Hi, I'm Wyatt.
I was born 17 December 1970 (Star sign: Sagittarius - fortunately Sagittarii don't believe in Astrology)
I was raised in "Darkest Africa" in the City of Joburg (spelled without an apostrophe), (formerly Johannesburg), largest city in South Africa. I have a degree in Applied Chemistry.
I worked for what was then the second largest gold mining company in the world (Anglo American)*1 as a senior chemist while trying to catch gold thieves. I spent the last 17 years as a tourist guide mostly in Johannesburg and Soweto.
In 2017 my wife and I decided to retire and since then I've spent a lot of time working in our garden.
I trade derivatives at night (day time for you western hemisphere people) and listen to many podcasts during the day. I'm interested in fostering scepticism because we need more of it everywhere.
My self-set target contribution of 0.004% to English Wikipedia and 0.25% to Afrikaans Wikipedia was reached after two years, and I have slowed down significantly.
Trivia item: Almost everybody in South Africa speaks at least 2 languages and some as many as 11.[1]
Notes:
*1. Anglo American sold its last gold holdings in South Africa in Feb 2020.[2]
