The Conversation is where I think and explore in public. Some of what you’ll find here will be fully formed. Some of it won’t. That’s intentional.
This section is where I work through ideas about law, learning, AI, and communication as they’re developing. You will not find polished law review articles here (though some longer essays may drift in that direction). Instead, these posts are my honest attempts to understand how people think and work in a world that’s changing faster than our institutions.
Thinking Out Loud (With Intention)
If you’re looking for tidy conclusions every time, you may be disappointed. If you’re interested in watching ideas take shape (and sharing your thoughts), you’re in the right place.
I reserve the right to evolve my thinking over time, especially when it comes to AI and related technologies. Not because I lack conviction, but because pretending certainty in a rapidly changing space is usually a sign that someone stopped paying attention.
AI is one of those topics where confidence (or over confidence?) often arrives before understanding. I’m trying to do the opposite here: learn out loud, test assumptions, and revise positions when the evidence, or experience, demands it.
That doesn’t mean this is a journal. It means this is a conversation grounded in judgment, teaching, and real-world use, not hype or hot takes.
What I’ll Be Writing About
You’ll see recurring threads throughout this section, including:
- Judgment in an AI-shaped world
The core question running through everything here: how humans make good decisions when powerful tools are always in the room. This includes when to rely on AI, when to resist it, and how to remain accountable for outcomes that still require human judgment. - AI-Assisted Lawyering
A central idea on this site. Not “AI replaces lawyers,” and not “ban AI and hope it goes away,” but how lawyers can integrate AI ethically and responsibly—while keeping professional judgment firmly in control. - Clear communication, health literacy, and informed decision-making
How people actually read and understand information, especially when the stakes are high, and why clarity is an ethical obligation rather than a stylistic preference. - AI fundamentals for humans
Plain-language explanations of how modern AI systems actually work, where they tend to fail, and what people need to understand before trusting them with serious tasks. Less hype, more literacy.
Some posts will be short and pointed. Others will be longer and more reflective. A few may take be dialogues or structured explorations rather than traditional essays. The common thread is that everything here is meant to be understandable, grounded, and useful.
What This Is (and Isn’t)
This isn’t a marketing site. It’s not a personal brand megaphone. And it’s definitely not a place where I pretend to have final answers to complicated questions.
It is a place where I test ideas before teaching them, build frameworks before formalizing them, and try to model the kind of careful thinking I want to see in the world.
If something here helps you think a little more clearly, write a little more plainly, or use technology a little more responsibly, then this site is doing its job.That’s the conversation. We’re just getting started.
Reader’s Note: If you are looking for the part of the site that focuses more on teaching and learning, check out The Classroom.
