Hi, I’m Alison. I was once a professional tarot reader and astrologer in spite of having a science degree. I recovered from that over 15 years ago and feel it would be valuable for more people to understand how I came to do it and how I changed my mind. I’m also a 45 year old woman, which makes me feel in a tiny minority on LW—though I may be mistaken.
I spent some time trying and failing to fit into a skeptic community and have been reading large chunks of the sequences for the last year or so, as well as books like Risk: The Science and Politics of Fear (and been thoroughly sucked into HPMOR).
Topics I’m particularly interested in include tackling global warming, rationality from the perspecitive of people with mental health issues and tackling irrationality while maintaining polite and less arrogant discourse.
