Philosophy Mondays: Values

In today's Philosophy Monday we continue with the program set out several weeks ago in the post on judgment. There we concluded that evaluating actions cannot possibly be easy and that we should not attempt to reduce it to a mechanical or categorical approach. The obvious question then is what is an alternative that might be more suitable given the limitations of our knowledge? Today we introduce values as the guides to morality. The word value has a lot of different meanings -- it is an exam...

Does AI allow us to return to the art of craft?

As AI tools become more accessible, some fear the loss of skill and craft. But what if the opposite is happening? This piece explores how AI might be raising the baseline, pushing creators to develop deeper expertise, and how widespread access can actually increase appreciation for refined, intentional work. In a world of mass creation, craft, skill, and artistry may not disappear—they may become more valuable than ever.

Today we were impersonated. Someone created a fake Farcaster account and launched not one but two Clankers pretending to be us. This could have gone very badly.

Canada's housing shortage is nuanced

This is an important chart taken from this recent article by Steve Lafleur talking about the need for Canada to "bulk up." What it obviously shows is that housing completions and population growth have generally been diverging in Canada since the 1970s. Back then, we were building about 200,000 homes a year and, today, we're building slightly under that. Of course, our population has also grown dramatically during this time period, as has the number of people who move to Canada each year. The...

100 million Canadians by 2100 is not actually that ambitious

My recent post titled "Canada must become a global superpower" has quickly become one of my most-read posts in the almost 12 years that I have been writing this daily blog. Within a few days, it quickly got to 11x the number of daily views that I typically get. One of the points that I made was about Canada's population, and specifically the target set by the Century Initiative of 100 million Canadians by 2100. Today I'd like to expand on this point, because I'm seeing more people talk about ...

Agile (Physical!) Infrastructure Development

You've heard about agile software development, right? The web 2.0 manifesto usurped the upper echelons of high technology and overthrew the waterfall crowned kings of the 1990's internet. I'd like to share an example of what we can call agile infrastructure development. Here I don't mean servers or data warehouses or any backend bits or bytes. I mean moving actual atoms. Specifically essential infrastructure and more specifically a stormwater recharge facility in my hometown, a humble ditch w...

Toronto has the best laneway sushi

I love Toronto. It's my favorite city. And every so often, there will be a moment that explicitly reminds me why I love it so much. That happened yesterday when I walked down a laneway off College Street to find a somewhat hidden sushi spot called Oroshi Fish Co. Right away I was delighted by the combination of the small street and the mix of uses housed on it. But then, I walked inside to find two guys manhandling the carcass of an enormous bluefin tuna, and that's when I really said to myse...

The Case for Data Ownership: A Moral Imperative

Who owns your data? In an era where corporations profit from personal information, the fight for data ownership has never been more urgent. This article explores the philosophical, legal, and economic case for treating personal data as property, drawing from Kant, Locke, and Proudhon to argue for autonomy in the digital age.

The Slow Hunch Podcast: Episode 8 with Fred Wilson & Brad Burnham

I recently had the privilege of sitting down with my partners Fred Wilson and Brad Burnham for an episode of The Slow Hunch podcast, and I'm excited to share our conversation. This one was special for me. Having worked alongside Fred and Brad for over a dozen years at USV, I've experienced firsthand what makes them such remarkable investors and partners. Our conversation takes us back to the beginning of USV and traces the winding path that led to the firm we know today. What strikes me most ...
