Hello LW! Long time lurker here. Got here from HPMOR a few years ago now. This is one of my favourite places on the internet due to its high sanity waterline and I thought I’d sign up so I could participate here and there (plus I finally came up with a username I like!). I’ve got a B.Sc. in math with a concentration in psychology (apparently that is a thing you can get, I didn’t know either) and my other passions are music, film, humor, and being right all the time ;)
Thanks to LW and the rest of the rationality blogosphere, I’ve added effective altruism to my life goals. I’ve been wondering lately how we might shift the cultural norm from “boy I sure hope I have a big house and drive a fancy sports car by the time I’m 30” to “boy I sure hope I’m donating lots of money to worthy charities by the time I’m 30″.
