I'm a chemical engineer interested in science communication, optimization, ethics, and philosophy. My favorite sport is "joggling," or jogging and juggling at the same time. You can find more of my writing at https://substack.com/@markmcdonaldthoughts.
I found LessWrong two(ish) years ago in kind of a weird way. I was looking for critiques of C.S. Lewis’s book The Abolition of Man, and the best one I found was this LessWrong post discussing the book. From there, I found The Sequences, Effective Altruism, and the SlateStarCodex subreddit. I recently moved to the Tri-Cities, WA area, far away from any of the rationalist/EA meetups I’m aware of. If anyone else is in the area, I’d love to connect!
