I am here because someone said this is where I belong.
I’ve wanted to write and never had the time. Recently, I made time. And of all the writing projects that I’ve started over the years, I decided to pickup the philosophical essays because most ideas were fresh and more importantly I knew I could actually deliver a few before the opportunity of time expires.
Before starting to formally post on the internet, I was sending thoughts to friends and family and getting no responses, no pushback, no agreement. I am aware this thinking tends to produce long texts because one is trying to be exact when presenting an argument. In anycase, I told a friend about it, and he said, “it’s because you belong on lesswrong and you are living on x”. (I wasn’t living on x, just lurking, and I had read a couple of essays here without noticing the source. But that’s beside the point.)

I am hoping, he was right.
