(OT) The giant steps down before the crash

[arachnid]

I am a super fan fan of tesla.. I have studied his life and his work,
and in my opinion he is the greatest genius that ever lived.

No, the greatest genius of all time was the guy who made a mint selling
pet rocks.

I am learning how to overcome such problems...
education CAN teach you how to do things better....
and there are ways to do it... I can assure you..

Tesla made some mistakes because he didnt know some things.
He was a genious in some things, but he was not a people person,
nor a buisnessman. He could of then, be one of the riches men in the world,
so he would be independant, and not relay on idiots like J.P. Morgan to
invest.

Therein lies a personal solution - being financially independent and
sod the rest of the world. Sadly, dismissing all the dorks out of
one's life does make it rather lonely!

LOL!! The header is funny. Read it as describing the length of a step
rather than as referring to a person! LOL!

what do you need free energy for?

We have free energy - it's called sunlight, gravity, wind, etc., etc.

But no one is going to pay for the delivery infrastructure if they
can't charge for it. That wouldn't be free - that would be getting it
by having someone else pay for it.

Now if Tesla had invented some way to generate and deliver it at no
cost to anyone ...

But that's not what he invented.

What you're talking about is "*I* don't have to pay for it" energy,
not free energy. You can have it right now if you can find someone
stupid enough to generate and supply it without passing the cost on to
you.

I know what you're saying. A major problem for anybody who can see
beyond the trees is that they're always ridiculed and dismissed as mad
or obsessive or whatever. Few people appreciate their abilities and
they often have to walk through life at other peoples' pace. FWIW
this is a problem I've encountered in my own life - although not on
technology matters! I'm afraid that in this age - dorks rool!

The fact that some who were ridiculed ended up correct doesn't mean
that being ridiculed means that you're correct.

Tesla COULD NOT have invented free energy unless it took not one
single moment of human effort to create and distribute it. As soon as
someone had to do something that someone had to be paid, and there
goes "free".

The old "there must be a way"? Why must there be?

Tesla made some mistakes because he didnt know some things.
He was a genious in some things, but he was not a people person,
nor a buisnessman. He could of then, be one of the riches men in the world,
so he would be independant, and not relay on idiots like J.P. Morgan to
invest.

"Invest" Money? I thought you said he invented *FREE* energy? Why
would he have needed money if it was free?

 

[Al Klein]

No, the greatest genius of all time was the guy who made a mint selling
pet rocks.

Or the one who sold dogless leashes? Mood rings?

that being ridiculed means that you're correct.

Indeed ...and the only way to prove foresight in this situation is
over time, as one's predictions/views/foresight/expectations are
progressively proven to be accurate and the consequences materialise.
That old hackeyed phrase "I told you so" comes to mind.

Tesla COULD NOT have invented free energy unless it took not one
single moment of human effort to create and distribute it. As soon as
someone had to do something that someone had to be paid, and there
goes "free".

I think that's an extreme interpretation of the definition.

Yeah, like Africans. Being stupid enough to deliver aircond-indulged
with radioactive stuff, intentionally or not :-(
