- I'm a high school senior.
- I read extensively outside my school curriculum-mostly books recommended by rationalists/atheists here and on other similar sites. I've also read a few "soft" science books such as those by Hawking, Ridley and so on.
- Less than five in my grade. My school is fairly competitive and mostly composed of top students from other schools so there are intellectually curious people here.
- I'm considering economics or engineering as a career. I like physics too but have been lagging behind lately- so maybe I'm not career material in that field.
- Never heard of it before today, probably because it is a US-centric thing and I'm from outside the States. Visited the site and feel it doesn't apply to me.

If "pussy" is a sexist slur, isn't "dick", also?

It should be, but compared to women, most men are relatively less offended at the slur. Double standards; go figure.

For those of us still in high school, should we put "general" or the major we expect to take in college?
I'm in high school(12th year) and I put the major I'm expecting to take in college. Good to see that there are other high school students here! And you're a far lot more active than me too.

Concepts Don't Work That Way
I would never have thought an eagle to be atypical as an example of a bird, am I in a minority about this?
I feel the same way. In my case, I believe it's because I've been more exposed to eagles and chickens(in my country) than robins(What are those?) so that the former falls within my definition of a typical bird.

Welcome to Less Wrong! (2010-2011)
Hello all, I'm a 17 year old High School senior. I discovered Less Wrong through the author page at HP:MoR. I had considered myself a rational person for some time, but the Sequences here have really opened my eyes to the glaring errors I was making as a Traditional Rationalist. Consequently, this site has already changed my life for the better and I really just want to thank all the main contributors here. Thank You!
Also, I am looking to Major in Cognitive Science in college and any suggestions as to good schools to apply would be appreciated, along with any advice as to reading or preparation I should do before entering this field.
I would like to second his request. I too would love some reading material, besides the Sequences which are pretty awesome by themselves, on cognitive science and rationality.
I found the database list but the application process requires you to be there in person. Cards are free to Texans and cost $60/year for everyone else.
Yes Austin Library has a quite extensive research center. And unfortunately some sites are exploiting their openness and, can you believe it, posting their logins on blogs like http://ezproxy.free-webmaster-resources.org/2010/12/page/2/ . Oh, the audacity!
Of course I don't support such sites in the least.

There is a website called ezproxy dot blogspot dot com which posts occasionally working password to library sites and universities' online resources. It might prove useful to some people here.
password2password dot eamped dot com also offers the same feature as well as a subforum specifically for article requests. It makes sense to have an account there. 55face dot blogspot dot com too posts occasional passwords to library sites. It makes sense to bookmark it too. Of course, the best option would be to use your local library itself..
