Hello all.

I've split this into two sections: things that, due to my place in the world, have become "normal" to my mind, and things that are deliberately adopted as part of my point of view and/or belief system. If I don't think it's relevant to my endeavours at Wikipedia, I won't include it. However, I understand these lists will expand as what meets that criterion changes.

This section is not an invitation to make ad-hominem attacks on my edits and arguments. Everyone has bias, and I am no exception. By disclosing the bias I am aware of, I hope, among other things, to defuse that kind of ad-hominem attack as well as to prevent biases I don't hold from being ascribed to me.

Normalised parts of me
By no choice of my own, these are things that filter how I see the world:
 * male gender
 * Western world
 * capitalism
 * UK
 * public and University education

Adopted biases
I am, by choice...
 * socialist
 * areligious/secular
 * mildly anti-capitalist
 * mildly anti-communist
 * pacifist
 * anti-war
