The left discriminated against whites and Jews and the creation of the Jim Crow laws but we don’t bring this up? This information is hugely biased.

Talk:Reflexive monism

message: As the history tab shows, the entry on Reflexive Monism originally appeared in Wikipedia in December 2006 (source unknown) with a request to fill in information about it. As I was the originator of this philosophical position it seemed appropriate to supply a short stub that summarises the position in 2007.This summary quotes directly from text of the book Understanding Consciousness (2000) in which the position was originally developed. As the author, it did not seem appropriate to go further than that. Quite a few independent sources for reflexive monism can be found by typing "reflexive" and "monism" into Google. Many commentaries on reflexive monism can also be found in the reviews of Understanding Consciousness (editions 1 and 2) - see for example Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com. Reflexive monism has many additional features not mentioned in the stub, elaborated in my main book Understanding Consciousness and many academic papers that have been discussed or referred to in the field of consciousness studies. In some cases the discussions have been extensive, for example the 40 published commentaries on my target article in the Behavioral and Brain Sciences on "Is human information processing conscious?" and the 12 commentaries on my target article in the Journal of Consciousness Studies on "How could conscious experiences affect brains?" (published along with replies in 2002 and 2003). In recent years scholars in India have become interested in this position on the grounds that it forms a potential bridge between modern Western philosophical/psychological thought and classical Vedic writings. In response to a request from a Wiki editor for an independent source for this I recently added a reference to the stub relating to an extensive discussion of these connections by K.Ramakrisna Rao (2011) (see entry on Koneru Ramakrishna Rao in Wikipedia). If I can help any editor with more specific information to improve this entry following Wikepedia standards let me know. M Velmans (talk) 13:17, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Toledo 5

message: Is Toledo 5 as the article is being called now actually discontinued or does it still technically exist by way of WTVG acquiring its programming inventory and cable channel position? In certain articles pertaining to CW Plus affiliates (of which Toledo 5 was not, despite being available only through cable at the time WTVG took over the CW affiliation for Toldeo), the local affiliate of that service is established as continuing to exist by way of ownership transactions that led to a pure-play OTA broadcaster acquiring rights to its programming and advertising services upon converting the local CW Plus outlet into an over-the-air broadcast affiliate. Doesn't it apply in this case? It's very similar to that. TVtonightOKC (talk) 19:13, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Modern Pyrrhonism 

message: pyrrhonian skepticism is a much more radical view than fallibilism. the former says that we might be wrong; the latter that there would be no way of knowing if we were. obviously the skeptical claim is logically stronger.

thread_title:  Criticism of Pyrrhonism? 

message: There's a fair amount of direct citation of primary sources like Sextus and Diogenes in this article, which is especially problematic for Pyrrhonism because they are contradicted by other ancient sources such as Cicero, Aristocles, etc. The short of it is that modern scholars are more hesitant to ascribe claims made about Early Pyrrhonism in the 4th century BCE that are not supported by disinterested sources. There's also the matter of the influence from Buddhism - we should discuss this, but it seems from the sources like it's more tentative than currently presented in this article.  - car chasm (talk) 18:41, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

There were some nuclear weapons specialists, and submarine nuclear propulsion was envisioned, but an actual project never existed.

:"The World Dance Council Ltd, until 1st June 2006 known as the World Dance & Dance Sport Council Ltd (WD&DSC), fomerly the International Council of Ballroom Dancing (ICBD), was established on 22nd September 1950 in Edinburgh, Scotland."
