Welcome.

Contributions to Wikipedia

I wrote most of communitarianism and worked on other political articles like political spectrum, same-sex marriage, and the Nolan chart. I would like to someday work on metaphysical topics such as epiphenomenalism- a task for which I'm probably better qualified.

Theoretical biases

If I believe something that I shouldn't, contact me; I love a good debate. As seen by historical versions here, I can change my beliefs.

Beyond Wikipedia

I am a student at the University of California, Berkeley.

Political spectrums

I've proposed a new model of the political spectrum. Essentially, it has three axes; ideal social order, ideal economic order, and level of government power advocated. While I see no obvious flaws with it, for example false predictions, I don't think it is a final solution, if such a thing could be said to exist. I'm actually working on a new one, which should be interesting.

Proposal: Wikibate

I've made a proposal for a future Wikimedia project; Wikibate, or Wiki Debate. Adam contacted me about a similar project he had started, and I got involved in starting that up. I'd like to see it endorse by Wikimedia, but if the project is never endorsed by Wikimedia we'll have a project ready to go. I encourage anyone interested to take a look; you can check out 'Recent Changes' to see current issues, particularly regarding organization.

Mozilla

Not very involved anymore, but I did some work with theming and coded the solution to Bug 222799.

Weltanschauung Not sure if I agree, but here is an assessment of my world view:

You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.
