Hey! My name is Vinney, I'm 28 years old and live in New York City.

To be exceedingly brief: I've been working through the sequences (quite slowly and sporadically) for the past year and a half. I've loved everything I've seen on LW so far and I expect to continue. I hope to ramp up my study this year and finally get through the rest of the sequences.

I'd like to become more active in discussions but feel like I should finish the sequences first so I don't wind up making some silly error in reasoning and committing it to a comment. Perhaps that isn't an ideal approach to the community discussions, but I suspect it may be common..

Welcome!

Do finish the sequences, but you won't be done then; you'll still make stupid mistakes. Best to start making them now, I think.

Thanks, I'll get started making stupid mistakes as quickly as I can! I'm sorry I wasn't able to make any here.
