thread_title:  Vermont Governors 

message: Thomas Chittenden is listed here as the first and third governor of the independent Vermont Republic and as the first governor of the State(-of-the-Union) of Vermont.  Vermont's admission to the Union was done differently from what was done with (if I'm not mistaken) most (or all?) states admitted later.  The government of the entity calling itself the State of Vermont (often described now as the independent Vermont Republic) simply continued to function when Vermont was admitted to the Union: when the state was admitted to the Union, Governor Chittenden was not sworn in to a new office as governor of the State(-within-the-Union) of Vermont, but simply continued his one-year term begun less than five months earlier; and likewise other officers of the state; and no new constitution of the state went into effect, but the 1786 Constitution of the State of Vermont simply continued in effect.  For many purposes internal to the state, no new entity superseded the republic that before March 4, 1791 was independent of the United States.  The table gives an impression that Chittenden's term as governor of the independent republic ended, and his term as governor of a state within the Union began, when Vermont was admitted to the Union.  But nothing like that happened.  His term as the third governor of the independent republic and his term as the "first" governor of a state within the Union were not in fact two different terms: they were both the same one-year term that began in October 1790 and ended in October 1791.  Chittenden was elected 19 times, not 20.

Talk:Gray death (disambiguation)

message: -FOR THE PURPOSES OF MAKING THE PAGE COMPLETE, SPOILERS MAY BE DISCUSSED HERE-
CCFreak2K: The Grey Death is a nanovirus, possibly designed to control the world population (my memory of the story is a bit spotty).  The Grey Death was a birthchild of Morgan Everett and Bob Page, which was brought over to the Majestic 12 by Bob Page and eventually finished.  The Grey Death is synthesized using Universal Constructers, only 3 of which exist.  The cure for the Grey Death is a (nanomachine?) chemical named Ambrosia.  Ambrosia is distrobuted by FEMA (I think) and is shipped to areas of high importance and thos e that need it the most (I think)(this includes political figures such as Governer Doe mentioned in the Deus Ex intro).  The NSF plays into this because they steal shipments of Ambrosia (out of spite?).  The "Grey" in Grey Death could be akin to Grey Goo.  Please correct me in any or all of this as you create the article and please excuse any formatting problems, quirks, etc.
My understanding of the name of the Grey Death (I have no source for this, this is just my intuition) is that it's a variation on Black Death, but it's called "grey" because of the condition of the sufferers. If you look at the victims in-game, their faces are ashen and greyed and their behaviour seems to indicate that their bodies are just slowly deteriorating; presumably on the cellular level since it's a nanovirus. It could also be a reference to Grey Goo, you're right. Neither theory is supported by canon evidence as far as I know.
It is indeed a control mechanism; regulation of the vaccine, Ambrosia (which is also composed of nanomachines, since it too can only be made using Universal Constructors) is strictly controlled by FEMA. FEMA is using this power to control the government; "if you don't do what we tell you to do, we'll cut off your Ambrosia supply and you and your family will die a slow and horrible death". (Evidently Ambrosia has to be taken regularly in order to ward off the Grey Death, so it's not really a vaccine as such.)
The NSF aren't stealing shipments of Ambrosia out of spite; they're doing it to "give the Ambrosia to the people" instead of FEMA and the people being coerced by them, in order to try and disrupt the power of FEMA and MJ12 and the rest. They're actually the good guys of the story. Well, compared to FEMA and Majestic 12, anyway... Crispy 11:32, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Vasubandhu

message: * I appreciate one contributor's change from "consciousness only" to "representation only". Thich Nhat Hanh uses the term "manifestation only" (see for example pp2-4 of Transformation at the Base). I have not cracked the code yet, but several writers insist that Vasubandhu and the western idealists had rather different intentions. 
* On "mind" vs. "consciousness" vs. "manifestion" vs. "representation", there is an article I haven't read with the tantalizing title "The Meaning of vijnapti in Vasubandhu's Conception of Mind," Bruce Cameron Hall, Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies, v9, 1986, pp7-23
* Also according to Nhat Hahn (ibid p6n11), Sylvain Levi discovered Sanskrit originals of Vasubandu in the 1920s. Which, if any, English translations are from the Sanskrit? From Tibetan? From Chinese?
* FWIW, according to the bibliography oflink The Magic of Consciousness by Lin Chen-Kuo, Kizo Inazu's Bonkanwa Taiso Sechin Yuishikiron Genten reproduces Sanskrit originals of the Twenty Verses and Thirty Verses.
Somebody has changed "representation" to "consciousness".  Popular though the latter is, it is not the meaning of Sanskrit vijñapti.  See the above comments.--Stephen Hodge 17:39, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

message: "Based on the criterion of embarrassment, scholars argue that the early Christian Church would not have invented the painful death of their leader.[15]"  The point of the worst death was to have the best martyr. i.e.: "Our guy suffered as much or more than anyone ever and still forgives all of you due to his maximum greatness (provided you believe), therefore he is the best."  Why wouldn't they invent it?  If they said he died of old age or by falling off a donkey, how would that make him a martyr with ultimate bragging rights? D3drturner (talk) 23:35, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The sentence you left out immediately preceding is important. In the most cynical view, the point would not be how much he suffered, but how degraded he was. If they wanted to invent a grody but "cool" death like you imply, they should've said the Romans fed him to lions. It takes active acclimation for us to understand how humiliating crucifixion was in the Roman world, see what happened to Spartacus's friends. Remsense诉 00:29, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The point was not to invent a "cool death", but rather a maximum martyr. Crucifixion was the death of the lowest of the low, who were the people that the early Christian Church were targeting the hardest. Under those circumstances, Crucifixion was virtually the perfect option.  Wdford (talk) 09:47, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: By "cool", I meant "compelling". I think your point is too projective, there's not any evidence that there was this sort of deconstructive narrativizing or that it would be received this way from early converts.
