[edit] Beliefs
- I am a capitalist, and a believer in democracy (as unfashionable as it is to hold such beliefs.)
- I oppose communism, statism, totalitarianism, fascism and terrorism. (as untrendy as it is to hold such beliefs these days).
- At the same time however I believe that such doctrines should be given the right of freedom of expression, even terrorist ideas should be discussed for it prevents ideas that we hold from becoming, as J. S. Mill said, a 'dead dogma'.
On the political compass I scored:
- Economic Left/Right: -0.38
- Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.74
Compare this with other Wikipedians, some of whom have their scores displayed on their user or talk pages.
Oh yeah, and for those on #wikipedia IRC:
- I am not an American.
- Je ne suis pas un Américain.
- Ich bin nicht ein Amerikaner.
- Non sono un americano
- No soy un americano
- Я не американец
[edit] Therapy?
As regards addiction to this encyclopedia, I seem to be safe, since I scored 91 (PHEW!!) on the "test".
- Too many Userboxes suck.
[edit] Awards
I was awarded this banal, fake barnstar by User:A Link to the Past. I recognise its status as an accessory and Baudrillardian necessity.
[edit] Wikipedia Work
- As a note, the reason for this page is to keep track of the articles I've edited all in one place without having to trawl through my contributions page. It is not, as might be thought to the visitors of other Wikipedian's pages, merely self-congratulatory, though of course, I cannot speak for my fellow editors entirely. --Knucmo2 17:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Templates I have created/edited
[edit] Projects
- My main project on here to compile encyclopedic articles on philosophical and musical knowledge.
[edit] Other Tasks
Hard Times- to get this article up to peer review standard - DONE. - 24/05/2005- North and South - ditto.
- Eradicate stubs on musicians and albums , making them more knowledgeable and informative. One such example I have 'destubbed' is Red Garland and Sonny Stitt: Red Garland,Sonny Stitt & Sonny Criss
- Clearup any inadequacies in any subject I have a shred of expertise in.
[edit] Things you can do
- Charles Peirce: This article needs a lot of help. The POV is way too idiosyncratic and the style is offputting for a general audience, to say the least. You will have to be willing to go to the mat, however, with the primary author, who has been banned but has reappeared under different names.
- Desert: At least narrow it down to being in philosophy, ethics, or morality. An actual article at any of these three would be nice, too.
- Cesare Cremonini: created "start-level", would need new eyes and hands.
- Fatalism: Stub-like. Needs to be cleaned up and expanded
- Aristotelianism: Needs to be expanded
- Logical argument: Needs work to be of use
- Sign / Symbol: Introductions contain too much technical jargon
- Catholic Probabilism: Pretty nearly straight from the old Catholic Encyclopedia
- Counterfactuals: Needs fuller and more accurate summary of main theories, as well as indication of philosophical importance in other topics, notably causation and inference.
- Human agency: Expand, correct, and reference. Any support for altering the name?
- Being and Nothingness: An Essay on Phenomenological Ontology Sartre's magnum opus, barely more than a stub
- Übermensch: desperately needs knowledgable attention
- Kant's Groundwork: re-write, expand
- Existentialism: in dire need of a cleanup and reworking of information
- African philosophy: needs a lot of work!
