 * Also, Nader is mentioned in Greg Bear's science fiction books, Eon and Eternity, as having inspired the "Naderites" who oppose much of the technology in their high-technology society. Whether Bear intends this to honor Nader or as some form of irony is not at all clear. Wastrel Way (talk) 13:44, 29 January 2024 (UTC) Eric Wastrel Way (talk) 20:19, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Professional designation
Is it fair to describe him first and foremost as a “perennial presidential candidate,” as opposed to political activist or author? It’s not a meaningful professional designation, and his presidential campaigns were clearly an offshoot of his political activism. I suggest changing the opening sentence to “Ralph Nader (/ˈneɪdər/; born February 27, 1934) is an American political activist, author, lecturer, attorney, and perennial presidential candidate noted for his involvement in consumer protection, environmentalism, and government reform causes.” The designations may also be ordered alphabetically, it that’s more neutral. 103.211.18.21 (talk) 09:46, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
