Excellent Letum.
I've followed this thread for a couple of days now and was thinking about mentioning Turing myself.
How would his life have turned out in a society different to the one of the time?
A society that doesn't punish or discriminate against someone because of the way they are.
Would he have taken his life?
What other contributions might a mind like his made to the world?
Shameful that someone who directly shortened WWII should be treated like a criminal. |
Well said
