Claude says I process my emotions externally. I am interested in events, effective altruism, and gabbing with the girlies (all-inclusive). I also work on the EA Global team @ CEA.

I think it's really beautiful that Elon Musk did all that evil stuff for free, pro-bono evil, no one even paid him to ruin stuff, he just did it out of the evilness of his heart, that's so nice

I have to find a jean jacket my gf will like before she comes to the UK for EAG and takes mine, it's sort of like the race to make AGI if any of you have heard of that but the stakes are even higher because it's my favourite jean jacket

Hello, me again :) I sometimes hear, "effective atlruism is bad because it makes everyone feel guilty," to which I say, "that's fine, guilt is a normal emotion." One dude on twitter found this stupid. After ruminating on that for several months, I have finally posted my defense of guilt ✨
