In my case I’m not looking for a transhumanist match: there are lots of really smart, interesting girls out there that haven’t heard of transhumanism, and I have a lot more things to talk about than ethics. (Seriously, who talks about bioconservatism on the first date? Once a girl said on a first date, “There are so many books, it’s the only thing that makes me really sad that I’m going to die.” And I was like, “Oh, don’t worry about that. We’re not that far off from solving death, you’ll be fine. I personally work on the problem; trust me, you’ll have trillions of years to read your books.” I was still able to get a second date.) I just do it because I think it’s hilarious that I can come across as insane and still get girls by being relatively laconic. Social normalcy screens off epistemic oddity, to an extent. I’m not socially normal but I do an okay job at emulating it most of the time.
So those that would take inspiration from my profile, note that the nerdy parts aren’t optimized for success. At all. I just like typing AIXI. AIXI AIXI AIXI AIXI AIXI...
