User:Neutral Editor 645

Hi everyone,

I am Neutral Editor 645. I aim to contribute constructively to help maintain Wikipedia as an impartial and trustworthy source of free information for everyone, while also helping it grow as new knowledge is created in the world.

Wikipedia is one of the greatest gifts humanity has, but it is facing new challenges in light of culture wars and generally wider conflicts over information on the internet. It is our moral duty as volunteers, to set aside our own personal biases and protect free and impartial information, as much as possible.

Thank you!

About Me
I am a full-time academic, as well as a part-time author, activist and amateur chess player. I love learning languages (although I find that I need to spend all my language time allocation just perfecting and maintaining the ones I already know - there really is a limit to how many languages a normal working human being can reasonably speak, which is a tragedy). I try to also find the time to learn new things about the world around me. Recently I have been quite interested in reading about econometrics, microbiology, planetary science, cosmology and geometry, as these are areas of knowledge that I lack in, yet they are super interesting. Writing stories and drawing art are some of the proudest and most majestic acts a human being can do, so I try to do it, whenever I can find the time and motivation.

I love to meet people from different cultures and walks of life, as well as to experience different countries up close and maintain a global network of distant friendships of people who I can only meet sporadically every few years. The globalized life is a highly rewarding one.

I experience synaesthesia and so find it difficult to listen to any music that is not classical, with only a few rare exceptions. Classical music has an almost divine mathematical perfection. I honestly believe that composers such as Mozart and Beethoven were higher beings living among us; magnificent geniuses whose minds were a little closer to the divine higher intelligence behind this universe, on the frontier of music.

Areas of Expertise
My areas of knowledge are diverse. This is not to say "I am an expert on everything" or "I have absolute expertise in these fields" - neither are true; rather, I simply have many interests and focuses in life, for which I feel confident enough to contribute on Wikipedia. Such areas include:


 * Graph Theory
 * Combinatorics
 * Number Theory
 * Cryptography
 * Blockchain
 * Data Science
 * Astrophysics
 * Spaceflight
 * Genetics
 * Structural Biology
 * Physical Chemistry
 * Philosophy of Science
 * Chess Theory
 * Science Fiction
 * History of Europe
 * History of the Middle East
 * Classical Music
 * Opera
 * Ballet

My deepest expertise of course lies with the main areas that my academic research focuses on (which I shall be intentionally vague about here). The curse of trying to be a polymath is that you usually end up knowing a working knowledge of many things, but risk not being a true expert in any. I try to negotiate a middle ground between focused expertise and diversified knowledge. You can be the judge of how successful I am, at this.
