I was once a regular contributor to Wikipedia. I have since lost almost all interest. If you need to contact me, good luck.

About me
Hello! My name is Doug and I am a New Zealander. I have qualifications in pharmacology, psychology and philosophy. I have been a Wikipedian since August 2004, however I have not been a regular editor since about 2009. What's with the name?
It doesn't mean anything really. It's just a vague reference to the philosophy of Aristotle and other thinkers. See the article first principles for a rough idea.
