There are no saints on this earth. All of us have done or said things we are not proud of and most of our deeds will seem monstrous to the sufficiently distant generations. Newton, for example, was apparently quite a horrible person even by the standards of his time. So now what? There does not seem to be a way to celebrate anybody for any length of time, does there? This view of not celebrating humans in art for their inherent sinfulness is actually very well known in history. The reason for islams intricate ornaments in buildings is the ban on depicting humans. The christian church has also been split on the matter. Could we be a wee bit more civilized in the 21st century and celebrate the whole person, warts and all? A human? “The man greatly contributed to the field of statistics but was also involved in eugenics” both should be known, researched, debated and understood. For neither would have been possible without the other.
