Interesting life, on good sources, offline source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - Can we say in the hook something about him, instead of something that happened to him, even if it caused uproar? A theorem named after him, interest in early scientific education, the title of his thesis, discussing Hindu philosophy with Oppenheimer, a "genius grant", - all this would interest me more. - Article: I don't think we need his name as author of his works. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:10, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that philosopher David Hawkins wrote his doctoral thesis on "a causal interpretation of probability" Source: [2]
- ALT2: ... that David Hawkins discussed Hindu philosophy with Robert Oppenheimer? Source: [3]
- ALT3: ... that philosopher David Hawkins and his wife Frances founded the Mountain View Center for Environmental Education? Source: [4]
- I didn't think people would be interested in his thesis, or his educational work, and I'm far from certain that most people have heard of Robert Oppenheimer, although he is the Manhattan Project scientist with the most page views (followed by Feynman, von Neumann, Bohr and Fermi).
