Talk:Boris Sidis

message: Boris Sidis had no grandchildren. Boris had two children, William and Helena, but neither of whom had children. However, Boris' wife, Sarah, came from the large Mandelbaum family. Sarah's sister, Bessie , was Clifton Fadiman's mother. 
This  source correctly identifies Clifton as Sarah's nephew, William's cousin, and Bessie as William's aunt. This  source does not.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nabuking (talk • contribs) 10:42, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

message: "He was the maternal grandfather of Clifton Fadiman, the noted American intellectual."
Maybe so, and our Clifton Fadiman calls him grandfather, but also identifies his mother as Grace Fadiman nee Mendelbaum. (I have not marked this article, only that one.)
"See External Links for source of much of the details of Sidis's life from unpublished archive documents by his wife and daughter."
Better, all children should be identified. And if daughter Grace(?) took her mother's maiden name although her mother did not retain it, that may be notable if the reason is known. --P64 (talk) 17:20, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Sigmund Freud the man of the cocaine for all,
he attached all to a sexual tension, dreams and a clash with parents, nice way to mislead all analysis to "against those two/your family" (sometimes can be, but as general receipt,....
For example Sigmund Freud suppossed that the pain of someone on a losed arm is a signal of restrained sexual frustrations and familiy crash,.... crap.
It is now solved just with a mirror! the brain use visual feedback for fine tuning of electric neuron signals to operate the body, as the brain can not see the arm, it did not release the electric tension in the correspondent neuron, ending in a pain, the mirror allows to see your "other arm" in the place of the one failing, you just release the tension, open the arm, the brain take the order of muscle tension release, and the pain is gone! (nice&simple)
Sigmund Freud was sinlose, as Boris Sidis appointed.
