I'm not  sure what you have in mind by "eliminativism". If you would

"eliminativism" is a  particular thesis concerning the mind. What do you take 
this

Gentlemen: 
I am really enjoying the privilege of eavedropping on your  fascinating 
discussion. If I (as a life-long eliminativist) may make a brief  comment on 
eliminativism? I would like to mention that eliminativism isn't  confined to 
the domain of specialised neurological (Philosophy of Mind)  discourse 
associated with Paul and Mary Churchland (Eliminative Materialism.)  
Eliminativism 
is also very much a psycho-linguistic subject of colloquy nowadays  and I 
see it as the main tool of resistance against the spectre which is  haunting 
philosophy - the spectre of reification - a global reification of  
interpersonal and intersocietal language which has haunted philosophy for  
millennia, 
but has now proliferated and become even more dangerous to human  
understanding and world peace in a way much more dangerous than the ghost of  
Marx's 
communism or Hitler's Nazism which haunted Europe.

Sincerely,
