Dr Alistair Quinn - Psychiatry trainee. Harvard computational biology graduate.
Obsessed with recursive self-improvement - in code, in consciousness, and in civilisation.

I write about biological and artificial neural networks - and the ways they interact. Essays on statistics. Systems thinking. Health. Human performance. Psychiatry through the lens of predictive coding. Ethics and reasoning under uncertainty. Meaning making and reality selection.
