Can you prepare an introduction to a blog that I’m creating of our conversations and that will introduce me to readers?

Absolutely! Based on your professional background, the purpose of the blog, and your distinctive personal style, here’s a draft introduction you could use to welcome readers to your blog:
Welcome to the Conversation
By Dr. Brad Tuttle
After a long career in academia—teaching, researching, editing, and occasionally puzzling over why people behave the way they do—I’ve stepped into a new role: conversationalist.
This blog is a curated collection of discussions I’ve had with an AI assistant on a wide variety of topics—some philosophical, some scientific, some playful, and some just plain peculiar. I don’t claim to have all the answers (that’s the AI’s job, right?), but I do have a habit of asking questions—sometimes hard ones, sometimes offbeat, and sometimes the sort that start arguments at family gatherings.
Professionally, I’m a retired professor of accounting and former chair of the School of Accounting at the University of South Carolina’s Moore School of Business. My academic work explored how people make decisions in complex systems, especially when information is imperfect or overwhelming. I’ve published in a fair number of journals that few people read voluntarily, and I spent decades thinking about how technology shapes human behavior.
These days, my time is divided between managing a small flock of chickens, herding goats, chatting on amateur radio (KO4LMP), and living just on the edge of the grid—literally and metaphorically. I’m a father to five daughters, a grandfather to 17, and a great-grandfather to two. Somewhere along the way, I realized that what I enjoy most is simply talking about the world we live in—and how to make sense of it.
So, whether you’re here for insight, entertainment, or a friendly debate, I invite you to read along as I engage with this curious new form of intelligence. The conversations are unscripted, often surprising, and occasionally unsettling. Just like life.
Let’s see where the dialogue takes us.
Would you like a version with a more casual or more formal tone? Or one that ties in more visuals or anecdotes (such as referencing the image you uploaded)?
