Green-pilled/vegetarian from a very early age (age 12)

Forum-pilled from a very early age (also at age 12)

Calorie-restriction-pilled at age 14 (thanks to seattle times), but CR is very difficult until you finally get retatrutide.

History-pilled from a very early age to justify my interest in AOE2 (unfortunately history APs are also easiest to self-study, but they don’t focus on the right kinds of history, like economic history, like Peter Turchin history)

I have gone to many disparate conferences (I try to be sparse and not attend the same conference too many times), but I would say that the Danielle Strachman summit before the 1517 summit, Princeton Envision, Foresight Institute, and a complex systems one were by far the most important

Went to UW early, but DID NOT TRAVEL outside AT ALL while there

Found a way to participate in an accelerated TMS trial in August 2025.
