[edit] Re-write
I am planning on doing a substantial re-write of this page due to the factual innaccuracies and the problem of its readability. For the time being my draft of the new version is at User:Sdorrance/Draft. I will be moving text around frequently, however. - Sam 05:54, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Sam, when you get around to the rewrite, maybe a passing reference to the work of Ewan Cameron and Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine. Both refer to wiping the slate clean - Cameron with individual memory and Klein with collective memory. It ties in with concept that drinking from the river Lethe as a ritual of death (something one must do before one passes on into the next world) and to the defiant nature of the avenging demon Alastor who, according to etymology is related to alethes - where unforgetting turns into unforgiving. Just enough that if the person wished for more detail that they could visit the other entries. 21:43, 15 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.77.37.48 (talk)
[edit] Reference in 'Kung Fu'
Perhaps there should be a mention of the reference to 'Aletheia' in Kung Fu. I'll write more about it, but it's not just a passing reference - one of the characters is named 'Aletheia', and truth is examined through her witness to a murder. -- Sasuke Sarutobi 00:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image of truth
The new GIF image is possibley the most famous fragmented "truth" from antiquity, P52. Able to cut and paste the missing letters from same papyrus of John 18:37, more relevant than Van Gogh's shoes in Heidegger's study. Maybe not, but the perfect artistic truth, anyway. The discussion now is whether this is copyrightable. - Athrash | Talk 03:43, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
