I’m a middle-aged high-school dropout, married with several kids.
Also a self-taught computer programmer working in industry for many years.
I have been reading Eliezer’s posts since before the split from Overcoming Bias, but until recently only lurked the internet—I’m shy.
I broke cover recently by joining a barbell forum to solve some technical problems with my low-bar back squat, then stayed to argue about random stuff. Few on the barbell forum argue well—it’s unsatisfying. Setting my sights higher, I now join this forum.
I’ll probably start by trying some of the self-improvement schemes and reporting results. Any recommendations re: where to start?

Never mind, I found the Group rationality diary which is exactly the right aggregation point for self-improvement schemes.
