I occasionally get asked about my moniker (nick). If you are familiar with Latin then you already know that Unus Nemo means no one. Though that is applicable my moniker is multi-faceted. Meaning there are several reasons that I chose this moniker to name myself. As opposed to my given name which I was labeled with at birth.

In Latin unus nemo is a phrase that means no one. Though, there is more to my moniker than just accepting that I am no one. Unus means one and nemo means nobody and both individual words are as meaningful to me as the phrase. I am One meaning that I am self-fulfilling and require no other components to be me. The influences of others and their behavior do not depict or control who I am. I am Nobody because in the universe I have a very finite time of existence and when I am gone, I am. The only significance I hold is to my own reality that is a construct of what I accept from my environment as true or at least rational in relation to non-falsey topics.

First and foremost I consider myself to be a humanitarian as I have a great appreciation for humanity, if not so much for our societies current evolution. I am a software architect, developer, poet, mathematician and much more. I have a profound love of life and I believe that humanities purpose is to learn to enjoy it. After all if you fail to enjoy your life what else matters? You have failed. I am labeled an atheist as I do not believe in a god that is in a relationship with its creation nor that there is a god at all. I have been strongly influenced, from a philosophical point not a spiritual point, by secular Buddhism. I do not believe in anything spiritual. I believe their are those things we know. Those things we are still learning about and things we know nothing about yet. There is no room in my ideology for the concept of natural and supernatural. In my belief everything is natural that fits into one of the categories I previously mentioned. Like everyone, I have opinions. Unlike most it is not important to me that you value my opinions. My reality is not yours and vice versa. We did not live through the same environmental conditions and learn our views (opinions) of them together and come to a consensus or agreement of any kind. It is not that I do not value your opinion. It is just not mine, as in it does not belong to me. It belongs to you and is a part of your ideology. That does not mean it is not valuable. It just has no metric in my life. Likewise I understand that the same rational applies to my own opinion. Hence my not feeling a need to have people agree with my opinions (view, ideology).

Well that is very least I can describe who I am. Of course I could break it down even further and get into even more details. Though I suspect no one has even read this far 😉. So why continue? Take care of who you are and enjoy your life!
