Exploring the Fermi Paradox & Podcast Updates
May 15, 2025
Hey there,
Welcome to the latest edition of my newsletter! This week, I'm excited to share some thoughts on my recent podcast appearance discussing the Fermi Paradox, plus updates on upcoming episodes and Toronto Web3 events.
Recent Podcast Appearance
I recently had the pleasure of joining Aimm's Podcast to discuss the Fermi Paradox and cosmic conspiracy theories. We explored questions like: If aliens showed up, would you teach them meme wars or explode Coke bottles with Mentos? It was a fun dive into speculative topics with a grounded perspective.
You can listen to the episode here.
Upcoming Podcast Episodes
I'm excited to announce that Episode 11 of "Is This The New Internet?" is coming soon! I'll be speaking with Dr. Sarah Chen about the intersection of AI and decentralized networks. We'll explore how these technologies can complement each other rather than compete.
Stay tuned for the release next week!
Toronto Web3 Events
If you're in Toronto, here are some upcoming events you might want to check out:
- Web3 Toronto Meetup - May 20th at The Spoke Club
- ETH Toronto Hackathon - May 24-26th at MaRS Discovery District
- Crypto & Coffee - Every Saturday morning at Dark Horse Espresso
What I'm Reading
I've been diving into "The Ministry for the Future" by Kim Stanley Robinson. It's a fascinating exploration of how we might address climate change through a mix of political, economic, and technological solutions. Highly recommended for anyone interested in speculative fiction with real-world implications.
Toronto Drum & Bass Scene
For those who share my love of drum & bass, don't miss the upcoming event at CODA on May 22nd featuring some incredible local talent. The Toronto D&B scene continues to thrive, and I'm always happy to connect with fellow enthusiasts.
Until Next Time
That's all for this edition! As always, feel free to reply directly to this email with any thoughts, questions, or topics you'd like me to cover in future newsletters.
Stay curious,
Marvyn
