Alan Turing
1912–1954 · Father of Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence
He cracked the Enigma code, shortened a world war, and saved millions of lives. Then the country he saved chemically castrated him for loving the wrong person. He didn't hide. He didn't recant. He chose truth, about his work, about himself, when the cost was everything. A Grithosian tells the truth even when the truth destroys him. Turing paid the ultimate price and never flinched.
