Philosophy and Information Theory. Understanding the mind is one of our most interesting and difficult challenges. I spend a lot of my free time here.
Entrepreneurship and Technology. Raising the ceiling is more powerful than raising the floor. Frontier ideas seem like the best way to do this.
Fighting Intertia. The world will always try to bring you to the equilibrium. We can and must spend our energy to be better than that.
