Hello, I'm Jacob. I've made it my new year's resolution to start editing Wikipedia.

Why?

Because it's a replacement for procrastination on social media sites and YouTube.
Because it incentivises me to read more about the topics I'm interested in.
Because I read a lot of Wikipedia, and contributing seems like the right thing to do.

Article areas of interest

Chinese philosophy, particularly the Zhuangzi, Xuanxue and specifically Guo Xiang.

Western philosophy, specifically Alexius Meinong, Franz Brentano and the School of Brentano, and Martin Heidegger.

Possibly some computing articles like HarmonyOS and Emacs.

Possibly some finance articles.

Why is your name yaqubroli?

I was told once that if I lost a bet, I'd have to legally change my name to Broly. I didn't end up doing this, but I did end up changing my online nickname to jacobroly. Then someone from Xinjiang told me my name in Uyghur would be Yaqub, and I thought that sounded cooler, so on everything I signed up for, I combined the two.
