The fact that I can sit in the garden and listen to the lecture by a historic figure, speaking to the mic 60 years ago, all immediate and completely free, is mind blowing to me. No pun intended. Also, his style of speech is truly poetic, also a mark of high intelligence.
Ive never heard so many people cough over a short period of time. Oppenheimer definitely rubbed a few wrong. He fought for an open world. A true genius and hero of his time who was suppressed and battered.
This lecture was delivered at the height of the Cold War but it’s implications are timeless. Science in its purest form is amoral. Great discoveries have an equal potential for good and harm. As we witness the dawning of the age of AI, one hopes that our culture and traditions are not lost entirely. We will surely need them more than ever to help us control the ever greater power of our science and technology.
Like the other comment said, culture equally has the potential for bad. Technology has only been causing harm for the past few centuries, but culture and tradition have caused war and destruction since the dawn of civilization.
It’s crazy to think about the timing of Oppenheimer’s birth (and Einstein’s). The prime years of his life were spent developing the Atomic Bomb to be used in attempt to end (currently) the deadliest war in human history
One of the 5 most geniuses human beings of this planet. What a speach ? Not a single scientist from the past present or future had or will have his insight about life nature and science. It's a shame how the US government treated him in his later years. Great man indeed. There will never come another Oppenheimer, ever.
36:33 I enjoy watching his speeches… In terms of world harmony through the collaboration of science he states, “If biologists or astronomers or physicist can work together so effectively across national boundaries and countries with different cultures and different politics and different religions; even countries with great hostility. Is this not a way to bring the world together? It certainly is one of the few things we know how to do. We are doing a light of, it we should certainly do all of it we can to promote international collaboration of the most intimate and direct kind, but is a very fragile and limited way to bring the world together.” - …… A part of me wishes this could be the case, but I am lead to believe that such a reality requires men to have a common understanding to having in possession of such a great power. To wield it without obstruction from outside entities who would wish to do harm. Think in terms of nuclear technologies which offer many benefits but also possess capabilities that are 4,000 times power of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. My belief is that the nature of man is set on the an in balance that has been greatly sped up by globalization. Through the intermingling of international affairs in the name of various causes both morale and not. The focus isn’t on morale ambition of nations, but rather that the scientific community should strive to create technologies and find secrets in physics and chemistry which would progress mankind towards a more sustainable future.
This demonstrates what his former students in his classes stated about him. His Science students would have to work in pairs to try to understand him and then get together to rewrite their notes because he was so difficult to listen to. This proves it. You actually need to have a summary of what he is talking about. He had a brilliant mind but he did not want to "meet anyone at their level" only his. This reminds me of why I hated my University of MN education.
If I remember correctly, in the American Experience documentary about his trials, this description was used for the period before he became charismatic and effective lecturer. However, I agree that it is almost impossible to follow his speech unless I listen to these lectures several times. His way of thinking seems just completely different to how I think and simultaneously fascinating.
I find this talk to be quite clear but it does require effort on the part of the audience. I, for one, prefer this style rather than the spoonfeeding style that wastes a lot of time.
This is not for the TikTok generation, or the smartphone generation whose attention span is diminishing. He is offering the big picture, the context of which we are a part. I think there’s a transcript attached here where one can follow along. I like his soothing voice. He sounds like a deeply knowledgeable human filled with wisdom. Kind of like a Gandalf maybe. I’d have to listen to this again too.
He was a so-called European Jew and you can just imagine since you European Christian whites gave them a Homeland called Israel what they have is stored for you Christians y'all would suffer the same faith that yeah gave Native Americans Indians as well as African people in abroad across the world your great great great grand kids will suffered 10 times over when they are done with you I'm talking about the so cold European Jewish people/Jews when they are done with you!
He wasn't referring to civilization. He was referring to what eventually became became the scientific method stemming from the great philosopher and scientist Sir Francis Bacon's work, Novum Organum, 'directions of Nature
Julius R. Oppenheimer was a poster boy of the nuclear program of the United States jump-started in about 1942. A car with a dead battery can be jump started with the good battery of another car with a jumper cable. The American atom bomb program was jump started in about 1942 when two academic scientists originally from a country somewhat near Denmark showed up at the white House armed with about 50 papers of the Soviet atom bomb. The Soviet atom bomb facility was functional between 1936 and 1942, and designed it's irst atom bomb between 1937 and 1942. Within the first year of 1936 itself, all that the dissident scientists working at the secret atom bomb design facility of the Soviet Union did was to attend presentations and brain storming sessions on how to harness nuclear energy to make a bomb. The nuclear scientists knew each other before ww2 more as respectable experts and not as buddies: Few of these nuclear scientists of the USSR and academic nuclear scientists of small countries near Denmark from conventions and college visits between ww1 and ww2. After the start of ww2, all nuclear academicians of USSR as well as of small countries of Europe, they all stopped writing letters to each other. The Soviet atom bomb was designed by a Soviet team led by Egor Kurchatov between 1936 and 1942. During a visit to the White House in about 1942, Julius Robert Oppenheimer said he needed 3 months notice in early 1942 approximately, in order to quit his job and to enlist himself in the re-design and re-manufacture of the Soviet atom bomb designed by the Soviet team of dissident nuclear scientists within the Soviet Union. President Roosevelt asked the two academic scientists in about 1942 why there so many papers on nuclear air blast calculations in the smuggled papers on the Soviet atom bomb. the bundle had about 50 pages approximately. The two academic scientists rightly guessed that these air blast calculations were a delaying tactics by the dissident scientists of the Soviet Union to delay the manufacture of he Soviet atom bomb. which made up to 70 percent of the papers handed over to the white House. President Roosevelt made it very clear that he wants an American with a German last name to be the poster boy of the nuclear program of the US. Kurchatov himself was a dissident scientist. He looked more like a beach boy surfing a surf board as a young man. Egor as a young man also looked like a slim fraternity boy in any college in the US. Average fraternity used to be fat. About a decade or two ago, college fraternities in the US made it a requirement that all new fraternity members be slim or muscular and not fat any more. Later, he also started looking like a mad scientist as he aged. Oppenheimer was hesitant to join the nuclear program, as he someone told him as a child that he had a German last name. * In 1942, two theoretical physics from a country hear Holland or Denmark showed up at the White House with detailed blueprints of the Soviet atom bomb along with air blast calculations. President Roosevelt was suddenly highly interested. Two academic scientists from Holland or some other small country near Holland or Denmark visited the White House along with blueprints of the Soviet atom bomb, and offered to become project managers of the American nuclear program. President Roosevelt told Oppenheimer that he needed an American with a German last name as the project manager. Why, If the President finds out that Hitler may use the atom bomb against the US, then President Roosevelt may be obliged to order the use of atom bombs against Berlin. So President Roosevelt wanted a scientist with a German last name to lead the American nuclear program. Einstein had also talked about the dangers of nuclear energy in public. No politician or lawmaker in the US listened to the nerdy scientist named Einstein who looked like a mad scientist. The President listened to the two visiting academic scientists from Central European country who came to the White House with a bundle of papers and blueprints of the Soviet atom bomb and air blast calculations of the Soviet nuclear weapons program in 1942.
what is interesting is that there are individuals who have yet to draw their first breath that will ensure no other human breates again. His ancestors are clocking in and out of their job. They are children sleeping and they are dreamers dreaming.
_certified 6th density Wanderer_ _(recalling Plato's allegory of the cave, here is one who had reached the SUN *(Aten)*, but out of love, returned to rescue those still chained, staring at flickering shadows on a wall, mistaking it for reality.

