I am Nihiltres (IPA: /nɪhɪl̩tres/?), a Wikipedian. I edit a wide variety of articles, often ranging among things in which I am interested or with which I have an involvement. In addition, I do some general grunt work, ranging from patrolling the most recent changes to fixing up or creating templates. I am an administrator, and have been since May 2007. I claim no particular credentials save being well-read and having a genius-level IQ.

About me

I SMELL am a science student living in Pointe-Claire, on the island of Montreal. 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 political compass test, I scored as -4.92 on an economic scale of left versus right, and -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 Buddhist-flavored transcendental pluralism. I therefore follow the Five Precepts 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 transcendentally 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 username

My pseudonym is arbitrary: it is Latin 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 nihilism. I am not specifically nihilistic, but I do at times value the nihilistic point of view. The strangest connection that has been made with my username to another topic is the "-tres" to Moltres. 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.
