Hi! Thanks for reading my blog. This is my digital garden. Some topics that I find interesting are:

• rationality and effective altruism
• information security and hacking
• biology, particularly related to stopping aging
• languages, accents, how to learn languages fast
• dangerous skills (e.g. martial arts)

I used to write the Becoming Overhuman blog, which I then renamed into Sunday Stopwatch, which I then transferred here. You can read the old posts there.

You can read most of the content of this page on LessWrong as well, but not all of it (not all I write about is related to rationality).

See the now page to see what I’m doing right now.
