Hi, I'm
Manoj Dhakal / मनोज ढकाल

I'm an undergraduate student (currently a senior) at NYU Abu Dhabi double majoring in Philosophy and Computer Science.

I like to write -- both bounded prose, and unbounded work [prose and poetry]. Under bounded work, I do some philosophical takes and turns on whatever interests me, with however much nuance I can muster. Under unbounded work, I occasionally roll up my creative sleeves and long for painting some freedom, for as long as I pretend I can. I have also started capturing moments now and then, and I post them under albums. Sometimes, I unironically refer to myself as an epistemic spaghetti, sprinkled with consciousness.

My current interestes are in Philosophy of Mind, Ethics, and Political Philosophy. On the Computer Science end, I am interested in indulging in tasteful projects, and more broadly, AI Intelligence, or the lack thereof. Currently, I am working on two capstone projects: one in Philosophy on Epistemology, and another in Computer Science on Mechanistic Interpretability.
