Talk:Kairos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] The Chinese for 'crisis'
The Chinese word for “crisis” is a pictograph of the two words “danger” and “opportunity.”
Actually, according to an article by Professor Victor H. Mair, this oft-cited factoid is not true. I recommend removal of references to it. --Pharaohmobius 14:35, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- That whole paragraph seems spurious to me; the idea that kairos implies crisis, and the significance of that, needs to be better documented or removed as unencyclopedic. --ScottAlanHill 01:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Retreat
I believe this section should be disambiguated.

- The retreat is too secretive/spiritual to really talk about on Wikipedia. I know WP is not censored, but not giving away what really happens on the retreats is somewhat important, since people may not fully under stand the context of some events. However, the retreat is different from what the Article is really talking about, because most of this article examines the "term" or definition part of Kairos. perhaps there can be an extra section? -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 02:42, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- No argument besides that of personal/national security or legality issues justifies censorship of any kind. Since the Kairos retreat is neither copyrighted or legally protected nor a personal/national security issue, there is no reason why the contents of the retreat should not be published. To not publish this information is against the very premise upon which Wikipedia is built.

- Heh, Good luck finding any reliable sources. Chances are the article will likely receive a Speedy Deletion for Original Research and user Attribution. In essence, writing an article about a secretive religious retreat using speculation and rumors stands against Jimbo and Wikipedia's policies and ideologies. ;-) -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 03:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
