▶ 18:45 Marc Andreessen You know, the counterargument is just, there's a huge number of tasks that take place in the economy and in the world that don't require Einstein, you know, where, you know, where, you know, a 120 IQ person is great.

▶ 21:18 Marc Andreessen and then they all start fighting, and you've got Einstein, you know, you know, hitting, you know, Niels Bohr with nunchucks, and it, and by the way, it's happy to do that too.

▶ 53:01 Marc Andreessen And then it sort of, the movie sort of sets up, uh, both, uh, Oppenheimer and actually also specifically Albert Einstein as sort of the key moral authorities, um, of, of, of the era with respect to use of nuclear weapons.
▶ 1:01:20 Marc Andreessen Um, and then there's the, the, and then there's my most stinging indictment of the movie, uh, which is, uh, Einstein was the exact opposite of a moral exemplar. 6 times in the scene
▶ 1:03:43 Marc Andreessen This guy that slammed down that the nuke was bad, and that these people were bad, and the whole thing was bad, and that Einstein was like a, er, sorry, that both Einstein and Oppenheim were moral heroes, in some extent, kind of trying to… 4 times in the scene

▶ 1:15:51 Marc Andreessen Um, and you know, this was the American physics community in the 19 twenties and 18 thirties that basically like most of them went like hardcore communist, like Einstein, Einstein was a Stalinist.

▶ 3:34 Marc Andreessen I don't think he was never specifically known for a single piece of breakthrough work the way that, you know, the way that an Einstein was, but he was sort of respected by everybody.
▶ 10:00 Marc Andreessen Um, so the small one is the treatment of Einstein. 11 times in the scene
▶ 18:50 Marc Andreessen Uh, and unfortunately, you know, the history of this is, is that, you know, Einstein and Oppenheimer and others basically chose to ignore, uh, the information and they, and they chose, they chose to buy into a system sort of past the point… 2 times in the scene
▶ 19:04 Marc Andreessen Um, and unfortunately, Einstein, uh, is, is with Oppenheimer in that.
▶ 27:52 Marc Andreessen In a sense, it was, uh, it was correct, and in a sense, it very, it very much wasn't, and so the, the very end of the movie, um, you know, there's this kind of pivotal final kind of conversation with, uh, uh, Einstein and Oppenheimer,… 2 times in the scene
▶ 34:44 Marc Andreessen And, you know, of course, sitting here today, at least, Ben and I would say that von Neumann, like, had a clearer view of politics than, you know, than Oppenheimer or Einstein did.
