The Toronto Society, irid, and Wygo present The Great Conversation, a lecture by Matthew Jordan. thegreatconversation.ca

On Jan 23, our movie will be in 500 theaters across the world Goal: $1M box office. Problem: we’re trying to do it with a $0 marketing budget. The plan? Give away a % of box office to anyone crazy enough to join our team for the next 5 weeks… Dm me if this gets you excited.

This weekend: dissecting a single Toronto intersection from top to bottom. No infrastructure left unturned. Cables, wires, cameras. Streetcars, hydro, sewage. Traffic, cycling, water. A city block: an engineering marvel. (4 dates; see calendar!) lu.ma/jv6ag3l6
