From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ese plan es tan vasto que la contribución de cada escritor es infinitesimal. Al principio se creyó que Tlön era un mero caos, una irresponsable licencia de la imaginación; ahora se sabe que es un cosmos y las íntimas leyes que lo rigen han sido formuladas, siquiera en modo provisional.
This plan is so vast that each writer's contribution is infinitesimal. At first it was believed that Tlön was a mere chaos, an irresponsible license of the imagination; now it is known that it is a cosmos and that the intimate laws which govern it have been formulated, at least provisionally.
— Jorge Luis Borges, proto-Wikipedian?
[edit] The man
I was born in the United States in the 1980s. I am a positive atheist, but find things to marvel at in most philosophies and ideologies. My areas of expertise are literature, languages, philosophy, and history. I have a special interest in Latin America, particularly Argentina and Uruguay. My favorite authors have long been Borges and Joyce, but I also strongly recommend Gaddis, Saramago, Southern, Nietzsche, Banville, and Stout, for various reasons. As far as politics goes, I'm something of an eco-socialist libertarian, but by no means dogmatic. In Usonian politics, I favor the Democrats.

The Barnstar of Good Humor |
You are, to be sure, eminently deserving of a barnstar for your substantive contributions (both to articles and at the language reference desk, in view of positive experiences at which many first-time visitors join the project), or even of one for the fact of remarkable concordance of the various stances enumerated on your user page with my views, but I think you to be, as I, inclined to jocularity, so I bestow this barnstar on you in appreciation not only of the general cordiality you radiate but also of the specific provenance of your user name, which I find particularly amusing.
