There's a reason why MIT is known for high suicide rates, but luckily I have a goal that keeps me motivated to push through all of the work. I haven't gotten into any of the super in-depth concepts yet, but just being here and going through the basics that I know will build to something far greater gives me an indescribable sense of hope and dedication that has really made me feel fulfilled. I'm also looking into participating in an Undergraduate Research Opportunity (UROP) at the Center for Brains Minds and Machines to get some practical experience with doing research in the field.

Undergrad. I studied a bunch of CS in high school and am continuing as part of the CogSci degree. Officially, the program is a combination of their CS and Neuroscience program.

I'm studying Cognitive Science at MIT specifically so that I can make ASI a reality. If all goes well, I'll have the next 70+ years (depending on how quickly life extention tech develops) to dedicate to the endeavor. Given current predictions, I am hopeful that I can make a significant impact.

It's an inevitability if I have anything to say about it.
