Thank you. The Oppenheimer interview is deeply disturbing in that that an amazing human, a deeply thoughtful human, in the moments of crisis, shows his naked doubt. I get from it that he felt he had no choice (Colonel Stimson said) and thus applied his (and all the others like Feynman) genius through a power-relation to mass destruction based on a human trade off island hopping v WMD. But by this stage the War in Europe was concluded, the Japanese were likely economically exhausted. As he said it is a decision no scientist would have ever expected to participate in. And isn't that plausibly the same as all the super talented IT dev's and engineering figuring out super inventive ways for saturation advertising and warping what is real and moral, from the FB's OF's, Insta, Temu and other global platforms that see to subjugate human experience in favour of economic gain at the imperative of the CEO's and the market is a strong plausible hypothesis worth reflecting on.
