About

So, what the heck is all this?

I’m a transhumanist, skeptic and vegetarian who’s interested in science fiction, science, philosophy, math, language, consciousness and the nature of reality…

Reading this blog you can expect to find diverse posts on the topics mentioned above.

What I want / My values

(draft 3.1, 2014-12-13)

(1.) Within the life span of every sentient being, the being’s happiness should eventually outweigh its suffering. In other words, every life should have positive value.

(1.1) Whether a life has positive value should be decided based on the best possible prediction of the best possible reflective equilibrium that each being’s future self can reach when given all available information and sufficient resources to evaluate those information correctly.

(1.1.1) Any being’s extrapolated self should be uncoerced. Which means that successive versions of a being’s self need to agree to any changes to their preferences.

(2.) The complex preferences of every sentient being should be satisfied.

(3.) Everything should be done to maximize 2 without violating 1.

Errata

Note that I wrote some posts, posts that could previously be found on this blog, during a dark period of my life. Eliezer Yudkowsky is a decent and honest person with no ill intent, and anybody can be made to look terrible by selectively collecting all of his quotes one-sidedly as I did. I regret those posts, and leave this note here as an archive to that regret.

My name is Anabia Mayer. And I am a professional academic writer with many years of experience in writing.

My main focus is to solve problems related to writing. And I have been doing it for many years. I have been with several organizations as a volunteer and have assisted clients in many ways.
My love for writing has no end. It is like the air we breathe, something I cherish with all my being. I am a passionate writer who started at an early age.
I’m happy that I`ve already sold several copies of my works in different countries like USA, Russia and others too numerous to mention.
I also work in an organization that provides assistance to many clients from different parts of the world. Clients always come to me because I work no matter how difficult their projects are. I help them to save time, because I feel fulfilled when people come to me for writing help.

Thanks for stopping by my page! I’m Hayley.
Even though I jokingly credit my mother for my writing talent, I know that it is a skill I have fostered from childhood. Though my mother is a writer, I also started out young.
I’ve always had a way with words, according to my favorite educator. I was always so excited in history when we had to do a research assignment .
Now, I help current students achieve the grades that have always come easily to me. It is my way of giving back to schools because I understand the obstacles they must overcome to graduate.
