I am a science student living in [[Pointe-Claire, Quebec|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 Wikipedia, 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 [http://www.politicalcompass.org/ 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 [[Buddhism|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 [[wikt:transcendental|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. |
