Law Punx – Wordsmith’s Ross McNairn

Welcome to another Law Punx blast. This week, Ross McNairn, CEO of Wordsmith, talks about his company’s strategic choices.

To watch the blast, please press Play, or you can go to the AL TV Channel also. Enjoy. It’s short and punchy.

AL TV, 2026, note: this is a new and shorter edit.

A Note on Open Debate

Open debate is the cornerstone of any healthy society. Having views that conflict with others’ views is all part of democratically, and one could argue scientifically, moving forward.

AL has long believed in the classical maxim of ‘thesis, antithesis, synthesis’. I.e. you state X is the way, I say, no, it’s Y, we test out those ideas and find that in reality a little of X and a little of Y are both true, even if initially they seemed 100% at loggerheads, and so we reach a new, more elevated understanding. That’s how we evolve.

Also, Law Punx Recordings

AL has decided to focus these on the main site here and also on the AL TV Channel, rather than spread them across Spotify etc.

Also, if you’ve recorded a Law Punx episode and AL has not published it yet, then it won’t be coming out. This is because although some really smart folks have shared their thoughts; after listening back, AL concluded that those episodes were just not ‘punky enough’, not rip-roaring enough, not a baseball bat right between the eyes enough. So, I will be reaching out again to see if you’d like to do a new more forthright and challenging blast.

Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy this Law Punx blast.
