Breif History

Wentwj is truly a god amoungst mortals. He spends a good deal of his time writting things about himself in the third person. The rest of his time he spends trying to correct the misguided visions of those around him such as his nemesis

He would consider himself to be a philomath and an automath. Intellectual development is an important part of his life. He has always had a very active mind, some would say too active, and often finds himself in the pursuit of knowledge, when he isn't dispensing knowledge to those around him. He is interested in many things, ranging from Pre-Vedic teachings, to 18ths century philosophers, to Automata Theory. He has made no mistakes, but overall I (the narrorator) consider his general attitude towards life to be rather ambitious and often times ranging from stotic to nihlistic. While striving for quality and perfection, he often times accomplishes in moments what take others lifetimes to accomplish. He does however, often time have a problem completing his projects, because the awesomeness of his idea is not expressible in the imperfect terms of our reality, and as such he may spend a lot of time on a few tasks and continuously find himself running out of time. He has always been unusually through in his thoughts or actions, accepting only what reason and logic allow him, ignoring his own bias. As such he was perfectly capable of abandoning the model of determinism after years of being a strict determinist, when he saw an obvious gaping hole in the theory. Consequently, many would classify him as an Agnostic; meaning he does not currently beleive he have gathered enough evidence to form solid religious beliefs. However many would deem him simply an atheist, because on the deepest of metaphysical claims, it is impossible to attain real knoweldge, and as such he has chosen the most likely view of the world. Atleast this is what people would have said, had he not established the Church of Shatneromsism, in which he expresses the obvious truth that the world was created by the deity Shatner, who is in a constant struggle with the god-like beig John Stamos for control of the universe. He values love and happiness. He support the environment. He's American. He's white and nerdy; and he very infrequently edits Wikipedia. His theme song is beyond what simply mortals could comprehend.

Maaan, youssucha copy cattin' bastard! Gee copy and paste my profile why don'tchya.

Some of my interests

Primary interests

• Happiness - Ultimately this is what I see as the motivation for most or all goals and actions.
• Love - An important part of life.
• Intellectual development and building my philosophical theories from the ground up, from Metaphysics, to ethics, to asthetics, to computing
• Physics, particularly the new physics, Quantum mechanics and string theory
• Socialization - Hanging out with friends.
• Philosophy; esp. Logic and Metaphysics - I believe philosophy (esp. logic) to delineate the aquisition of all knowledge. Reason must be the basis for everything we consider knowledge.
• Computer-related; hardware and software. Primarily programming of various kinds, from web design, to compilers.
• I value wealth simply as a means to an end.
• The Philosopher's Stone - A moderatly decent Harry Potter book.
• History; esp. Ancient history (particularly Greek and Roman history, with emphasis on the decline of the Republic, Julius Caesar, rise of the Empire, and decline of the empire)
• Religion; esp. Comparative religion, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Pre-Vedic, Shatnermosism
• Math in all it's wonders. From phi, to pi, to all the crazy contradictions and conclusions that can be derived from mathematical principles.
• Psychology and Human Development

Nemesis

the sloth_monkey, nemesis to wentwj and savior to the infidels.

Begining

For several years wentwj and Sloth_monkey coexisted peacefully. However on one fatefully day Sloth_monkey viciously attacked wentwj, causing him to lose enough blood for some to wonder if he would survive the incident.

This attack was likely brought on by Sloth_monkey clear jeleaous of the knoweldge and potential of wentwj, it was after all Shatner who had chosen wentwj to deliver his message of hope and peace, though neither knew it conciously at the time, it plauged their subconcious thoughts.

LMFAO! hahahaha! Dude I read that and thought you were making it up to be funny. Then I remembered I actually DID attack you and try to kill you in a jealous rage and make you bleed all over and everyone thought you died! Woooh those were the good ol' days. ..Good times, good times. sloth_monkey 05:24, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

p.s. Don't worry I'll finish the job eventually.

