Hi!!! My name is Efiiamagus... (not my real name of course)
I am a Doctor of Medicine, and a Psychiatrist. Before that, I finished course work in a PhD in Evolutionary Biology; I also have the following postgraduate certificates/diplomates(diplomados): Thanatology; Neuro-psychology; Scientific Method and Gnoseology; Philosophy and The Critique of Being (Filosofía y Critica del Ser). Since my academical interests are now my own, I decided to follow Medicine, Psychiatry and the Human Mind as my research focus. My favorite topic of discussion (lately) is Magical Thinking.
I am also a scientist, I used to be a researcher in the field of Human Genetics and Evolution. I imparted the following course/lectures at the university: Evolution; Compared Anatomy and Pathological Anatomy; Physiology; Pharmacology; Research and the Scientific Method (Investigación y Metodo Científico).
I am analytical, rational and logical... centered and equanimous.
I had 2 other "formal" accounts since 2003 (now the passwords lost in memory due to not using them frequently) also have been an anonymous (IP) editor for quite a while... but recently (since I have more time now) I have decided to join wikipedia "formally" to contribute more.
"Truth, courage and strength, may you heart always strive for those. Disdain the liar, the weak and the coward. They will diminish you, and only seek to reduce to nothing your efforts."
The Wikipedia project and the view of a database of encyclopedic knowledge, free and for all to contribute, is a noble endeavor. Wikipedia like all human endeavors is not without fault. So please before entering in a discussion, read these important subjects:
..and also this (comedic) essays:
I think it's rather counterproductive to dwell in the past, since we make our future by the choices of the Present. I prefer to live in the Now. The entire Earth is a schoolhouse, so I am in a constant state of learning and bettering myself. I am happy to have learned a great deal from past experiences.
Only the person who has faith in himself is able to be faithful to others. Selfish persons are incapable of loving others, but they are not capable of loving themselves either. Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love. - E.Fromm
Accumulating wealth and material things is not of my interest. I like to keep my life simple, and with the minimum of excess... Imported European living room furniture at my home or an exotic sports car in my garage is not my idea of success...

"He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it." - H. Melville, Moby Dick.
