I am a quantitative trader in New York City.
This is a blog of random thoughts. I like to post about some combination of rationality, economics, ethical dilemmas, math, chess, and random things where I have a particularly weird take.
I generally consider myself a rationalist, transhumanist, and effective altruist. I graduated from Cornell with a BA in mathematics.

I think that you should buy a book of koans and go around speaking as such. It’s good mind exercise. Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%8Dan
I greatly enjoy following your blog. Although I would like to start my own, I am too lazy to actually commit to one.
Consider me for a(n) apprentice/disciple/follower/minion for varied interests. Please.

I admire your brilliance. I’m a freshman in high school and hope to change the world someday. I aspire to be a person of intelligence, who will change the course of history. Please e-mail me back. If I ever do something in the world someday, I can let people know that I knew you.

I knew you graduated from college but one question why not go to MIT

Hi, I am currently a high school junior in LA. I read some of your posts, and found that most of your view points are akin to mine. I am also an INTP with a genuine interest in math just for the sake of math. Your blog is very inspiring and generates a refreshing oasis in the desert of banalities of some of the surrounding masses. Please, consider me a avid follower of your interesting school of miscellaneous thoughts.
