Oppenheimer is not to be blamed for giving birth to atomic bomb, even without Oppenheimer, there would be another Christopher, without atomic bomb, there would be btomic bomb. Weapons don’t kill men, men kill men, no matter with weapons or by fists. How weapons are used is what really matters.

War is a terror. How can’t a war won by annihilation to be another terror. Countries, governments, systems, politics or whatever ism things are for these “great” people while have nothing to do with the ordinary. The “great” bring about changes, the ordinary have no choice but to be determined, sad though it is. No pity for Japan at then, pity for the innocent Japanese deads.

Oppenheimer is indeed a martyr, not for the dead, but the advancing world. The bombing had nearly 0 odds to destroy the world, while it adds odds to accelerate the destroying of the world. But that’s how world works, the specific individuals are at the same time both responsible and irresponsible. They are responsible for bringing about the changes, they are irresponsible as there should be someone to do so.

Prometheus differs from Oppenheimer in that the former is an idealist whereas the latter is not. Gald to suffer sisyphean tortures, Prometheus steals fire for the whole human-being without understanding the by-consequences. Realized the byproducts, Oppenheimer walked on the same path though he didn’t mean to.

Beware, the world is watching.
