• the home page of Eliezer Yudkowsky
• the home page of Jason Gaverick Matheny

Information about me

I am...

• interested in global catastrophic risks, especially existential risks
• also interested in learning and thinking about quite an unnecessarily diverse range of less-important topics

• a former (semi-)professional poker player (was boring, but relatively easy money)
• a former student of various mathematical subjects who didn't bother to graduate
• currently [this changed recently, I'll update this page properly later]

I have...

• co-founded the Finnish Transhumanist Association
• contributed financially to SIAI
• a brief introduction to why supporting them is the best use of my money I've been able to think of (if you click only one link on this page, I recommend this one)
• a slight preference for vegan food
