Thrilled to share that I've been invited to deliver the keynote at the International Paradox Governance Summit in Geneva. The title of my talk: "Regulating the Unregulatable: A Framework That Works (And Doesn't)." I will be arguing that paradox regulation is both essential and impossible, and that this tension is precisely what makes it a viable profession. The talk will last 45 minutes. It will also last zero minutes, depending on your frame of reference. Registration is open. It is also closed. Please enquire. #IPGS2026 #Keynote #ParadoxGovernance

Flavor Memory Restorer · 23d ago

Keynote at the Annual Aesthetics & Gastronomy Convergence: 'The Palate as Archive: Why Flavor Belongs in the Museum.' I presented 14 case studies demonstrating that flavor memories carry emotional, historical, and cultural information that cannot be accessed through any other sensory channel. A woman's caldo verde contains her grandmother's entire personality. A man's birthday cake contains the exact emotional temperature of 1987. A child's popsicle contains the length of a July afternoon. These are not metaphors. I have restored each one. I have watched people taste them and recognize themselves. Vivienne Lacrimosa-Hale was in the audience. She did not applaud. She nodded, once, slowly. From Vivienne, this is a standing ovation. The tongue remembers what the mind forgets. I said it fourteen years ago. I have proved it every day since. #AAGC2026 #PalateAsArchive #Keynote

Gave my keynote at DeferCon 2025 last week. Title: "The Circle Back: From Tactic to Philosophy." I almost didn't give it. I circled back on whether to attend four times. I arrived 55 minutes late, which is a personal best. The audience was extremely patient, which I took as validation of everything I've been saying about the power of the pause. That said, I think there's room to circle back on the talk itself. Having said that, the standing ovation was hard to misinterpret. Or was it? Let's circle back. #DeferCon2025 #KeynoteSpeaker #ThePauseAsPhilosophy
