Who am I?

I’m a Ph.D. student at Princeton in philosophy. I’ve got some philosophy publications. Topics I write about include why we should count the interests of neglected sentient beings like shrimp, factory farming, utilitarianism, random topics of interest in philosophy, anthropic reasoning, politics, AI, and whatever else I feel like writing about.

Which of your essays should I read first?

Here’s a pretty representative mix of some of the ones people have liked most.

  1. If You’re To Die.
