albert on a cliff
hii i'm albert
i'm here to think hard and move fast
(i also like walking on rocks; and semicolons)

Trailer of my life:

  • Spawned in Michigan, lived in 4 states/attended 8 schools by age 12
  • Elementary school “recess” had pickaxes and power tools
  • High school friend group spent COVID coding on voice call together
  • Now indiscriminately studying STEM at Caltech (techn. CS/Neuro (CNS))

Some things I believe:

  • The subjective experience is a miracle! And we can mold it.
    • The fractal of experience contains infinite wonder.
    • The world (and thus, the experience) is malleable via technology.
  • Trust is key.
    • We’re all just people trying to get along and explore the world.
    • Quality. Scale is an engineering problem.
  • I can get way better, by training
    • Intentionality / focus / discipline / alignment,
    • Optimism and imagination (physics provides realism),
    • Reduced mental inertia,
      • Fear is the mind killer.
      • Live a pure/light life.
    • and increased velocity. And acceleration, jerk, snap, crackle, pop, …
It's gonna be great—I cannot wait :))
