I am a science student living in ], on the ]. As I am a student, it's possible to roughly estimate my age, however I would discourage people from guessing my age because I wish to be ageless on Misplaced Pages, being judged instead on the quality of my contributions and the cogency of arguments which I put forth.

It should generally be assumed that people are inherently biased - as such, I reason that it would be appropriate to disclose these biases. In terms of political standpoint, I tend to be reasonably liberal - according to the , I scored as {{nowrap|-4.92}} on an economic scale of left versus right, and {{nowrap|-5.25}} on a social scale of libertarianism versus authoritarianism. In terms of spirituality, I am ''nominally'' a Protestant, though I abandoned those beliefs a number of years ago and now prefer the idea of ]-flavored transcendental pluralism. I therefore follow ] and some other tenets of Buddhism, but am otherwise agnostic. In terms of "transcendental pluralism", I mean it that I hold one's beliefs to be generally ] true for oneself. Aside from this pluralism, I greatly dislike dogma in general, especially those which can be categorized as pseudoscience, although I acknowledge that any argument involving an omnipotent being is necessarily inductive in nature.

My pseudonym is arbitrary: it is ] for "nothingthree" (''nihil'' = nothing, ''tres'' = three) and does not imply anything whatsoever. Several Wikipedians have at various times questioned me as to its meaning, usually making connections to ]. I am not specifically nihilistic, but I do at times value the nihilistic or minimalist point of view for its philosophical clarity.

In reality, it was an interesting compromise: I originally wanted to be ''Nemo'', ] for "nobody", but the famous captain of ]'s story ] had ruined the obscurity of the word for me. Further, I tried "Nihil", but that was taken. I dislike numbers in names, but adding a number as text sounded fine, so I added one of my favourite numbers, three, in the same Latin as my alternate "Nihil", to form my now endemic username, Nihiltres.

The strangest connection that has been made with my username to another topic is the "-tres" to ], whose name happens to have similarly borrowed "tres" from Latin.

I tend to use the same username across the internet, Nihiltres, but occasionally I am known as '''Shade''', a name I will sometimes prefer when it is, rarely, available. </div>

I'm Nihiltres, a Misplaced Pages editor since April 2005 and administrator since May 2007.
A section from Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights
A section from Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights

I often use this sub-section of Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights as a pseudonymous visual identity. Contact information:

I'm Nihiltres (/nɪˈhɪlˌtɹɛs/; ni-HIL-tres), a Misplaced Pages editor since April 2005 and administrator since May 2007. My pseudonym is arbitrary: it is Latin for "nothingthree" (nihil → "nothing", tres → "three") and does not imply anything whatsoever. I'm originally from Pointe-Claire, Quebec, on the island of Montreal in Canada, but I currently live in Rockville, Maryland, near Washington, D.C. in the United States.
