Hello, world!

I just sent in my application. I'm really curious, and it looks like nothing I've ever seen before. I'm still a college student, so I doubt I'll be accepted (the first few questions make Rationality Boot Camp look as though it's targeted towards professors and established scientists), but this is something I'm really excited about, and it couldn't hurt to apply. I'm hoping for the best.

Peace and happiness, wobster109

I'd be surprised if there are any professors or established scientists who'd have 10 weeks to devote to this kind of thing. I suppose professors could spend a sabbatical on it, but why do that when you could write a book with that time instead?

I'm a college student too, and just about finished with my application. The form really does make it seem like it's targeted at people who have already received at least one degree, but I wouldn't be surprised if some promising undergrads made it in.
