Hello! I’m one of the folks who only recently found out about EA but have been hacking my own independent version for years… It’s incredible to find what I had hoped was in existence after so long. (My portal key was this podcast episode: https://samharris.org/podcasts/228-doing-good/)
It feels like walking into a room of strangers but realizing, ‘Now these are my people’. The most parallel experience I’ve had was being invited to an Ecoversities gathering a few years back, arriving in a Costa Rica and within a few hours feeling a sense of soul belonging. (If you believe in rooted, whole-self development.. Here they are http://ecoversities.org/)
My passion is supporting young people in finding their path and their autonomy—and I’m in the process of interviewing folks who do feel they’ve found a way to live an inspired, impactful life about how they got there. Anyone here want to participate? *
*Disclaimer: You don’t to have all your everything figured out, would love to talk to most anyone who’s found their way here.
While in my last year of high school, I independently came up with the idea that we should try to maximize aggregate utility over time: ∫∞t0u(t)dt. A few weeks later, I heard about EA from a teacher.

I would love to see how you’d solve that equation now, compared to when you first wrote it. Glad your teacher knew where to point you!
I felt the same thing when I discovered (and met) EAs :-). Welcome!
