The faster the world changes, the more we must turn to timeless truths: the fragility of knowledge, the centrality of face-to-face collaboration, the wisdom of tradition.
We are all influenced arcane scribblings of the past; we are all the wearers of "cerulean sweaters". To know this history is to move more freely through the world; dialogue with the past empowers us to shape the future.
What a privilege to bring people together in Toronto to discuss these ideas alongside @_benjaminparry and @jiamixue, hosted on Wygo by @jossmurphyy, featuring the gorgeous design of @anthea_irl, a beautiful livestream led by @looeegee, and a full-blown book fair.
This was the beginning of a dialogue we hope to carry forward in Toronto for the rest of our lives. It is an honour to be part of The Great Conversation with all of you.
Stay tuned for the full video & written lecture in the next few weeks.
From dropping out of university, to pro gaming, to community college, to getting accepted to Stanford...I still don't believe it. PLEASE take this as a sign to chase your dreams. You are not too old, and you are not behind.
hi guys 🙂
this was a hard decision for me because im both polish/american, and embrace both sides. Ultimately, I chose to represent Poland as my Dad did in the Olympics, and he was the one who introduced me to league in the first place. Thank you and I hope you can support me!
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.

to the people who dedicated 8+ months and countless hours into this symposium, we thank you.
this event would not have been possible without your work.
months of late nights and big dreams went into this symposium, and I am so grateful for everyone on the team
going to remember this weekend for a long, long time
Thankful for everyone for everything we did for each other to pull off this year’s Socratica Symposium. Every single person who contributed should be proud of what we managed to do and how much fun we had while doing it.
It takes a village, truly.
Every part of the symposium is someone's demo. From the AV, to food, ticketing, and logistics. You get to see only 10 demos on the stage, but it's only possible because of the demoers working behind the scenes.
