Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

      Maybe it's time for us to ask: should we take down all the statues? Are they doing us any good?

      Let's face it: the past was a terrible, awful, immoral place. Maybe we should only have statues in honor of the future.

          I suggest statues to commemorate mistakes so we can remember them. Some people are condemned to have a statue, torn down after sentence.
