The New York Review of Books Jefferson’s Concubine Edmund S. Morgan and Marie Morgan OCTOBER 9, 2008 ISSUE The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family by Annette Gordon-Reed Norton, 798 pp., $35.00
http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2008/10/09/jeffersons-concubine/
. . . historians and biographers . . . have struggled to illuminate, and sometimes to gloss over, the dark places in his life. Like many upright public figures who know they are pure and their enemies vile, he was capable of deviousness and treachery.
Jefferson’s private life, particularly the life he built at Monticello with the enslaved children and grandchildren of Elizabeth Hemings (1735–1807), was the focus of obsessive, often scurrilous, speculation. Jefferson observed a strict silence on this subject, an embargo that extended to his private papers, which were, moreover, culled by his white descendants to protect his secrets and to preserve his honor.
[TJ's relationship with Sally Hemings] could be called a closely held secret only in the special sense of the word prevailing within Virginia planter society.
What is important to the Hemings family’s story is the harsh and nearly inescapable nature of the “peculiar institution” in the time of Thomas Jefferson.
Every Virginian who lived in slavery or lived off of slavery had to soft-foot his or her way through a thicket of social fictions.
That cohesion [of the Hemings family in the context of bizarre relationships], unrecognized in Virginia law, might be seen as the result of the fidelity and benevolence of Martha and Thomas Jefferson.
“Between 1784 and 1794, he had either sold or given away as part of marriage settlements to his daughters and sister over one hundred people.”
He was known to detest brutality and harsh treatment of “the people,” as the workforce was called. Whatever went on under the overseers and drivers of the outlying “quarter farms,” at Monticello the rule was beneficence, especially toward the Hemingses.
It was as natural as breathing for Jefferson to prefer wheedling to whipping.
Nonetheless, coercion, however wrapped up it was, underlay the slave system.
Jefferson kept the cruelty of slavery out of sight, down the hill, but he was nothing if not self-indulgent.
Benevolence required him to identify the Hemingses’ special talents, give those talents full scope, and set them up in appropriate trades. Goodwill aside, in Gordon-Reed’s interpretation it was Jefferson’s needs and preconceptions that governed. “Once he took ownership of them, the process of shaping all the Hemingses to suit his aims only intensified.”
Like so many questions concerning the sage of Monticello, credible conjectures come up against contradictions of opinion and character.
It was not race alone that consigned these boys to the nailery. White boys of the same age could expect to work twelve-hour days setting type, driving horses, making bricks, or splitting logs.
The government and economy of Monticello was slavery, but it was conceived as an ameliorated form of slavery. It was a system intended to allow a degree of autonomy and self-respect, a freedom of movement and occupation, and other aspects of a nonenslaved existence.
Precisely because he was so civilized, Jefferson never exhibited feelings of personal guilt about owning human beings. [...] When he thought about ridding Virginia of slavery, he was more concerned about making Virginia white than about making it free.
He wanted the national government to buy all slaves, in effect confiscating them, when they would be shipped out to form a free nation of their own in Africa. At a cost he calculated at $900 million, the United States would gain security by ridding itself of the black menace that flourished within it.
. . . slavery in America, an institution from which Jefferson derived most of the benefits that made his life worth living but which he persisted in describing as a monstrous growth engrafted onto free institutions.
Slavery within Jefferson’s domains could be modified and freed of some of its constraints. It remained slavery.

TJ's religion
Although influenced by deism, Jefferson praised the morality of Jesus and asserted, "I am a Christian, in the only sense in which he wished any one to be." He edited a compilation of his biblical teachings, titled The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, that omitted miraculous or supernatural references. The work is commonly known today as the Jefferson Bible.[244] He abandoned "orthodox" Christianity after reviewing the New Testament

