2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $7608.77Goal: $10000

About Me[edit]

  • An XKCD comic that referenced Roko's Basilisk (along with a visit to "ExplainXKCD") led me here in the first place, if I recall correctly. After reading through the wiki for a couple of months, I decided to create an account.
  • I have some former experience with editing wikis. In high school, I frequented a couple of video game wikis.
  • I'm a bit constrained on time for the moment, so odds are most of my edits will be pretty minor to start.
  • I have a BS in mechanical engineering, with a concentration in aerospace (make of that what you will.) In practical terms, this means I know a bit about acoustics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and Newtonian mechanics. I also managed to bumble my way through an introductory quantum mechanics course, and have very basic knowledge on the subject. I can answer basic questions on these, but you're probably better off asking someone more invested in the sciences.
