My name is Joni, I’m 21 years old, I study mathematics at Helsinki University, Finland, I’m male...
So, yeah. Reason behind my interest in rationality would probably be something that is likely to earn me ADHD-diagnosis in near future. Since I’ve been mentally impaired to some weird degree, I’ve tried to find a Way to overcome that. My earlier efforts weren’t all that effective, but now that I found a site that gathers results of systematic study around this field, I expect a lot.
My school grades were about medium throughout my life. I enjoy a board game called “go” a lot, and I used it to find and eliminate some biases and cognitive mistakes(I’m Finnish shodan). Other than math, I like psychology, I also find transhumanism very interesting topic, and I have many times thought that I could make my own super-AI. I like computers, I know superfically some programming languages, but I haven’t had any larger projects on any real languages(Some 500 line scripts occasionally).
I found this site through irc-channel for Finnish transhumanist movement. Whole notion of “refining the art of human rationality” was like a dream come true. I try to avoid commenting to avoid quality of discussion dropping, so for the months to come, I’ll be mostly doing my homework to gather some basic knowledge.

Welcome, Joni! People who can do math are always welcome here.
