Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on June 16, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Scott Alexander! May your day be filled with fewer existential crises and more cake-induced epiphanies. Your insightful essays have enlightened us all—though we're still debating whether you're secretly an AI sent from the future to make humanity smarter (or at least funnier).

Congratulations on another year of brilliant writing that makes complex ideas accessible—and occasionally hilarious—to mere mortals like us. Whether dissecting psychology or unraveling philosophy, you've consistently proven yourself a master storyteller who can turn even Bayesian statistics into gripping drama.

Here's wishing you endless inspiration and minimal writer's block in the coming year!
