I’ve been lurking since May 2009. My views on some issues that are often brought up on LW are:
It’s a good idea to sign up to cryonics if you have the money, due to a Pascal’s Wager type argument. I have not signed up, since I do not yet have the money (and AFAIK there are further complications due to being in Australia).
It is possible and desirable for humans to create AGI.
MWI seems intuitive to me, but I have not read enough about the subject to form an decent estimate on its correctness.
I feel like I should pad out this intro with more information, but that’ll have to do for now.

No, this is fine—thanks for commenting!
