Hello! I came here researching free will for a school project. I’m currently 18, studying science at a fairly basic level in a small town in Sweden. I’ve so far read a few articles and the sheer amount of interesting thoughts in the articles made me want to stay. When I read what Lesswrong stands for, I knew I wanted to be a part of it, to try to become a better, hopefully wiser person.
I’ve liked philosophy for a long time, and don’t usually like “because” as an answer for anything. I want to find out reasons behind everything.
I’m so far not as good as I wish, due to limited time and wanting to read a lot of the articles, but not having enough time. However, I find it difficult to abandon half-read articles, even though they can be a bit of a long read compared to what I’m used to, excluding books.
Since I’m easily influenced by new ideas, too, as long as they make sense, I’m expecting myself to switch a lot. Lesswrong seems interesting, anyway, and I want to know more. I want more perspectives and thoughts.
So far Lesswrong seems wonderful, and I think I’ll like it. Hoping the community can oversee shortcomings when needed, but I’m expecting you all to be a nice bunch.
For science, and a greater understanding. Hopefully I’ll be able to learn from you. But it’s late now, and I’ll be going now. Just thought I’d say hi.
