The answer can be found at the end of a railway line on the outskirts of London, in a quiet little town by the name of Bletchley. It was here, during the Second World War, that a huge game of chess was played out, the aim of which was to crack the encoded communications of the German army. In this game which changed the course of history, the key player was an eccentric homosexual, a non-conformist mathematician and keen cross-country runner with a taste for self-mockery: Alan Turing.
The unlikely trajectory of this genius, entwined despite himself with world events, will allow us to take a fresh look at a whole section of the history of the Second World War, and discover that a close link exists between the Allied victory and the invention of the computer.

It is mysteriously strange that as much as we have people of genius living among people of a high level of ignorance — that are blind to the effects each have on each other…and also mistake our own ignorance that lies in the background forgetting that we have genius working within us as well as ignorance.
Alan Turing deserved so much better and Robert Oppenheimer as well.
This should give us a collective pause as to what people or progressive ideas that are happening right now that we are undermining at this very moment.
One thing that comes to mind is the silly dichotomy of the right and the left, or the conservative and the radical, or the republican and the democrat…all styles and forms of thought have at their base a healthy spark of reason.
It is unnecessary to be at war against liberalism or conservatism and once the light of wisdom takes hold among political movements then we can learn and appreciate yin and yang ie; the law of opposites….embracing paradox and engagement with the dance of life🦋
