When education community puts Nikola Tesla in the History and hold him higher then Einstein....then Ill give him credit for anything hes done. He was intelligent and he had some incredible findings, but the only reason why hes known of is because he fell in line and was used to push the establishment.
One quote I will give you that Einstein did say...
Einstein was asked how it felt to be the smartest man on Earth, Einstein replied, "I wouldn't know. Ask Nikola Tesla"
Almost everything we have today in a technological aspect is a derivative of Tesla's work....but you wont find him in any book taught in schools, even decent schools that arent deep into indoctrination. Tesla was the smartest and greatest genius of all time but was suppressed heavily, isnt recognized by the masses for all of his achievements and findings we take for granted today.
It reminds me of how America's population has devolved to a point where they no longer recognize important historical facts or care of why they are important (such as why we celebrate the 4th of July!). Idiocracy and ignorance is real time. We are only given what they decide to give and people have become so self infatuated they dont care to learn anything beyond that....leaving important figures, dates, events, and other historical data to slowly dissolve and be forgotten. If you dont believe me...
watch some of these videos, then ask yourself how far has education come in the last 100 years, what types of legislation are being passed more often. Where does it lead to in 20-30 years? "Brawndo has what plants crave" is all I hear when thinking about it.
I have hope though, there are some people that still have work ethic, have morals, independent thought, push to educate themselves, and look for meaningful ways to spend their time. Thats why I love the building community, its a hobby with invested individuals......the types of people that have these qualities. I believe people with Hobbies and a good sense of humor are some of the only "real people" in the world.
Dont mind the rant, I just felt like sharing my thoughts. I come for chitchat, builds, and good beer, but you fuckers dont seem to help pay the beer tab....
