I started posting a while ago (and was lurking for a while beforehand), and only today found this post.
My parents were both science teachers, and I got an education in traditional rationality basically since birth (I didn’t even know it had such a name as “traditional rationality”, I assumed it was just how you were supposed to think). I’ve always used that experimental mindset in order to understand people and the rest of the universe. I’m an undergrad in the Plan II honors program at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Chemistry Pre-Med. A friend of mine found HP:MoR on StumbleUpon and shared it with me. I caught up with the story very quickly, and one day as I was bored waiting for Elizeer to post the next chapter, I came to Less Wrong. Lurked for a long time, read the sequences, and adopted technical rationality. One day I had something to say, so I created an account.
