Mehr Rational Optimization \w Elias Schlie

Hi, I'm Elias. 👋 I love progress and feel joy when my knowledge and capabilities expand. I want to understand the mysteries of reality, travel the stars, and enhance my cognitive and physical abilities to levels that we can't even imagine right now. AI is likely the biggest existential risk that humanity currently faces, so I decided to dedicate myself to making it safer. Currently, I'm finishing my Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence Bachelor's (1 year faster & Summa Cum Laude) and am starting to do my own research on the side.
