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 ![]() ![]() |

“”I fear death, and that's good. I will never overcome my fear of death, and that's not bad. "I fear death" are not the words of a coward but only those of a hero.

I'm a non-religious[note 1] agnostic[note 2] atheist[note 3] who regularly handles spelling, grammar, formatting, citations, & streamlining. I seldom add or alter substantive content. When I do, it's always either adding uncontroversial factual explanations from a neutral point of view or cutting out excessive snark/bias. I rarely post opinions on talk pages.
For those who wonder why I refrain from delving into this community's culture of some SPOV, humor, sarcasm, skepticism, satire, and wit, it's because I don't want to lose myself in an echo chamber. I perform copy editing because polishing something's aesthetics satisfies me regardless of that piece's contents. I add neutral, uncontroversial facts and eliminate clutter because it helps hone my writing skills. When I write opinion pieces, I always mark them as such and use talk pages. I have no desire to open my floodgates to whatever online bubble has accumulated in this pseudo-group blog. I can detect the pressure from reading and won't add to it by writing for it. Though I have much more to say about culture, I'm unskilled at synthesizing convoluted opinions and will spare you my trying.
I registered my RationalWiki account on 2021-11-20 at 03:55, became autopatrolled at 16:44, and confirmed my email at 17:00. I became autoconfirmed one day later on 2021-11-21 at 03:55. As of 2022-01-21 at 17:26, I am a ninja. As of 2022-02-18 at 03:55, I am eligible for voting. The RationalWiki Ministry of Demotion and Personal Impediment demoted me to a sysop on 2022-02-19 at 04:58.
I am a Wikipedian with autoconfirmed accounts and user pages on every Wikimedia Foundation project I'm fluent in. I participate in fandoms, troping, archiving, and battleboarding.