Education

Sloth_monkey then basically disappeared off the face of the planet for a few years, most likely scared into hiding after his failed assasination attempt. —Yeah most likely— He did however resurface later, only with a changed apperance, and hair that tended to change more often then he changed his underwear. —TOo true— A feat that was not overly hard to acheive, but yet still worth noting. —Hey! You have no idea how much blood sweat and tears were poured into that crap! ...well none, really. But so what, up yours— To this day his hair color changes more frequently than his underwear, but his hair color has remained the same over the last 2-3 years at least. —Dude how did you know that I never change my underwear? Where you gettin' this? Who could possibly know.....aliens?! ....Ohhh the Shatner. ...wait. OMG SHATNER'S AN ALIEN!! Now it all makes perfect sense

Sloth_monkey and wentwj would occasionally engage in conversations in which wentwj would attempt to educate Sloth_monkey on many things of the world. At the time they actually agreed on a great many things, however wentwj would soon learn to fully embrace logic and real deduction. Also worth noting that at this time Sloth_monkey was preoccupied primarily with wasting time, and as such was not quite as knowledgable as he is today. —Oh yeah. wastin' time.. doin' yo momma. ..beyotch.

Correspondance

Years after Sloth_monkey resurfacing the two engaged in many lengthy correspondances on a great many issues. It would seem that Sloth_monkey had failed to realize a great many things, and wentwj being the kind and noble person he is, took it apon himself to teach his greatest of foes. —Hear that? I'm the GREATEST!

During this time wentwj made great grounds on the project of developing a philosophical system he had began years early. It was also at this time that wentwj examined some of his core beliefs, and realized that many came up lacking, the most profound and noteable of these, was a drastic contradiction in the doctrine of determinism that would lead him to question even that which he once held dear. —Dude you are so wrong. Determinism totally makes sense.

The two would continue to correspond to this day, with wentwj often providing good logical reasoning for his positions, and Sloth_monkey often making up terms and concepts in order to confuse the issues as much as possible before ultimately providing a circular arugment. —Yeah. Good ol' absolute perfection. Gotta love it.— As such wentwj spends most of the debates correcting and fortifying the arguments of Sloth_monkey in order to advance knoweldge for both halves. —Dude. ....like. na ah.

Shatneromsism

Founding

Wentwj founded the one true religion of Shatnermosism, in which it is understood that William Shatner was an unextended essence which existed at the dawn of time, and helped form the creation of the very universe. In March 22, 1931 he took physical form and graced the earth with his presence.

Then in August 19, 1963 John Stamos created himself. John Stamos then being the only entity not created by Shatner was the only being who could rival his power. As such the two are always locked in an eternal, metaphysical, struggle for control of the universe.

Gracing Wikipedia

This was wentwj's largest conribution to wikipedia, was the development and supporting the entry for Shatnermosism. Sadly the entry was deleted within three days, as wikipedia and perhaps the world was not quite yet ready to recieve the truth

Upcoming Website

Wentwj will soon be creating a website for Shatnermosism, expect it to arrive at http://www.shatnermosism.com within the next year.

Right now the site is home to a PHP error. Enjoy.

Philosophy

Intro

Wentwj has an intense intrest in philosophy. Begining by studying primarily the ancient greek analytic philosophy, more recently he has spent more time with areas such as Existentialism, along with eastern thought, and Philosophers from the the 12th-20th century.

Philosophers

Philosophers wentwj finds worth noting, though not necessiarly because he agrees with them:

• Jean-Paul Sartre
• David Hume
• Albert Camus
• Plato
• Aristotle
• Spinoza
• John Locke
• Thomas Hobbes
• Immanuel Kant
• Gottfried Leibniz
• Neitzche
• John Stewart Mills
• Others I (the narrorator) don't feel like pointing out now

Computer Science

Programming

Unlike many wentwj enjoys programming very much. He generally does standard desktop programming, but as of lately has spent considerable time focusing instead on web development, specifically of xHTML/CSS and Javascript.

Theory

Wentwj has also taken an intrest in the Theory of Computer Science, with automata theory and the study of automata, and complexity theories. —What's that?

Wentwj's background in Computer Science has influenced his thoughts on many philosophical concepts, from the very basics of metaphysics, to determinism, and logic as a whole —HA! You mean it's misconstrued your otherwise good judgement! .........Determinism makes sense damn you!

The End

I'm (the narrorator) not done with this, however I will stop doing it now, and it will likely never be touched again. So with that I bid you all farewell.
