Talk:Radical honesty

General Discussion

Reads like an advdertisement.66.61.26.164 (talk) 00:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Besides the spelling error in your complaint, yes, it does read like an advertisement. If you can propose a better way of writing it, please go ahead. As it is, it is just fine as far as I am concerned. I would like an admin's point of view, though. Flash Man999 (talk) 06:03, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

I did several RH courses, and IMO this article does not read like an advertisement at all. When I explain RH to friends, I usually mention that it's about distiniguishing between physical sensations, feelings, and thoughts. I cannot really give any source (that is independent of Brad Blanton or the RH organization) though. --JensMueller (talk) 04:57, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

I have no connection to the people or courses involved, and I'll second that it does not seem to read like an ad to me either. Most important is the qualifier "The program asserts..." which makes it NPOV. Cutelyaware (talk) 06:34, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

The first poster is right. I'm no admin, but this definitely seems to violate the wikipedia neutrality policy.

I exercised my radical honesty by removing the fluff from the first paragraph, including mentions of Blanton though keeping one of the references. I took the approach of making it a description of what adherents do rather than being about the creator and description of his technique. For example, it's important to me that I never lie but I have zero interest in books and workshops that someone built around the idea. Hopefully others can make it even less about that stuff and perhaps it won't be deleted altogether because the idea is still important. --Cutelyaware (talk) 07:32, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Also, look at the books regarding it; they are all by the same author. It seems pretty biased.

Yeah, I'll be radically honest and say that I resent this article for being total bullshit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.166.51.143 (talk) 21:03, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Edited to make it less advertorial, more NPOV. NeilK (talk) 04:59, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Does anyone have a quote or a link for where Brad said that Starlee Kine was "crazy"? -I've got an e-mail from Brad, where he talks about her having a problem with victimizing herself-and we might can quote that... I think I'd ask first. -and I'm wondering how we could provide evidence to show the quote came from him. --Aaripper (talk) 17:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Notability, 3rd party/secondary sources

Aside from the above raised issue of being promotional, there seems to be also an issue with the sourcing and potentially notability, since almost all references go back to Blanton himself. The only real 3rd party source seems to be the Esquire article and it seems doubtful that that's good enough for justifying notability of the term.--Kmhkmh (talk) 01:58, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I'd argue that even if it otherwise would be unnotable, it has been mentioned in several prime time television shows. If obscure characters on one show get mention, this should be notable enough. O76923 (talk) 08:39, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Autism?

Why is Autism not mentioned anywhere in the article? This alone casts doubt on its veracity. 124.170.41.225 (talk) 13:58, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't get your point. Why do you think Autism needs to be mentioned? --JensMueller (talk) 04:53, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Added autism discussion SiliconProphet (talk) 23:18, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

I may get his point. Autism is reputed to correlate with few social graces. Being honest and thus hurtful is one such characteristic, they say. Zezen (talk) 08:42, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

A radically honest revision to this page

This page was pretty much an advertisement in revision https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Radical_honesty&oldid=1021025979 and I have been working on fixing it. It still needs a lot of work but I believe the concept is notable, albeit due to philosophers who have discussed it rather than due to Blanton SiliconProphet (talk) 22:55, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
