A realpolitik lesson for the scientists of the future: next time you have the power, hold it, don't squander it on politicians, begging for crumbs, grants and the decency of a private life. Oppenheimer should have continued his quote "now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds" with "bow to me mortals, cause it is I that controls the machine" not "here you go Mr. Truman, go nuts with the bombs". Also, Turing can never be overrated, beyond being the one who pulled us into a new metaphysics of computability (alongside Alonzo Church and others, sure), he will also be the one to bring the 22nd century into a new metaphysics of morphogenetic freedom [1] [2] [3]. Not sure about Flowers, but Turing knew there were realms of computationality way beyond their present tubes and levers. [1] 1952, Alan M.