Are you a Wanderer?._ _everything I have said is completely true. See the Ra Material._
There are many things men and women *can* do, but *should* they?? Two very different questions with *entirely different outcomes*. Listening to him speak you get the sense that he was lost on matters of right and wrong. He lost his way.
The certitudes of moralistic thinking are not easily defined and are often times subjective. At the end of the day, there are those in society that lead in society and those who try to set it back through war and aggression. Life and what we should do with it is not completely definable.
I don't know whether a transcript exist on the Internet. Many of these audio files only seem to exist on websites for archives of different universities.

I bet Oppenheimer as a professor would give cumulative finals from what ever you learned from the beginning of the semester to the end of the semeter ontop of a 60 page single spaced research paper of the topic of your choosing
it’s called long winded, intellectual guilt. You know who is today’s Oppenheimer? The scientist behind AI that will eventually replace 40 million jobs in the coming years.
Scientist who knew Bhagavad-Gita in Sanskrit by heart at an young age of twenty nine. Extracted atom bomb knowledge from Bhagavad-Gita and carried out first successful atomic explosion on 16 July 1945. He always used to keep one copy of Bhagavad-Gita on his table and used to gift one who used to visit him
He had read the Bhagavad Gita but it is not correct to say he extracted anything about the atom bomb from that book. Those are based on advances in science achieved in his time

He used to give these lectures unscripted (not sure about this particular one), spoken in full grammatical sentences. Just incredible.
even if it is scripted. it's still hard to maintain lectures in full grammatical sentences.
People back in the day read books.. this what happens when u do so for an extended period of time.
The fact that I can sit in the garden and listen to the lecture by a historic figure, speaking to the mic 60 years ago, all immediate and completely free, is mind blowing to me.
No pun intended.
Also, his style of speech is truly poetic, also a mark of high intelligence.
this video will explode after the Nolan Movie (19.12.2022)
Probably already on the way up. Oppenheimer was fucking based. I cannot wait for a new generation of progressive thinkers to be introduced to him.
Unfortunate choice of words.

There is a very likely chance that Christopher Nolan has also watched this youtube video.
Ive never heard so many people cough over a short period of time. Oppenheimer definitely rubbed a few wrong. He fought for an open world. A true genius and hero of his time who was suppressed and battered.
They were coughing because they were bored.
Maybe coughing ones had to inhale so much cigarette smoke.

sorry to burst anybody's bubble, but oppenheimer was a mass murderer, not a hero. The massacre he enabled can never be forgiven.
Blah
Oppenheimer was a strong scientist but a terrible writer, and he was no Bertrand Russell, no historian or philosopher, but clearly his speeches show he thought of himself as one, as if that could obscure what he did in life which was plainly not to act as an independent thinker. He was a herd animal pretending to be more. He followed the herd of military leaders who eagerly dropped 2 atomic bombs on citizens in August 1945. He admitted it was not demonstrably or absolutely necessary but he would not join the Franck protest. Here in 1961 @7 mins he argues that nuclear weapons can not be avoided. Rather self serving.
He hated himself from a young age. A tortured soul.
Well it gave us a head start on how we should react to such weapons, and it looks like deterrence has worked so far.
Sounds like a speech badly translated from another language.
Not really.
