    It’s depressing to think how advanced we might have become as a society had Hitler and the Nazis never come into power. (To say nothing of all the people who wouldn’t have been killed.)

      I wonder if we ever would have even developed nuclear weapons without the Manhattan Project and the urgency with which it operated. It certainly would have taken us a hell of a lot longer without all the “talent” we scraped up from the Nazis.
