The Manhattan Project, being a project with no end game but genocide, really shouldn't fucking be considered science; not unless you're gonna crack out and try and tell me that indiscriminate, horrific mass murder deserves to be acknowledged in the same breath as mathematics and medicine.

But science doesn't care about morality. Maybe you're thinking about religion?

It's fair to say that the Manhattan Project wasn't a "science first" project, but to deny that science was happening is...misguided, let's say.

"First do no harm" is an axiom of medicine that more of you STEMlords should probably internalize, so maybe stow the condescension. I categorically refuse to accept a tool of mass genocide being counted next to that which would save lives and objectively measure our reality.
