I’m writing a new book about Free Will: Why we don’t have it and why that matters

Posted on April 6, 2023April 6, 2023 by Peter Thorpe

I’m on a mission to write the world’s most evidence-based, citation packed, and easy-to-understand book on why we don’t have free will and what the implications are. This will be my most important project during my 3-4 months sabbatical vacation.

The pursuit of beauty: Why it matters and why we must fight for it

Posted on April 5, 2023April 6, 2023 by Peter Thorpe

One of the most pernicious lies that society has beaten us over the head with one too many times is that “looks are superficial.” The truth is that average looks are superficial, and it is precisely because they don’t convey any useful information about the subject. On the other hand…

subset-sum-pisinger

Posted on September 30, 2020September 30, 2020 by Peter Thorpe

npm module I wrote that solves subset sum problem in linear time for the special case of all x_i positive and bounded by some constant C that is greater than or equal to each integer in the input set. One of the most fun projects I’ve done in a while, combining algorithms, unit testing, and discrete math.

Rather than promoting hatred, I argue that the science of human nature, now understood better than ever before, is both necessary and expedient in resolving the spiraling cycle of racial agitation that is brewing across the United States.
