It’s the duality of man, sometimes people can do great things at the same time as doing terrible things.

We should just realise that people are good and bad and not hold people on pedestals.

I don’t give a flying fuck about the “duality of a man”. As I said, we can’t cancel the work of this POS. What we can do is letting his story die among other not so famous scientists but nonetheless more relevant even in the eyes of science. Those who deserve to be known and reminded.

My dad liked that quote “You die twice. First when your body shuts down. Second the last time someone ever pronounces your name”

So if you don’t mind, let’s kill that motherfucker once and for all.

It’s just an unrealistic expectation is alls I’m saying. The fact is, people will remember his name in 10,000 years because he is a part of history and you can’t rewrite history.

Let’s agree to disagree aye.

Idk, I think it's worth mentioning. I didn't know that about him.

Sure bring it to people’s attention, as I didn’t know either, but I was arguing that we can’t scrub the dude from history as that’s just a deluded expectation.

No need to even bring it to people's attention. The guy is known among normies for a maybe virtual cat at best and not much else. That's his contribution and importance to humanity and general audiences won't need to recall anything else. Crying to bring to attention the whole pedophile thing outside of academia (or heck, even in academia, how does it even affect the experiment?) is pretty much self-defeating in that sense.
