ABOUT ME

Recently I've been doing research to prevent large scale disasters. Before that I did research into improving human cognition and determining precisely what it is that humans value and helping found a nonprofit while "couchsurfing" for 5 months. Before that I of worked with an artificial intelligence research institute doing research, teaching, and strategy. The opportunities there were unparalleled. I got to live (in room with 5 other people) and work with more than 70 people: two International Math Olympiad bronze medalists, several authors, and a few startup founders.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Burning man in 2010. It was the most intense experience of my life and words fail me. Cupping fire in my hands, getting caught in a dust storm, riding art cars, getting mesmerized by the scintillating waves of color, improvising a dance while waiting in line, and the camaraderie and fellowship of the other Burners.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to teach how to blues dance, read body language, think about the meaning of life, explore subjective experience, and enjoy life in new ways.

I'd like to learn what you like to do and try it out.

I'd like to share my network of allies and friends and help people find each other.
