Truth in Consciousness: Neuroscience and Philosophy
I have added a small contribution regarding a set of laboratory experiments that were essential in providing evidence for the lateralization of brain function, as you had mentioned this in the introductory paragraph. I also agree with the idea that monism, regarding to the way neuroscience defines consciousness, is a reductionist approach to the truth and that an interdisciplinary approach of both neuroscience and philosophy can help us better understand the consciousness as a whole.

 * This is a very useful and detailed account of split-brain experiments showing how perception and interpretation is affected by the alteration of brain structure. I've turned this into a sub-sub-section as it is still under neuroscience and monism, I also added a sentence at the end of your contribution to link what you have said back to theories on consciousness.

 * I have added my initial contribution of split-brain studies in your contribution section, and instead added a small conclusion sentence at the end, as I feel this is better structurally to have both the experiments under this section.

I fully agree with that structural change, thank you for taking the time to make it. MM.Mar 08 (discuss • contribs) 14:30, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Truth in Social Anthropology and Biology: Constructivism versus Positivism
I added a sub-section on Biological Anthropology as an example of how these two disciplines are integrated, in the context of race, and the issues which have been encountered as a result of the different approaches of constructivism in social anthropology and positivism in biology as you described previously.

Thank you for your contribution. I fully agree with all the points you outlined in this paragraph as this extra piece of information helps outline the need for interdisciplinarity in these fields. MM.Mar 08 (discuss • contribs) 13:13, 04 November 2020 (UTC)

Truth in beauty: Beauty from different approaches
I added a sub-section on beauty from a social constructivist perspective, using examples of historical and cross-cultural cases to demonstrate the ideas that this view is based upon. I thought that it would be useful to see how beauty is approached differently by social constructivists compared to positivists. Alpacamaka (discuss • contribs) 22:12, 06 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your contribution. I tried to look for information about beauty from a constructivist point of view and I couldn't find anything, so this has been of great help. I am also working on beauty from a perspectivist point of view, so if anyone has any ideas or contributions feel free to add them to the sandbox.

Truth in Intelligence
I have taken the liberty to edit some of the sentences in this contribution, to improve structure and therefore understanding. I also changed the layout a tiny bit, as there were gaps between sentences that seemed to impact the flow of your argument and looked a bit out of place. Overall I think this is a really interesting subject to discuss, therefore I hope my contributions helped clarify your points a bit. I would however suggest having another look over the text, as there are still some sentences that I struggled understanding and I did not want to change the meaning - so I left them as they were.

Truth in Videography: the Future of Fake News
I added a small paragraph regarding the Interdisciplinarity of this issue. I believe the paragraphs you wrote were extremely insightful as they offered an explanation of a current world issue that is sometimes not talked about enough. In order to emphasise the point of the impact this issue has, I added some examples of ways in which disciplines may need to change to adapt to this new technology.
