MIRI-style FAI research is pretty much only heavy math, but if you're interested in taking that track, PM me and I can get you resources.
Regardless, I applaud your motivation and am excited in your endeavor!
I'm more interested in the type of research FHI / CSER does - a little less on the math, more on the philosophy / economics / decision theory aspects.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
