It's No Wonder Oppenheimer Died Early

From a brilliant boy to a gaunt, chain-smoking shadow drowning in alcohol and remorse, J. Robert Oppenheimer lived his final years with full knowledge of what he'd become: the arbiter of unimaginable destruction.

It’s amazing to me, an old retired scientist (octogenarian), how some of our greatest minds never realized how important Hiptocrates greatest discovery was:”Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food”. Personally, I only began to FULLY appreciate it in my late 70s when one of my son’s said to my 320 pounds a$$ while I was exercising, “You can’t out exercise poor nutrition!”. I now weigh 195 lbs at 6’2” look like I’m 60yo and feel like I’m 40yo and eat a plant based diet fasting 18 hours between my last meal and my first meal.

i was shocked when i found out he died 'naturally'. if i had created something that was then used for mass death and destruction, i would have ended my own life. how did he find the strength to keep going another 22 years?

[@codieomeallain6635]

⁠@@corpsefoot758 The attack on Pearl Harbour was launched in order to destroy the American fleet with minimal risk. Japan did not have access to the same resources as the U.S. and every loss was felt keenly for it. This resource dearth was also why Japan went for quality as much as possible; hence the Yamato and Musashi, battleships capable of engaging two to three enemy battleships on their own. The Japanese admiralty saw in the surprise attack a chance to render the U.S. impotent in the Pacific while they took the territories, and thus resources, they needed to fulfil their destiny of uniting East Asia under their dominion. They hoped that having been dealt a decisive blow and with the isolationist public seeing no benefit to defending European imperialism the U.S. would simply make peace and lift their embargo of key resources such as oil which they needed desperately. Unfortunately for them their ambassador took longer than expected to decode the message which declared a state of war with the U.S. and the attack on Pearl Harbour took place some hours before the official declaration though it was intended to be received just prior. The U.S. could not back down after being the victims of what they perceived to be a deliberate attack without a declaration, and the formerly apathetic public was baying for blood.

He felt so much guilt he literally poisoned himself til he gave himself cancer. Im sure he wished for death more times than anyone can count. That's probably why when he found out he was dying he felt peace. Finally, he could escape his nightmare of a life that unfortunately he helped create. Just the idea of peace after such great suffering can make you do crazy things to achieve it.
