Hi, I'm Loofah. This is my little ecosystem of thoughts. My current hopes for it:

  • act as a place where I can cultivate and more easily share ideas
  • write and think publicly, with hopes of inspiring others do the same ("do more of what you want to see in the world"), and eventually domino all of us towards a golden age for humanity
  • help me find people who I can do interesting things with together :)

I really enjoy learning/working/walking on:

  • the question "how can we flourish better?" - currently focusing through the lens of economics (especially good resource allocation and mimetic incentive design)
  • improving our phenomenological experience through meditation, meditation-adjacent, and modern neurological insights
  • how to move from working in an intellectual, emulative way to somatically "getting" (becoming) the thing; particularly felt senses of agency, energy, and focus
  • building a constraint-literate philosophy of action, for individuals as well as larger systems: often we're short on time/compute/information and need to make good decisions in spite of this - shoutout to @IvanVendrov for the elegant framing
  • effective thinking and action in adversarial/noisy environments (e.g. forecasting, investing, trading)
