Overview
About Me
I'm in my 30s. I am into technology, science, computers, futurism. I also like travelling and history.
I am striving to learn as much as I can about the future. I think we live in the most exciting & interesting time in human history ever, and things are changing very rapidly and exponentially. Some topics I'm into are:
Friendly AI, & the Intelligence Explosion, VR & Augmented Reality, Applications of Blockchain, feasibility of SpaceX actually colonizing Mars, Conspiracy Theories & Epistemology, aspiring rationalism, The Singularity, Cryonics, Existential Risks, Markets and EMH, Startups and entrepreneurial culture, trying to understand the bigger picture however possible.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet interesting people via hosting, and also to travel and get the authentic experience instead of just the tourist facade.
