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..

  1. I'm a high school senior.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 i

1. I stopped reading the "soft" pop science books I while ago because I felt that they were a bit repetitive (especially in psych).

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

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.

We should make a thread in the discussion forum for all high school students to introduce themselves and get advice on how to navigate the idiocy that is our education system and advice on what to study in order to get more involved with transhumanism. I need one more karma to make the post... It'd also be a great place to find a chavruta

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.

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.

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.
