@Full_marx I think those are an excellent plan!

@thegibson Obfuscation and making noise seems to be the method, at least from the White House.

Fox assists.

@Full_marx I can relate to that, having put in Full time wwork hours into it this past week.

But it's green great fun, entertaining, educational and so far none of the conflicts I always was worried about in twitter.

Posted more here in one week, this one, than in the birdsite account for the years I have had the account there.

As long as we stay out of conflict, I think your time is well spent.

@Warhorse
He was an intellectual, very intelligent and curious man, a great scientist.

He was also a good administrator, leading the Manhattan Project thru the WWII years.

He had regrets on seeing the destrucitve use of their work and research, and started speaking his mind, ended up being investigated as a Communist and I think lost his security clearance.

The next stages of weapons development, the Fusion or Hydrogen bombs, were pushed ahead by other scientists with less qualms about their destructive power, like Leo Szillard.

@Warhorse Thank you, Warhorse. I like to read and learning never ends.

@salad_bar_breath @Warhorse I am also a great fan of Robert Oppenheimer.

Nothwitstanding his work and leadership in the atomic weapons research programme, which eneded up criminally wiping out two Japanese cities, he comprehended the result and quoted a very proper Hindu text on seeing the first test, Trinity.

"I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."

In more detail:

"“We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, ‘Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I suppose we all thought that, one way or another,” said Oppenheimer when recalling the Trinity test of the Manhattan Project."

@Warhorse Very possibly - there was a succesful film a couple of years ago or so about Bletchley Park, was a nice one.
