About Chris Lakin

I spent most of my time helping founders get results, doing research, and with my gf. In my spare time, I experiment with hosting weird events, matchmaking my friends, and intuitive health experiments. You can find me on Twitter @chrislakin.

Before the unlearning research, I worked on boundaries for AI alignment, a metascience non-profit, and physics at Carnegie Mellon.

Unlearn what's in the way

ORIGINAL: I used to be painfully anxious, insecure, validation-seeking, avoidant, depressed, socially risk-averse, overwhelmed by emotions, in chronic pain… I unlearned it. Then I wondered: “How could it’d been 10x easier?”
