Public Policy @ Cornell. Writing on AI governance, policy, and economics. — years old.

Hi, I'm Albert. I'm an incoming first-year at Cornell interested in how effective governance can expand humanity's long-term potential.

Now:

  • Thinking about energy, data centers, and export controls.
  • Building Civly to cut through institutional sludge in the federal notice-and-comment process
  • Coaching tomorrow's presidents at Break

Then:

  • Competed in Lincoln Douglas Debate, qualifying to the TOC thrice
  • Researched civic engagement as a Student Fellow at the Bill of Rights Institute

Writing

Do Claims Need Warrants?

On how judges should weigh arguments in Lincoln-Douglas debate, and why a modified form of Bayesian reasoning belongs in the back of the room.

Should EAs Looksmaxx?

A cursory examination on the importance of self-care among those trying to save the world.
