And he makes interesting cars, too!

Rev. Paul said...

Indeed, he was a clever man. :)

Tesla was indeed a smart man and he really contributed a lot for this country, but many times he didn't get the glory of his inventions.

Rev. Paul said...

True, Senior. Edison & his backers made sure of that.

Edison and Tesla. Two paranoids, but Edison had more clout to keep Tesla at bay.
Just think, if they and George Westinghouse had all been friends!

Certainly, we'd have had our flying cars, by now!

Guffaw, that would have been something, and our sciences might have been MUCH farther along by now.

Money and politics screw everything up.
What a world we'd live in if Edison had just "Teamed up".

Rev. Paul said...

Greybeard, that's so true ... on both counts.

Brilliant and precient except he missed the part where there was a steep rise in stupid as well: selfies, lack of ability to actually communicate, etc.

Rev. Paul said...

PH, true enough. You can't blame him for expecting people to be reasonably intelligent.
