Hi! I first came here a couple of months ago through MoR (through TV Tropes), which seems to have been a gateway drug of sorts for many of us here. Right now I’m reading my way through the sequences and other posts. I find it surprising how much difference it’s made in my thought processes in just the short time I’ve been reading to just have the Litany of Gendlin available and verbalized, or making my beliefs pay rent. I think I’ve always been very analytical, but the most helpful things I’ve read on Less Wrong so far have been ways to focus that analysis and make it useful. My biggest complaint so far has been finding my browser somehow full of unread but saved Less Wrong tabs every time I open it. How does that keep happening, I wonder...
I’m also one of the (presently, six) members of the Less Wrong Folding@Home team, in case you were wondering.

Meaning you work on Folding@Home or you contribute your cycles?
