What moral philosophy? I saw only rationalization in the article that failed to articulate the difference.
"Burdick warned, their very lack of interest in contemplating the possible consequences of their work stood as a terrible danger. Indeed, they might “radically reconstruct the American political system, build a new politics, and even modify revered and venerable American institutions — facts of which they are blissfully innocent”.
That description could apply equally to any activist advocating for change. It is vacuous in that sense as it applies to civil rights activists, monarchists, utopian reformers seeking technocracy, communism, or some other bizzare system.
Plus calling people war criminals just for doing math? What is anti-intellectualism if not damning people for trying to understand complex systems because they might use it for evil?
