There is no Cabal


Etymology

  • Paleo (old, ancient)
  • Neonate (baby, weeks old)

I have chosen this nickname because I have been around Wikipedia a long time, then suddenly decided to create an account, and a number of general WP procedures were still very new to me at account creation time. I only use this name on the WMF projects.

Background

I am a male born in the seventies in Canada. I am not notable. Although I long resisted creating an account, I have made edits to Wikipedia on and off since January 2005. This account was finally created on February 2017.

My specialty is computer science but I rarely edit in the area. Favorite sports are swimming, soccer and taekwondo. Amateur-level interests include: music, biology (and evolution), medicine, geology, paleontology, archaeology, anthropology, cosmology, physics, climatology, environmentalism and religion (from the perspectives of anthropology, sociology, neurology and literature).

I was raised as a fundamentalist creationist but have grown out of it over time through education, research, critical thinking and knowledge; I am now an agnostic who has ceased to believe in the supernatural. I'm also a regular reader of the science reference desk.

I compose and produce recordings. I like fusion jazz, smooth jazz, flamenco, Indian, Turkish, world music, various forms of electronic music and religious music, mostly instrumental. I have some interest in the history and fabrication of instruments. Music is the art through which I can feel and express my "spirituality" today.

Venues

Note: parts of this section may be outdated and likely to be rewritten.

As I find that most articles I could think of already exist, I have decided to create an account, and to as time permits use the following categories to find articles to improve (provided for myself and others who may find them useful):
