Hi! I’m Ciara (pronounced like Keara-Irish spelling is very muh irrational!)
I’ve actually been a member of less wrong for a little while-I discovered it through HPMOR. I’ve always liked academics, challenging books, and Harry Potter, so I joined Less Wrong. I am a little ashamed to admit that I was quite intimidated by the sheer intellect and extraordinary thoughts that came from so many members all around the world. So, I took a little break after starting with the basics of rationality and am now a very different, though still amateur rationalist, person. I live in MA, not far from MiT, and I’m hoping to attend a meet up sometime.
I’m sixteen years old, and going into my junior year of highschool. Both of my parents are Irish, and I usually spend about a quarter of my year there with family, so I tend to use some bizzare expressions. I’m also a dancer; I participate in musical theatre and jazz principally. I’m an aspiring author currently some 30,000 odd words into my latest attempt at a novel. I’m trying to incorporate some rationality into the characters; although not rationalist genre, like HPMOR, I’m at least trying to ensure that no one is holding the idiot ball.
I’m a little nervous about rejoining the rationalist community, but I hope that by, say, Newtonmas, that my rationality will have improved enough for me to start posting. Look forward to working with you!
