Are you suggesting the two individuals you mentioned are the originators of that line of thought? Why is it important to you that these two individuals are name dropped?
- armitron 10y agoPlagiarism is not something I find easy to accept thus I do my best to counter it whenever I encounter it. Besides, mentioning the originators of certain ideas and models and guiding people to their work is surely adding a lot of substance to the discussion.
- ZenoArrow 10y agoOnly if they were the sources of inspiration. What I'm trying to suggest to you is that similar ideas to those put forward by Leary and Wilson existed before either of those two individuals were born. With that in mind, why are you convinced these two individuals are being plagarised? Can you point to any passages that reminded you of their works?
