Our knowledge can only be finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite. - Karl Popper

[edit] A poem

Mann suggests that when Cortés arrived with his guns, germs, and steel to conquer the Aztecs (or Mexica) an American flowering of non-supernatural thought and philosophy may have been destroyed at the same time. Agnosticism and monotheism were emerging from shamanism and animism, a process wasted when Tenochtitlan burned.

Or almost wasted. Attributed to Nezahualcoyotl:

Not forever on earth; only a little while here.
Be it jade, it shatters.
Be it gold, it breaks.
Be it quetzal feather, it tears apart.
Not forever on earth; only a little while here.

I began contributing in Febuary 2005

I am a Canadian currently living in the United Arab Emirates

While I have many opinions regarding Wikipedia, I don't think it useful to clutter up my user page with them

[edit] Right Featured Article Work

[edit] Other article work

I don't have an exceptional number of start-ups. I've crudely divided my articles created into arts and science.

I'm a generalist on Wiki. High-volume pages watched and contributed to include Anti-Americanism, Extraterrestrial life, Astrology, and Islamic terrorism. None of these are particularly good (though better than they might be); all have informed my attitude to the mainspace editing environment and thus I present them. Right now I'm working on Norte Chico.
