About Me
I've come to realise I've been neglecting the Nexus over the past few months, so I've decided to go back to it and to blogging by sharing a few of my Blogger entries on here as well. After all, blogging is pretty pointless without some proper feedback from other thinking minds - plentiful on this website.

Ok, here we go. The name's Fabio, 23, Italian. My Italianness ends where my passport does, I'm not your average Italian. For one, I actually speak English. I'm also a public and vocal atheist, quite the rarity in this country. All in all I'm your average university student however - translation studies BA, studying for an MRes in neurolinguistics at University College London, hopefully a prelude to a PhD on the subject. I'm highly opinionated and tend to be somewhat vocal - bordering on pathological prickness if you factor in my tendency to be brutally honest - when it comes to expressing my opinions on a subject I deem important. I also tend to be rather cynical and a bit of a misanthrope at times, and that might not make me the easiest person to be around, but I like to think that what I lack in sheer public relations I can make up for in friendliness, witty humour and sarcasm - loads of it, be prepared - when you actually get to know me.

How would I describe my world view? Well, I'm not much into world views in the first place, as they very easily turn into ideologies with universal ambitions. I guess you might call me a naturalist, anyway, albeit a relatively unusual one. As such I obviously trust science and reason rather than blind faith. Nevertheless, I suppose you could say I live my relationship with science with a high degree of openness to the alleged impossible, but not so much that my brain falls out. As Arthur C. Clarke put it, "if an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that it is impossible, he is very probably wrong." Needless to say, such an inclination to even consider - however remote - the likelihood of some phenomena most define as paranormal or plain rubbish has earned me some contempt from the most intransigent wing of even the atheistic community, as if considering extraterrestrial life even as much as probable would make me "less of an atheist." I fight dogmatism in all of its forms and regardless of the side it comes from, never giving up my right and ability to rationally scrutinise and dissect just about everything.

Greetings, Fabio! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus since Feb. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

hello Fabio,how are you? I saw you were back on MF, fighting that ignoratio named LL.

Hi Fabio,

Ineke has been hard at work battling the stupidity known as LL. I was glad to see you had come back to help keep him on his toes. I have not as much time to battle the creationist as I did before but I still try and get a few comments in now and again.

Keep those with a mind virus at bay,
William

You back to MF to help straighten out the uneducated who will lie to promote their belief in creationism/ID. Thanks.
