Story When I heard Oppenheimer’s famous quote as a kid

When I was like 8 years old and didn’t have any knowledge of what that quote means in the Bhagavad Gita or about WW2 and I just saw that video of him saying “Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds” without context my impression was that he was simply an evilmaxxed mad scientist who created a weapon of mass destruction for similar reasons to incels going ER
