I’ve been reading LW and HN for a while now but have only just started to learn to participate. I’m 23, ostensibly hold a bachelor’s in economics, and interested in way too much—a dilettante of sorts. Unfortunately I have the talent of being able to sound like I know stuff just by quickly reading around a subject.
Pretty much have always been a Traditional Rationalist; kind of treated the site discussions as random (if extremely high impact) insights. Getting interested in Bayesian modeling sort of sent me on a path here. Lots of Eliezer’s Coming of Age sequence reminds me of myself. Is 23 the magical age for Bayesian Enlightenment?
My current interest is in the Art of Strategy, in the way Musashi set down.
Just discovered the sequences and some recommended books! Think I’m going to be sidetracked for a while now...
