The World Around Me

What are you curious about?

I love to read stories of nasty protagonists. I like to see them be the cause of their undoing. I like when they’re consistent in who they are, and it’s not that their hypocrisy kills them, but their values.

I like this because as someone high in systematizing, it’s a reminder that following values often isn’t good on the margins, compared to understanding what needs to happen.

I think economics and psychology provide good frameworks for understanding how people act, and what to do about that. I often like understanding how other people think. Cognitive empathy is interesting and it’s good to know how other people’s values align.
