Hello!

I’ve recently been working on a memoir of my time in EA (Harri Besceli and the non methods of post-rationality).

However, AI timelines have led me to conclude that everything I had previously planned on doing over the course of the coming months or years, must now be completed as soon as possible, ideally by the end of the weekend.

Given that, I’m sharing the quick version now, and hope to complete the full version in the fullness of time. Here's my story in brief:

Proto EA

• As a child and teenager I was fairly smart and ‘successful’, I did well academically, had prestigious accolades and so on. 
• I had various heroic fantasies about my future, often imagining myself as James Bond. These fantasies became less common and less combat oriented as I got older, though I still had a sense that I was in some way destined to do important things and or save the world.  
• I was very into self-improvement, pop psychology and books kind of related to new atheism. 
• I often had a sense of intellectual and philosophical isolation. I wasn’t exactly lonely, though I also didn’t feel met by others [...]
