I was born in 1993. The next 15 years were kind of a blur. In 2008, I started keeping a journal to make up for my atrocious memory. Since then, I’ve written millions of words about my life and thoughts.
I graduated from Yale in 2015, with a degree in cognitive science. After that, I worked for Epic, then became a freelance writer, tutor, and consultant to a private charitable foundation. I’m now at the Centre for Effective Altruism, working to improve the world as much as I can.
My interests include rationality, effective altruism, physical fitness, and the hazy concepts of “communication” and “collaboration” — helping people work together and be nice to each other, despite the fact that we all live alone inside our own heads.
I keep reviews, ratings, and playlists on Goodreads, IMDB, and Spotify.
In fact, these might be more useful than my blog, since I expect you to like the best things I’ve read, seen, or heard more than you like anything that I’ve created. Bon appetit!
I donate at least 10% of my salary to charity.
I’ve attempted two NaNoWriMos and written 1.5 terrible novels.
