Hi y’all. I’m a senior in high school in the Silicon Valley who’s been lurking for a couple of months. I’ve been working my way through the Sequences since then. I don’t know how much I have to contribute to the discussion, since I’m a bit of a newcomer to rationalism, but I enjoy reading everyone else’s discussions.
I was introduced to this site through my philosophy class- a research project on transhumanism led me to Eliezer Yudkowsky’s site, which led me to here. I came here for the Sequences, stayed here for the intelligent discussion (just like almost everyone else on this page). I’m really interested in computer science and economics and how they intersect with rationality.

Cool! Was this an assigned topic or a self-chosen one?
And since you’re a HS senior, you might find it worthwhile to read the threads on where (or even whether) to go for college next year, or start your own thread if you want personalized advice.
