      Back then I was a lonely, depressed (though I didn’t know it yet) student at Rice University. I’m a night owl and sometimes I say “screw it” and allow myself to stay up as long as I want. I stayed most of one weekend in the Fondren Library reading classic SSC posts and comments

      I was familiar with Less Wrong and didn’t realize Scott posted there too under a different pseudonym. But I knew I found a mind that I’ll discuss ideas with for hours upon hours, even if mostly in my head. There’s a joy in finding someone who takes ideas very seriously.

      Community around SSC was great back then and it grew since. I frequently check /r/ssc. It’s almost like an informal, spontaneously organized debate club in which culture comes from the top: from Scott. In this culture we extend kindness and generosity to one another.

      Intellectual breadth of different members of this community is astonishing. A quick skim of comment sections will reveal people familiar with many different worlds. But I’m not here to sell SSC but rather say what it means to me.

      I’m from Poland, went to college in US, and after that I came back, spent a year in the Netherlands, and now I’m back in Poland. Partly because of my struggles with depression, mostly because of my own fault, things haven’t turned out as I had hoped (not yet!).

      Still, over these years SSC was an intellectual home for me. All of these are online and SSC is probably my main residence. I have always had different interests than my peers (reading plenty of generic non-fiction, math, economics, US history and politics, country music).

      The intellectual companionship, which I couldn’t get in the real world, I found online. SSC is one of few websites I open almost everyday, has posts that I regularly reread, and posts which have influenced me. I never met Scott but I love him for the safe haven he created.

      And dearly hope we haven’t seen the last of him. I never met you Scott, and I may never meet you, but I admire your work and see in you a kindred spirit. In the words of the great Kris Kristofferson: “Don’t let the bastards get you down.”

      Same if you’re ever in Warsaw (or Gdańsk). If things go well enough I may try applying to some PhD programs in US. But I’m a long way from there now.
