Being Human in a World That Prices Everything

The conversion of humans into tradable assets did not begin with blockchain. It is older than any technology we might blame. Whenever a system needs to allocate resources, predict behavior, or extract value, it develops methods to render persons as comparable units. The mechanisms vary—ledgers, algorithms, scores, tokens—but the operation remains constant: reduce a human to a legible instrument whose worth can be calculated by others.

The public health case for eliminating human drivers

We've been talking a lot about autonomous vehicles, and in particular Waymo, on this blog. In my opinion, the safety records — which Waymo has published after driving more than 100 million driverless miles — already suggest that none of us should be driving cars anymore. Some or many of you will disagree with this statement, but there's a reason why car crashes are the number two cause of death for children and young adults in the US. So not only is this a tech breakthrough and a profound cit...

The widespread use of digital technologies has given law enforcement brand new opportunities to use sophisticated tools for detecting crimes. That said, simply because technology has opened up new pathways for investigation does not mean that we should use them in ways that violate personal privacy.

Investment Needs Speculation

I didn't learn much in business school. For me, it was a way to move from being an engineer to an investor. And as such, it was super valuable. As an education, not so much. It did lead to MBA Mondays, which was a ton of fun to write. But I digress. There are a few occasions in business school that were "aha moments" for me. One was in a class called "Speculative Markets." The professor explained that speculating and hedging were two sides of a trade. And that there would not be hedging witho...

Thoughts on Toronto's Major Street grid

This map, showing the right-of-way widths of Toronto's major streets, is one of my favorite maps. It tells you so much about the scale of the city. Even if you were entirely unfamiliar with Toronto, you could look at this map and gather from the width and spacing of its major arteries that the orange streets (20 meters) represent the oldest parts of Toronto and that the red streets (36 meters) represent the newer and more suburban parts of the city. It's also interesting to think about this m...

Unmediated Thoughts

Writer Coins and the Crisis of Funding Journalism

Digital media has spent the last two decades trying to reinvent the economics of writing, and yet the industry remains stuck in a strange paradox: more people read news than ever before, but fewer are willing or able to pay for it. Out of this dilemma has emerged a new idea known as “writer coins.” The concept borrows from cryptocurrency logic and turns readership interest into a tradeable token that can support journalists directly. I recently experimented with this by launching a MAZ coin f...

I am working to build passive income through internet-based businesses to sustainably support my ability to continue to work on whatever I want. I am approaching a stage of life when I understand it can become harder to continue prioritizing working on what I want versus trading some of my autonomy for a job which will more dependably earn significant income. This “stage” that I speak of involves buying a house with a mortgage, having kids, and starting to build a family, all of which tend to...
