Stuff I’m happy to talk about approximately always and wherever. Roughly descending order according to my interest (but only roughly and my relative interest fluctuates, probably especially for the less-subjectively-interesting things).

  • Alignment, agent foundations.
  • Math and logic, in particular:
    • Category theory.
    • Non-classical logics.
  • Philosophy, in particular:
    • Metaethics, metacognition, metamathematics; epistemology.
    • Philosophy of mathematics, (evolutionary) biology, science.
  • History, in particular:
    • Alternative history, pivotal historical events (e.g. Siege of Jerusalem 701 BC).
    • Pre-Columbian America.
    • Interesting/inspiring historical characters (e.g. TR, Ikkyū).

    • Some other drugs: Salvia, Kratom.
  • Whatever you find in my favorite stuff page, especially fiction (or whatever adjacent stuff you know about that I may or may not know about).
