This is the website of Gwern Branwen, writer & independent researcher. I am most interested in psychology, statistics, and technology; I am best known for my writings on the darknet markets & Bitcoin, blinded self-experiments & Quantified Self analyses, dual n-back & spaced repetition, and modafinil.

These are the things that have most influenced my work and thinking; the things that I return to and share with others again and again.

In July 2017 the Telegraph listed scaruffi.com as “the oldest webpage that is still being updated”….The philosophy is very simple. Today’s culture is biased towards business. I discuss culture without paying any attention to what sells. I am interested in great artists, musicians, writers, etc, regardless of how the business and the establishment perceives them. I also try to apply a historical perspective: history is my main interest.

This is a collection of pieces that subtly influence me in small ways. They pile up, eventually sprouting into beliefs and projects that hopefully fit together to help me solve the puzzle.

My purpose is to curate a living map of the world’s knowledge.
