About
Hi, I’m Crystal. I’m a student at the University of Toronto. I study Finance, Economics, and Asian Studies.
I have been a competitive debater, an Effective Altruist and a vet assistant. These days I identify most as a humanist.
I try to have good epistemics and live the good life.
My vision of the good life involves accelerating human development. I love humanity and want it to be as capable as possible so that it survives against existential risks. This means making the world abundant in wealth and energy.
I would like to add differential value to the future. I believe that AI is the single most important technology of our times and I am actively exploring ways to shape its development and deployment.
