I’m 21, from Finland. Studying physics, right now. I’ve felt for my entire life that that has been the path I want to take, and even after significant soul-searching lately on whether I really do want to go for it or not, partially sparked by reading LW, I still haven’t changed my mind thus far.
I’ve read quite a bit of the Sequences and various other posts, mostly because many of the topics are very interesting (though I’ve found that I am interested in a lot of things), some of them affirming to my previous views and others disillusioning. It feels like the site has pushed me towards a change in how I think and what I think about, and although that change is not yet finished, I feel that it’s starting to be possible for me to contribute in some cases. And having the option is always nice, because I am unlikely to come back to write down my insights if I am unable to send them immediately. And, well, I enjoy the spirit of the community from what I have seen, when compared to various other places where I have attempted to discuss things that interest me.
I am currently struggling with some difficulties in forcing myself to put in the necessary work for the goals I wish to reach. I expect I’ll succeed sooner or later, and preferably sooner, but that’s what I’m currently working on at any rate.
So, again, hello. I hope every one of you has a nice life.
Hello.
