Profile: NOT "Verified". Published scholarly works are inherent "verification", ipso facto. I would NEVER, on tech-informed and ideologically informed principle, tie ANY 'verification' to some cancellable 'device' third-party-managed account. This profile has been updated in part, reflecting my principle of "Never become dependent on someone's fickle 'policies'." My selected works (posted with publisher permission) have been correspondingly file-migrated from Academia.edu to a Cloud that is (thus far) within Swiss jurisdiction and legal framework. The offprints are accessible to all. Research Fields (brief): Medieval/Early Modern; Military; Archaeology; Paleography; Forensic / Special-Tasks GIS and mapping; Maritime; Human Heritage; 3D; undeclared other. Interests (brief): Texts; Linguistics + 'chains-of-transmission'; epigraphy; diplomatics, Hebraica; Islamica; undeclared others. Identity: Biological MAN (that means: _manas_, मनस्, मन). 100% unmodified DNA. Athletic. 'Pronouns'-free. 'Smart'phone free. 16 languages & dialects + various ancient scripts. 2 + 2 fingers ≠ 5. I consider 'compelled speech' and 'compelled thought' to be tyranny. I always 'do my own research'. Mandated dogma & ideology? I see no reason why I should defer to those. "J'ai retiré, de l'expérience, cette certitude -- qu'il ne faut pas se confier ... pas converser de ses secrets ..." (Georges Sand). "L’homme libre est celui qui n’a pas peur d’aller jusqu’au bout de sa pensée" (L. Blum) "When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons" (A. Nin) "When _words lose their meaning_, people lose their _freedom_” (attr. Kǒng Fūzǐ) "Plus on prendra de soin pour ravir aux hommes la liberté de la parole, plus obstinément ils résisteront" (Baruch Spinoza, 1632-1677) "Вы судите по костюму? Никогда не делайте этого. Вы можете ошибиться." (M. A. Bulgakov) "I dnešní den znova / vždy bojí se slova / a s dětskými vlčky / zas točí se mlčky / i cvičení lidé" (K. Kryl, songwriter and dissident) "А факт — самая упрямая в мире вещь" (M. A. Bulgakov)

Emergency assistance to an academic institution. Solicited. I am _unwilling_ to repeat the experience, on _ANY_ 'compelled speech' ideological terms.
Unplanned emergency assistance to an institution: rescuing courses (enrolled, in progress) stranded by faculty member's 'sudden' absence. Total waste of time. Huge mistake. Unwilling to repeat at ANY point.
An excusable and rather idealistic mistake. In terms of analytical comprehension of institutional dynamics, it was a valuable in-the-field experience.
