I recently found this while moving to take a new role as Asst Prof at @uw_law and reflected on how if it weren't for this @CHPIllinois class with Tom Ulen in 2004 whether I'd even be teaching and writing in law and economics today. So sad to hear of Tom's passing, he was such a generous mentor and insightful scholar.

Always a pleasure to speak at a favorite event, @StanfordLaw Blockchain Governance Summit hosted by @jeff_strnad - I talked about the institutional privacy dilemma (w. @CossarSofia), Opacity as Constitutional Capacity (w. F. Carugati) and my own work on Digital Constitutionalism
Looking forward to discussing my work (w. @CossarSofia) on ZKPs and privacy rights in the digital age at the Shielding Summit here in Bangkok!

Such fun to discuss my @ethereum Summer of Protocols research on killswitches with @TBSocialist
TLDR: engineering complex systems tends to include a need for a recursive override, also called circuit breakers and failsafes!

For my view on blockchain's role for a digital social future in creating an asset layer outside the direct control of the platform intermediary, see papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
Fun stuff talking about principles of governance design with GLF.digital attendees. A lot of this is forthcoming more formally in MIT's Computational Law Report...
