I’ve been occasionally reading for a while, and have decided to get a login. I suppose the reason I’m here is that it’s become important in the last 2 years or so that my beliefs are as accurate as possible. I’ve slowly had to let go of some beliefs because the evidence didn’t seem to support them, and while that’s been painful it has been worthwhile.
I’m also a friend of ciphergoth’s—we’ve discussed less wrong a lot! I don’t feel like I know a great deal yet—I still need to read more of the sequences, so I’ll stick to asking questions until I feel I know more :-).
I’m 28, female, and I live in Cambridge, UK. My academic background is in the philosophy/politics/economics area, and I work in accounts.

Welcome to LessWrong. If you like believing true things and don’t think death is a necessary counterpart to life, you’ll fit in great.
If you have questions, might I suggest asking in the current open thread?
Hurrah! welcome :)
