I’m a philosopher-builder currently thinking deeply about the metaphysics and mathematics of reasoning. I founded the Endowment for Human Autonomy, and I’m forming a frontier lab to build a novel substrate for superintelligence.

About
I'm the developer of the Type 1 / Type 2 generalization framework, the first tractable representation of how thought transcends its own theoretical closure (think: what AlphaGo did to Go players v. what Einstein did to Newton).
I'm now assembling brilliant eccentrics at QuSu Labs to build the first AI system capable of the same move.
I also founded the Endowment for Human Autonomy to preserve the capacity for critical thinking and independent reasoning in the age of AI and information warfare. Website/launch announcement soon.
Previously: led a technically ambitious project in the intelligence community, built my first startup as a college senior, taught and supervised undergraduates in the philosophy of technology. I studied the history and philosophy of science at Harvard & MIT with a focus on the philosophy of information in quantum mechanics and AI.
These days I'm asking narrower versions of the same questions, and trying to build things that depend on the answers.
