Apocalyptic Blindness and the Atomic Bomb

Apocalyptic Blindness and the Atomic Bomb - Teknovatoren: "In this sense, we are inverted utopists, to use Anders’ terminology: while regular utopists are unable to produce what they imagine, we, on the other hand, are unable to imagine what we have produced. When confronted with things we cannot classify, we deal with them as if they didn’t exist at all. The real menace, then, lies not in the bomb itself, but rather in our apocalyptic blindness towards it."
