Just an afterthought: I can't help asking myself, why do people hate George Floyd so much that they get themselves blocked in order to besmirch his reputation ? Maybe the answer has been given by Dostoevsky in his The Brothers Karamazov, when he has the old Karamazov say: "I played such a foul trick on a certain man that I started to hate him." If the roots of old racism were economic interests, maybe today's racism is rooted in bad conscience. Rsk6400 ( talk) 07:17, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
I learned about her when I was reading The Boys on the Bus, where the (iirc) one and only mention of her is the author introducing some random thing she said with "Michelle [sic] Clark, a young, extremely beautiful black reporter from CBS's Chicago Bureau had said [...]" and then in a footnote he says "On December 8, 1972, she was killed in a plane crash at Chicago's Midway Airport". I was like, dang, what a way to memorialize someone: I thought she was hot, then she died. Astrophobe ( talk) 04:03, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Generalrelative. You recently implemented an edit request for Jo Boaler. I thanked you on Talk:Jo Boaler in the context of an additional edit request. I would appreciate if you could go have a look at that request, found here: Talk:Jo Boaler#2021 California Math Framework 2. Thanks in advance, MeanderingWalrus ( talk) 17:39, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

I'll inflict it on you anyway, here it is:
Never heard of either (guessing you meant to link American Renaissance (magazine)), but according to WP, they are not very similar to Quillette. Unz does say "blog" btw. Fwiw, I wouldn't add either, assuming they're not blacklisted so I could, so maybe our common sense does have some overlap after all. To me, those articles do look awful for this purpose. The Q is just, long, dull, and me-me-me-whiny. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 19:14, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

As advised by an admin, I took a step back from Heiner Rindermann and now realise that you were completely justified in reverting my edits, given that I had been canvassed by a banned user, and that my reaction was unduly confrontational. I'll try to be more collaborative. Nangaf ( talk) 06:04, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Sorry to be bothering you again about an issue we discussed on FTN three years ago (here: [1]). At that time you and some other editors convinced me that I was wrong in thinking that the medical claims for psychedelic therapy should be treated skeptically and perhaps be classified as fringe. An article in today's NY Times made me return to that concern, although not to the extent of wanting to raise it again at FTN, since I'm not suggesting categorizing anything here as fringe. The article [2] focuses on the research at Johns Hopkins University that was led by Roland Griffiths. It describes some serious criticisms of the methodology, such as conflict of interest, confirmation bias, sample bias, placebo effects, and quasi-religious aspects. The article Psychedelic therapy, while acknowledging that the evidence of effectiveness is limited and calling for more research, does not mention criticisms of bias in the research that's been done. I could raise this on the article talk-page, but i wanted to consult with you first. If you have time to read the NY Times article, I'd be interested in your thoughts on it. Thanks.
