Meet Conjecture Institute Fellow Sam Kuypers @Sam_kuyp!
Sam is a quantum physicist interested in foundational questions.
In his research, published in reputable scientific journals, he explores the quantum theory of time, the many-worlds interpretation, and locality.
Thanks to everyone who came to Rat Fest 2025!
At 78 attendees, it was by far our biggest in-person event yet.
Our goal for next year's Conjecture Con (we're renaming the event) is to have 100 attendees.
Stay tuned!
"If altruism morality is taken to its logical conclusion, then everyone would be trying to solve everyone else's problems.
How could that possibly be more effective than everyone trying to solve their own problems?”