TJ wrt constitutions
Some men look at Constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, & deem them, like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. they ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment. I knew that age well: I belonged to it, and labored with it. it deserved well of it’s country. it was very like the present, but without the experience of the present: and 40. years of experience in government is worth a century of book-reading: and this they would say themselves, were they to rise from the dead. I am certainly not an advocate for frequent & untried changes in laws and constitutions. I think moderate imperfections had better be borne with; because when once known, we accomodate ourselves to them, and find practical means of correcting their ill effects. but I know also that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. as that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times. we might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilised society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors. it is this preposterous idea which has lately deluged Europe in blood. their monarchs, instead of wisely yielding to the gradual changes of circumstances, of favoring progressive accomodation to progressive improvement, have clung to old abuses, intrenched themselves behind steady habits, and obliged their subjects to seek, thro’ blood & violence, rash & ruinous innovations, which, had they been referred to the peaceful deliberations, & collected wisdom of the nation, would have been put into acceptable and salutary forms. let us follow no such examples, nor weakly believe that one generation is not as capable as another of taking care of itself, and of ordering it’s own affairs. let us, as our sister-states have done, avail ourselves of our reason and experience to correct the crude essays of our first and unexperienced, altho’ wise, virtuous, & well meaning councils. And lastly, let us provide in our constitution for it’s revision at stated periods. what these periods should be Nature herself indicates. --Letter to Samuel Kercheval, "Proposals to Revise the Virginia Constitution: I.

ID as pseudoscience

But the article is written from the point of view of opponents and also includes the views of disinterested p, b, and s, and of ID proponents.
- Note that "pseudoscience" in the first sentence of the article is cited to Boudry and to Pigliucci, both ardent opponents of ID.
- FAQ 6 also cites to the same proponents.
- Many citations are to Eugenie Scott, Barbara Forrest, and the NCSE, activists opposed to ID. They should definitely be included as opponents, but should not be //

Climategate
"Closing the Climategate" Nature, 468, 345 (18 November 2010) doi:10.1038/468345a Published online 17 November 2010 http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v468/n7322/full/468345a.html
"The server was in the university's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), most of the correspondents involved were climate scientists and the affair will be forever known as Climategate."
"Take the name Climategate itself. The 'gate' suffix, now routinely applied to the most mundane controversies, is as trite as it is predictable. At the height of the controversy, senior figures called for journalists not to use the word, which they argued lent false seriousness to far-fetched claims of research skulduggery and corruption. That reaction alone helps to explain the sluggish response of the science establishment a year ago to the allegations made against their colleagues and their profession. One lesson that must be taken from Climategate is that scientists do not get to define the terms by which others see them and their place in society. This journal has already warned that climate scientists have to accept that they are in a street fight. They should expect a few low blows. The key is to learn which punches to roll with and which to block and counter."
--End--
Also, Mann's The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars frankly calls it Climategate. Chapter 14 is titled "Climategate: the Real Story" and uses the term 38 times, almost always in lower case letters and without scare quotes or qualifiers like "so-called."
Adding some links
- RfC and discussion from Feb. 2010
- This has an exhaustive use of the used of the term Climategate as of Match 2010. Not many links and many may be the same syndicatd story in various newspapers.
- This is a better list of sources as of 2010.
- A 2014 discussion, with Jimbo chiming in, and a good list of sources.
- Good comment by Jimbo plus other stuff
- More Jimbo.
- Here's the whole list.
And another short break
I don't find among the responses a reason to substitute a term almost never used by anyone with the term generally used by almost everyone on both sides of the debate, excepting a few WP users.
- Dave quibbles over the word "virtually," and over whether this is the right place for the question, and says because deniers use it we shouldn't, disregarding the fact that even Mann, et al. do.
- Nigel asserts we shouldn't use it because he thinks it's an unfair name. How does his opinion trump general usage?
- Stephan (who I thanked privately for explaining what he meant by PLS) says we shouldn't link to a redirect. I'm not savvy about redirects, but from what I read to Climategate. (Not posted to Talk:Climatic Research Uniton Oct. 3, 2015.
This is interesting.

Rebuttal of personal attacks
- 2006 certificate that PhD in climatology was awarded in 1983
- Claim: "Climatology Lab and offices were on the 7th floor of the Lockhart Building. The program, started by Dr Bill Bell, collapsed after I left."
- But the Winnipeg Architectural Foundation says, "when the building opened, a special feature was the Meteorological Research Department on the seventh floor." I'm guessing it wasn't officially called a climatology lab, though Ball almost certainly studied climatology there.
- History of Geog. Dept. at U. Winnipeg shows overlaps of Ball's and Bell's tenures and says, "Lockhart Hall opened in 1970, providing the Department with new offices and well-equipped, modern teaching/research labs designed specifically for physical geography’s needs."

