¶ Atomic Bomb
Index Entry
Atomic Bomb:
"Playboy: But don’t you think that the existence of the bomb constitutes an end game sort of circumstance for mankind?
RBF: Adam and Eve could have both picked up stones and it would have been all over.
Playboy: So the bomb only corresponds to the historical period-- there’s always been a bomb?
RBF: There’s always been a bomb, you bet. And man had a tendency to use it far more in his ignorance and awful hunger than he does today with his awareness of the consequences and his ability to get on without it."
