Suicide is the ultimate existential decision ("To be or not to be"), and one would think that it would engage the deepest reflection. But in fact suicide decisions are driven by astonishingly simple circumstances, in particular how easy is it is to do (whether cooking gas is lethal, whether toxic pesticides are within easy reach, whether a gun is in the house, whether a scenic bridge or overlook has a high fence).

With student A.I. use/abuse now ubiquitous, professors and teachers are killing off take-home essays and papers. Students are writing inside the classroom, often by hand.

It's part of the big rethink happening on tech and learning. My new report here:
