About
I am most interested in the notion of thinking unthinkable thoughts. How do we
think, and how do we develop new thoughts? Moreover, how can we think new
thoughts quicker and understand a body of knowledge faster?
Just as a to-do list helps us remember, and a notepad helps us perform
calculations, computers can help us immensely when it comes to thinking
previously unthinkable thoughts.
To this end I want to make tools that help people to understand the world
around them, and think of new solutions to difficult problems.

However, we can also augment how we approach those problems in the first place, this is what it means augment human intellect.
