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 a nihilistic or, similarly, 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 ] 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, though through ].

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.
