This would be a campaign to 3d print weatherproof, classical-style statues of a diverse spectrum of not-so-famous people and place them strategically around cities for instance Washington, D.C. where there are a lot of centrally placed statues to usually old white military-style men.

So if there is a 3x life-size statue of Grorge Washington on a horse at the center of a traffic circle with a lot of bushes in it, then you could place a 2x statue of Aloysius Washington, George's 2nd cousin once removed, in the bushes around the circle, and maybe set back about 15 feet into a copse of trees outside the circle you could place a statue of Moses the Gardner at the estate of Aloysius, and then halfway down the block next to a police call box you could have a statue of Emma Auchengurtis who worked at the Aloysius estate for a few months when she arrived to DC from Texas but then lost the job and ended up becoming an acountant, etc.

They already sort-of do things like this, but out of stone, in cemeteries.

Almost as silly and useless as the memorials we already have.

One for Steve P. Christ? who, to be fair to the Romans came to admit that he had a good crucifying coming...

There is a literary pendant to this idea: Giuseppe Pontiggia, Vite di uomini non illustri

A memorial to Tony Blair would be delightful.

//in his time far better known to the cultural public than Albert.// Really? In his heyday, Albert Einstein was an international celebrity, and his findings (and experimental confirmation of some of his predictions) were front-page stories on most of the world's press.
-- MaxwellBuchanan, Apr 09 2015


Yes, but what's he done recently, eh ?

//and experimental confirmation of some of his predictions//

That's an inappropriately flippant way of talking about the er.... rapid end to the war in the Pacific.

I was thinking more about the deflection of starlight observed during the 1919 eclipse. But some of his later ideas did indeed attract considerable attention.
