Henry Murray and Ted Kaczynski
[edit]Please acquaint yourself with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Both articles already address Kaczynski's involvement in Murray's experiments. The view that the experiments influenced Kaczynski to become a terrorist is an opinion, not a fact. In Kaczynski's own telling of his history, he was already a psychopath at the age of 13, and not specifically because of any injustice he suffered, but because he found it gratifying. 2601:642:4600:D3B0:C401:E25F:41F2:47E2 (talk) 06:05, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello, thank you for your input, I have started to familiarize myself with Wikipedias neutral point of view policy and
[edit]Hello, thank you for your input, I have started to familiarize myself with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and you're absolutely right, many of my points were basically advocating for a specific non objective point of view.
having said that I still think there is one major issue which is that while the article does address the controversy surrounding Murray's unethical experiments, this information is somewhat buried within the body of the text, specifically in a subsection under his professional career. This makes it less prominent and potentially overlooked by readers who do not delve into the entire article. Additionally, although the introduction briefly mentions the controversy, the "Legacy" section fails to reflect this significant aspect of Murray's impact. For consistency and a more balanced representation of Murray's legacy, it is important to include a mention of this controversy in the "Legacy" section. This ensures that readers have a comprehensive understanding of the lasting implications of his work.

- The "Legacy" section of the Murray article describes the influence his work had on later psychology. His stress experiments are duly acknowledged as unethical and not something that psychologists are eager to repeat. If you want to add something, please bring a published source that makes that specific assertion about his legacy. 2601:642:4600:D3B0:C401:E25F:41F2:47E2 (talk) 13:59, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
