Who am I?

Warren Zhu. Harvard ’26. Have been repeatedly compared to ChatGPT.

Knows history of philosophy pretty well, especially likes Heidegger, DFW, Arendt, sleep, Nassim Taleb, handstands, and Wong Kar-Wai.

Wants to get better at:

  • Chinese History
  • Political Theory
  • Event organization
  • Statistics
  • Ethics

Doesn’t like to talk about American politics, take photos, or look back at his past posts (or the really really bad TED Talk he has on YT).

Is sometimes sad for no reason. And generally writes his blogposts when that happens.

Reach out to him on Insta if you want to chat!
