> Oppenheimer was in no way connected to the "value" generated by his invention.
Oppenheimer didn’t just participate in nuclear bomb project. He has made contributions in nuclear physics has advanced nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
you misunderstood the parent post - "connected" is meant to be understood as "privately capture", rather than participation.
Oppenheimer's value generation is not captured by him, but by the taxpayers (and whoever is the funder of his endeavours).
