science the weapon

Non-Western science production ideas-- how do we NOT design weapons?

I've been thinking about how to fight bombs and the first thought I have is force fields but like for real. Bombings are neutralized because your shit is protected. So is there anything in nature that actually does this? I think Western science would enjoy a nice dome Hunger Games style aka mechanical but I'm deeply curious to know if there's insect behavior or interactions between bacteria or weather patterns that can serve as templates for how to neutralize a bomb. There's so much we haven't laterally investigated and it's a shame to miss out on those opportunities. It's a shame things have gotten so specialized as they are without cultivation of the other side. My second thought is to create something that will let us survive a nuclear war if it happens except as soon as we have it, we'd nuke the world. That gets me thinking about us though, because who is that? I don't think this type of research could happen anywhere but the West because of its dominance in the scientific world (aka money, space, resources, education) but any research of the West is bound to produce a weapon before an instrument of healing.

One of the most dangerous weapons we have is science. Sometimes I think it’s the most dangerous. War is alive and war wants weapons. War and strife has been around for centuries, it’s what this very country is founded on: mass murder, genocide, indescribable torture and pain. And the weaponization of science, technology, and intellectual advancement has always been present. Our society controls science and the results of its most scientific enterprises-- products of mass humanity-- were biological and chemical and nuclear warfare. Our world has willingly created, sometimes fervently devoted itself to causing the most destruction and the most damage. Even the research done to make weapons can be a weapon itself. I used to think I was the only one, but I believe more people see this now: the world has been at war for at least a hundred years. I say one hundred because World War I and developments in weapons of mass destruction began. What human beings did to each other... What we do now is the same. We have different weapons that do different things and we're fighting in different places in different times but the violence is the same. Humanity is being hurt. Humanity is hurting itself because a part of it thinks it needs to survive at the expense of the whole, even though it needs the whole to exist. I know that our science is more advanced but what does advanced really mean? Now, we hurt more of humanity than before. We hurt more of the world than before. With every action, voluntary or involuntary, humanity hurts itself. Human beings hurt each other. That's what I see when I look at science, what I've seen these past few years stumbling my way through a science education at Columbia. ​I don't believe that's a world we have to live in.
