About me

Hello there, I'm Satya!

I research the mathematical foundations of intelligence. I'm a husband and a father, a backpacker, and tinkerer.

I am Satya Benson, and I use satchlj online. Details on my name are here.

I've spent most of my life in Western Massachusetts. I grew up on a blueberry farm. I went to the Hartsbrook School for my early childhood education, and I homeschooled most of elementary school and all of highschool. I received my bachelor's degree from Williams College. I'm married to Clara Benson, and we have one son, Elwin.

I have too many domain names.

Consider buying my branded merch.
