I am 20 years old, male, and graduating college this fall with a BA in Philosophy. I am aiming to go to grad-school, specializing in something to help bring about a friendly singularity. I have been reading Lesswrong for about two years and it has been of enormous use in regulating my thought-patterns. Unfortunately, I am currently in a small Bible-Belt city, far away from any meetup groups. I am currently working on my studies in 20th century philosophy, while trying to incorporate useful subjects which many contemporary philosophers ignore. (My Philosophy of Science textbook had a very poor chapter on Bayesianism, which is okay since the instructor ignored the subject anyway.) Aside from the 20th century work, I am teaching myself Python, Bayesian theory, and basic psychology.
Greetings.