Article on Caroline Crocker, Richard Dawkins, and Chas. Darwin.
Jimmy Wales hoped when he started Wikipedia that the combination of enthusiastic volunteer writers with open source information technology would cause a revolution in human access to knowledge. The rate of growth of Wikipedia exceeded his wildest dreams. Within ten years it has become the biggest storehouse of information on the planet and the noisiest battleground of conflicting opinions. It illustrates Shannon’s law of reliable communication. Shannon’s law says that accurate transmission of information is possible in a communication system with a high level of noise. Even in the noisiest system, errors can be reliably corrected and accurate information transmitted, provided that the transmission is sufficiently redundant. That is, in a nutshell, how Wikipedia works.
The information flood has also brought enormous benefits to science. The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries. Wherever we go exploring in the world around us, we find mysteries. Our planet is covered by continents and oceans whose origin we cannot explain. Our atmosphere is constantly stirred by poorly understood disturbances that we call weather and climate. The visible matter in the universe is outweighed by a much larger quantity of dark invisible matter that we do not understand at all. The origin of life is a total mystery, and so is the existence of human consciousness. We have no clear idea how the electrical discharges occurring in nerve cells in our brains are connected with our feelings and desires and actions.
Even physics, the most exact and most firmly established branch of science, is still full of mysteries. We do not know how much of Shannon’s theory of information will remain valid when quantum devices replace classical electric circuits as the carriers of information. Quantum devices may be made of single atoms or microscopic magnetic circuits. All that we know for sure is that they can theoretically do certain jobs that are beyond the reach of classical devices. Quantum computing is still an unexplored mystery on the frontier of information theory. Science is the sum total of a great multitude of mysteries. It is an unending argument between a great multitude of voices. It resembles Wikipedia much more than it resembles the Encyclopaedia Britannica. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Philosopher Barbara Forrest writes that the intelligent design movement began in 1984 with the publication by Jon A. Buell's the Foundation for Thought and Ethics of The Mystery of Life's Origin by Charles B. Thaxton, a chemist and creationist. Thaxton held a conference in 1988, "Sources of Information Content in DNA," which attracted creationists such as Stephen C. Meyer. Forrest writes that, in December 1988, Thaxton decided to use the term "intelligent design," instead of creationism, for the movement.[10]

Similar reasoning postulating a divine designer is embraced today by many believers in theistic evolution, who consider modern science and the theory of evolution to be compatible with the concept of a supernatural designer. In correspondence about the question with Asa Gray, Darwin wrote that "I cannot honestly go as far as you do about Design. I am conscious that I am in an utterly hopeless muddle. I cannot think that the world, as we see it, is the result of chance; & yet I cannot look at each separate thing as the result of Design."[9] Though he had studied Paley's work while at university, by the end of his life he came to regard it as useless for scientific development.[10]

In March 1986, a review by Meyer used information theory to suggest that messages transmitted by DNA in the cell show "specified complexity" specified by intelligence, and must have originated with an intelligent agent.[12] In November of that year Thaxton described his reasoning as a more sophisticated form of Paley's argument from design.[13] At the Sources of Information Content in DNA conference in 1988 he said that his intelligent cause view was compatible with both metaphysical naturalism and supernaturalism,[14]
Intelligent design avoids identifying or naming the agent of creation—it merely states that one (or more) must exist—but leaders of the movement have said the designer is the Christian God.[n 3][n 4][15][n 5][n 6] Whether this lack of specificity about the designer's identity in public discussions is a genuine feature of the concept, or just a posture taken to avoid alienating those who would separate religion from the teaching of science, has been a matter of great debate between supporters and critics of intelligent design. The Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District court ruling held the latter to be the case.
Origin of the term
The phrase "intelligent design" can be found in an 1847 issue of Scientific American,[16] in an 1850 book by Patrick Edward Dove,[17] and in an 1861 letter from Charles Darwin.[18] The
"No physical hypothesis founded on any indisputable fact has yet explained the origin of the primordial protoplasm, and, above all, of its marvellous properties, which render evolution possible—in heredity and in adaptability, for these properties are the cause and not the effect of evolution. For the cause of this cause we have sought in vain among the physical forces which surround us, until we are at last compelled to rest upon an independent volition, a far-seeing intelligent design."[19]
The phrase can be found again in Humanism, a 1903 book by one of the founders of classical
The modern use of the words "intelligent design", as a term intended to describe a field of inquiry, began after the

- Thank you, Dicklyon, for restoring the word "exploded" to the lead. Ideally, imo, the subsection titles "Accident" should be called "Explosion,"
- If anybody wants to further investigate the issue of whether the tank rupture was considered an explosion at the time, I recommend:
- The Senate hearings on April 24, 1970. On p. 22, both Lovell and Swigert call it an explosion.
