Hello everybody, I’m Stefano from Italy. I’m 30, and my story about becoming a rationalist is quite tortuous… as a kid I was raised as a christian, but not strictly so: my only obligation was to attend mass every sunday morning. At the same time since young age I was fond of esoteric and scientific literature… With hindsight, I was a strange kid: by the age of 13 I already knew quite a lot about such things as the Order of the Golden Dawn or General Relativity… My fascination with computer and artificial intelligence begun approximately at the same age, when I met a teacher that first taught me how to program: I then realized that this would be one of my greatest passion. To cut short a long story, during the years I discarded all the esoteric nonsense (by means of… well, experiments) and proceeded to explore deeper and deeper within physics, math and AI.
I found this site some month ago, and after a reasonable recognition and after having read a fair amount of the sequences, I feel ready to contribute… so here I am.
