I am brand new to this site and really to the topic of rationality in general. A friend recommended HPMOR to me a few months ago and I loved it. I then read Cialdini’s ‘Influence’ on recommendation from these forums, and I am now reading Rationality: from AI to Zombies.
My background is in science, having studied oceanography at university, graduating about ten years ago. I am currently thinking about training as a science teacher. I look forward to becoming better acquainted with this topic, and being involved in the discussions.
Learn more contemporary philosophy of science. Perhaps start with the Vienna circle, graduate to Quine and go from there, delving into Hume and such when you see allusions to them.
Or, learn statistical machine learning.
You’ll save time, have a reputable skill set and have a relatively normal vocabulary by the end of it.
edit 1: 2 downvotes and no comments? Have I hurt someone’s feelings?
