Hi everyone,
I’m Vladimir - 25 years old, originally from Russia and currently living in Dublin. I studied mathematics, but life took me into product management in IT, where I work today.
The reason for me to be here is that I am at this stage in life and career when meaning in everything I do starts to take priority more and more. I have also recently become quite interested in decision-making and how we can use it for the greater good. I think this partially started in around 2023 with the rapid progress in AI chatbots, making the clear thinking feel much more immediate and personal. I truly believe that decision-making as a skill is crucial for effective altruism.
As part of that, I started working on a small passion project: a non-profit website that teaches people about cognitive biases in an interactive way. It’s still in its early stages, and I’m figuring a lot out as I go, but I’d love any thoughts if you ever take a look (I hope it is okay to put it here, but please let me know if it's not).
I’m excited to be here; this community feels like one of the rare places on the internet where people are open-minded and focused on the improvement of humanity. I also hope to join in some of the AI discussions - I find myself both fascinated by where things are going and deeply uncertain about how to navigate it all.
Thanks for reading and looking forward to learning from all of you.

Hi!
Thanks, I'm glad it seemed helpful!
It took me around 4 months to get to that stage. I am mostly working evenings/weekends, as I've got a full-time job and some other volunteering activities.
Although I work as product manager and was familiar with some concepts, I did not have coding experience and this is my first such project. So a good chunk of that time was spent on understanding the basics.
I certainly couldn't have done it without AI, honestly, it's been such a great help! I feel like we live in a time when everyone with some tech basics and enough dedication can create much more impressive stuff than this.
I'm still working on this project though, I think it is far from completion yet. I've got a lot of ideas, primarily in structuring it more as a concrete "learning path" rather than just a directory of tools.
Also, if everything works out, I want to add an online "serious game", as they have been proved by multiple research papers to be more effective in cognitive bias education, and yet none of them seem to be available online. But that's a long shot!
