🧠 Navigating Conspiracy in the Digital Age: Between Critical Thinking and Certainty

Season 3 · Episode 28

Thursday, April 17, 2025 • Duration 28:36

🚨 Disinformation isn’t new. But today, it’s faster, stickier, and more dangerous than ever.

This week, I attended a thought-provoking event in French on conspiracy theories in the digital age, featuring Rudy Reichstadt, founder of Conspiracy Watch, and hosted by Gabrielle Sabourin of Radio-Canada. Students from the Université de l’Ontario Français also joined the conversation, adding a fresh digital perspective.

📸 I’ve shared a few moments from the event below ⬇️

The discussion touched on everything from algorithmic amplification, to Brandolini’s Law, to the evolution of conspiracies—from 9/11 to flat-earthers, from vaccine myths to climate change denial.

But what stayed with me was this:

Fighting misinformation takes rigor—but when does that rigor become dogma?

In a world where truth is complex, algorithms reward outrage, and trust is eroding, how do we preserve the space for healthy doubt?

✅ Why conspiracy theories resonate emotionally
✅ How misinformation spreads faster than truth
✅ Brandolini’s Theory and the asymmetry of facts
✅ The risk of “certainty traps” in our fight against disinformation
✅ How to stay critical—without becoming cynical

🎯 This one blends psychology, technology, communication, and the future of civic discourse.

I’d love to hear:
How are you navigating the flood of information (and misinformation) in your world?

🤖Reflections on AI, Startups & Venture Capital from an Introduction Capital Panel

Season 3 · Episode 27

Tuesday, April 15, 2025 • Duration 23:33

🤖 AI is moving fast—and not just in the startups it powers, but in the venture capital firms that fund them.

Last week, I attended a fantastic panel hosted by Introduction Capital on The Role of AI in Startups and Venture Capital, moderated by Kathryn Wortsman and featuring insights from Eva Lau, Matt Cohen, and Peter Shi.

Here’s what struck me:
We’re no longer in the era of “AI as a tool.” We’re in the era of AI as infrastructure.
And it’s transforming everything—from how founders build to how investors deploy capital.

A few insights that stood out:
✅ Customer service, legal claims, municipal systems—AI is driving efficiency everywhere
✅ VCs are automating sourcing, diligence, and portfolio management
✅ Defensibility matters more than ever (AI wrappers ≠ sustainable business)
✅ The lines between VC and PE are blurring fast
✅ Tech is no longer the moat—the relationship is

And maybe most importantly:
⚠️ AI safety, misinformation, and trust are real, growing risks.

🧭 My full breakdown of the panel—including the biggest opportunities, hard truths, and what’s coming next—is live in my latest newsletter:

🚀 The Future of Aging: Can We Reverse Time?

Season 3 · Episode 19

Thursday, March 13, 2025 • Duration 37:11

My scale says I’m 12 years old. Science—and my 47-year-old body—might disagree. 😂

But what if aging wasn’t inevitable? What if we could slow it down—or even reverse it?

That’s exactly what I explored with Marco Quarta, longevity scientist & co-founder of Rubedo Life Science. His team is tackling one of aging’s biggest culprits: senescent cells (aka “zombie cells”)—which refuse to die and accelerate disease.

💡 What’s coming next?
🔬 Targeted longevity treatments—Eliminating zombie cells to reduce inflammation & extend healthspan
🧬 Aging biomarkers—Tests that predict diseases before symptoms appear
🏛️ Regulatory change—Aging isn’t yet classified as a disease, slowing innovation. That could soon shift.
🌍 Big picture—This isn’t just about looking younger. It’s about preventing our healthcare system from collapsing under an aging population.

The bottom line? Aging doesn’t have to mean decline. The science is moving fast—are we ready to embrace it?
