I am a fan of Rationalwiki because

 * 1) Here are rational analyses of kooky ideas. A great combination!
 * 2) Here is a good place to leave a list. Ha ha!
 * 3) I enjoy the snarky humor here. What a relief!

A good book

 * Corrupted Science: Fraud, ideology and politics in science by John Grant

For the record

 * The "Objectivist" poets had nothing to do with Ayn Rand. If I knew more, I think I would despise Ayn Rand. Instead, I read George Oppen, William Carlos Williams, Louis Zukofsky, Ezra Pound, the other "Objectivists," and Black Mountain, Beat, and L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets, especially David Bromige.
 * If self-promotion were to be regarded as suspicious activity then I would expect to find counsel against it at Community_Standards, and I would not expect to find examples of it in administrators&rsquo; user pages.

Self-promotion (if allowed)

 * I am a member of Seldovia Village Tribe, and a retired technical writer and programmer from IBM.
 * I am one of the poets named Tom Sharp. If you were interested in my work, you may find it at Books by Tom Sharp, and you may find in it thousands of ideas, many of which I believe in, and many of which I do not.
 * You may be interested in two books that I am actively working on:
 * The book of science - poetry and commentary on milestones in the history of science.
 * The Book of Beliefs - Strange beliefs, topics that I would not write about in The book of science.
