Attenuated Subtleties

Robert A. James is vocationally a lawyer, scholar, and participant in policy conversations on energy, climate, infrastructure, project development, and artificial intelligence.

Rob James is also avocationally an author and speaker on a wilder variety of history, literature, language, science, other classical liberal arts, technology, sports, and what he and friends at Yale Law School in 1982 called attenuated subtleties—“topics made obsolete by time or logic.”

This website houses links to Rob’s books, articles, videos, and other pieces; offers notice of his recent and upcoming activities; and serves as his all-purpose blog.

Enter the wormhole and there is no telling where you might wind up.
