…this and it's a resonance in my twisted logic. When they tested the first atom bomb at trinity, they had equations which Fermi was very concerned that the nitrogen in the atmosphere might burn, and they were afraid that they might torch the entire planet…

…of my audiences what mushroom is it that blooms at the end of history is it the mushroom of Teller and Oppenheimer and Fermi or is it this shamanic sacrament that was the basis of the high cultures of mesoamerica? I hope that it's the latter because…

…brother has made the point asking you know what mushroom is it that grows at the end of history is it the mushroom of Fermi and Oppenheimer and Teller or is it the mushroom of Wasson and Hoffman and Humphrey Osmond, you know I think the latter is…

…as we think about these things. When the first atomic weapon was built by the Manhattan project in the desert of New Mexico, Fermi and Oppenheimer and all these people got together the night before the test at trinity and Fermi had a pad like this on…

…in the desert of New Mexico, Fermi and Oppenheimer and all these people got together the night before the test at trinity and Fermi had a pad like this on which he had scrawled some equations and he had reached the conclusion in the week before that…

…conclusion in the week before that they were not sure how high the temperature would go when they triggered this device and Fermi had some back of the envelope calculations which caused him to believe that the nitrogen in the atmosphere of the planet…

…has become a demon. That probably the moment is, you know when the first atomic pile was lit, and certainly at alamogordo, I mean Fermi was appalled. He said: you know this is a dark moment for the human race, in spite of the fact that it meant the…
