We should find better luminaries. I'm all for redemption and I hope Stallman comes around and apologizes, but Minsky went to the grave with whatever happened.

Instead of downvoting me without a stated reason, can you provide a refutation? I'm open to changing my mind, but this is where it stands right now. I think we need to choose those we hold in esteem.
