18, senior in high school.
I've been devouring non-fiction books from my local library, usually reading about science and philosophy. I used to be interested in a lot of pop-science and philosophy (Kaku, Dawkins, Greene, Hawking, etc.) a few years ago, but now I'm interested in work on A.I, cognitive science, morality, etc., mostly thanks to LessWrong.
Not many. I have a few friends who are somewhat interested in science and philosophy outside of academia, but practically no one I know is interested in rationality. Pity.
I'm working on that. I'm interested in neuroscience and evolutionary biology.
Nope.
Here it is.

Yeah. I've stopped reading so many popular science books. Lucky for me, my neighbor works for Pearson, so I get free textbooks on Ev. Psych and AI.
