Occupation: mathematician (in industry), though I’ve done a fair bit of programming in my time too.
Lifelong rationalist, at least in principle, though I somehow managed to remain (actively) religious for many years. Political leftie (especially by US standards). Interests include: everything. “Found” LW by being a regular at OB since long before LW was mooted. Gently skeptical about cryonics, imminent technological singularities, and suchlike.
OK, let’s continue with the introductions.
