Watching #ToEndAllWar: #OppenheimerAndTheAtomicBomb has left me with the aching void in my heart I get from profound sadness borne of #existential #dread.

I don't feel our end is imminent, on a #human timescale, or that it will definitely be caused by #nuclear #war or #disaster, but I do feel we're on track for that at a speed which the overwhelmingly majority aren't recognizing, or are willfully ignoring.

We always ultimately choose the more destructive path, rather than the most cooperative.

I'm watching #ToEndAllWar: #OppenheimerAndTheAtomicBomb, an #NBCUniversal #ad on #MSNBC for #Universal #studio's #movie, #Oppenheimer, directed by #ChristopherNolan, and they just showed images I've seen versions of many times before of the first #atomic blast and, in this time in our #history, they moved me in a way I haven't felt in decades.

Like Oppenheimer's famous quote, a similar, infinitely simpler, less profound, thought came to my mind: This is how we die.

It's visceral, and lingers.
