A list of the in-depth exploratory essays I write. Lots and lots of text paired with adorable pictures.
Habits 101: A very, very very in-depth look at what habits are, how we can make them, and how we can break them.
Planning 101: A long introduction to the psychological research behind planning. Features nice-looking pictures and goes over 3 different rationality techniques for planning: Murphyjitsu, Reference Class Forecasting, and Back-planning.
Rationality 101: A quick introduction to what all this “rationality” stuff is about. Goes over about how our brains are often wrong and the field of debiasing. Offers suggestions for books and other resources to learn more.
Attractor Theory: My current hybrid model of motivation and willpower. Talks about trying to globally optimize, rather than locally. Also has nice-looking pictures.
The Ancient God Who Rules High School: Competition in schools, Moloch, metrics. It’s a lot of things smashed into one, with nice-looking pictures.
