Witten's daughter is trying to get an award named after the great statistician Ronald Fisher renamed/removed because he held some strong views on race. I don't think Witten should be /ourguy/ any longer.

Where does this sort of thing end? I wonder how much of SJW activism can be explained by its practitioners being failures in academia/arts/whatever, and on some level realizing they lack what it takes to make a meaningful contribution, so they resort to political advocacy in order to satisfy their need for status and attention.
