As I continue to work through the sequences, I’ve decided to go ahead and join the forums here. A lot of the rationality material isn’t conceptually new to me, although much of the language is very much so, and thus far I’ve found it to be exceptionally helpful to my thinking.
I’m a 24 year old video game developer, having worked on graphics on a particular big-name franchise for a couple years now. It’s quite the interesting job, and is definitely one of the realms I find the heady, abstract rationality tools to be extremely helpful. Rationality is what it is, and that seems to be acknowledged here, a fact I’m quite grateful for.
When I’m not discussing the down-to-earth topics here, people may find I have a sometimes anxiety-ridden attachment to certain religious ideas. Religious discussion has been extremely normal for me throughout my life, so while the discussion doesn’t make me uncomfortable, my inability to come to answers that I’m happy with does, and has caused me a bit of turmoil outside of discussion. Obviously there is much to say about this, and much people may like to say to me, but I’d like to first get through all the sequences, get all of my questions about it all answered, pay attention a bit to the discussions here, and I’ll go from there. I have no grand hopes to finally put these beliefs to rest, but I will go to lengths to see whether it is something I should do. To pick either seems to me to suppose I have a Way to rationality, if I understand the point correctly. I would invite any and all discussion on the topic, and I appreciate the little “welcome to Theists” in the main post here. :)
