Indeed, the bomb reduces/seduces every thing to its elementary
particularisation which is indeed a mapping of democratic theorising (an
analytic reduction of every thing to the most common ground of commonness;
in these days and daze of materialisms this boils down to so-called
elementary and elimative particles, whatever-ons and force fields and the
like). Modern empiricist science and common (i.e., democratic) s(ci)ence are
the same and both are and dependent (by them selves) upon the very denial of
philosophy (ontology). And this very denial of philosophy depends for its
own be-ing upon a certain philosophy (the sameness of thinking and be-ing)
without which it cannot even *be* a denial.

The bomb is the most empirical sign of the need for the de-struction of the
very materialism the bomb was born(e) of/from.

It doesn’t matter a shit who developed it first…
