The last part of your statement seems angry?
The story of Turing is indeed particularly interesting for the chemical castration and run ins with law over the big government interference in his personal life. If we talk just about people who have achieved things in computing the list is huge but if we discuss people who gave sp much and had government then take so much it's a different list isn't it? But I don't see that as being a bad thing.
So yes Turing is a great representative of an aspect of history we should strive not to repeat. That's not a bad thing.

- AnotherGoodName 3y agoYeah but the point is that it's ok that we consider Turing special from all the others who also contributed because the other circumstances make the whole story more interesting.
- ffssffss 3y agoYou changed the context pretty substantially by moving it to the end of the piece and putting it in scare quotes though. I also read it as intentionally pejorative. You might want to edit the post if that's not what you meant.
