Hi Less Wrong,

I am John Chavez from the Philippines. I'm a part-time teacher in a community college, teaching computer hardware servicing and maintenance to out-of-school youths.

As I take much value on helping others in my community and reach out to people who needs help, I came to know about Intentional Insights on Facebook, which leads me here in Less Wrong. I have been here for a while reading several published articles. There are a lot of articles here that I really love to read, although I must admit that there are a few that I found confusing and I disagree of.

Hence, I am introducing myself to you to formally start my quest in learning more about being rationalist.

I hope this will be enough for you to welcome me in your community. It will be humbling to know your thoughts :)

Thanks!

Hi John! From what you have described, I think it could be a better experience for you if you start with the more structured reading, which is (at the moment) best provided by Eliezer's "From AI To Zombies". You can download it for free if you follow the link. It may seem long, but it's well worth the read.

Cool! Thank you. I will definitely read it. :)
