Did you know
... that some philosophers of mathematics believe that the life cycle of a species of cicadas is a good argument for the existence of numbers?

If I did THIS.... would it mean anything to you

Hi, I'm shapeyness (formerly Alduin2000)

I'm always happy to answer questions^[a] – you can find my talk page here.

I edit in a range of topics but I'm most proud of my work in articles related to philosophy, particularly Quine–Putnam indispensability argument. I started editing on Wikipedia about internet culture and YouTubers; more recently I've been editing articles on topics nostalgic in one way or another, from silly children's poems to cheesy detective FMV games. Here is a list of articles I'm proud I contributed to.

I prefer to stick to creating and reviewing content – I tend to stay away from the most behind-the-scenes stuff. I also find searching for free images images rewarding, although my searches probably aren't all that sophisticated (mainly Google!). I find that YouTube can be particularly helpful if other places don't return results, although image quality can be variable. Searching university archives directly also sometimes turns up good finds. I've been particularly happy to find good free images for Penelope Maddy, Charles Parsons, Alvin Goldman, and Alexius Meinong.

To do/reminders: transparency of experience, Penelope Maddy, companions in guilt argument, try to write a good history section for philosophy of mathematics (see sources here, draft here), possible future improvements to explanatory indispensability argument
