So Tesla was a smart guy but everything he's ever said seems to have been used by edgy "2smart4u" teens in desperate attempts to reassure themselves of their own superiority


He sounds like a dick is what I'm saying

he hated women, was an anti-semite, and was super difficult for anyone to deal with, but he played right into Edisons business savvy and got thoroughly owned as he watched his own inventions sell w/o any royalties


but he had a pretty good relationship with Mark Twain so w/e

Tesla wins tho, because he has a dedicated cult of fans who fawn over him and Edison is remembered for light bulbs and murdering an elephant just to be a douche.

well spending cash to kill trophy animals helps the wildlife people in those countries since that's a lot of their funding so if you get the money for it go hog wild

It's true if you think about it.

They could just learn to love the screams and the smell of petrol, tires and corpse mingling in a blaze, as if it were an offering of incense and blood to a god who actually listened to prayers. There's a sublime beauty in the arcs that shards of skull trace as a bullet passes through as if an eleven year-old boy's head was not there. The spiraling bullet itself is an unthinking artist, painting a masterpiece in the priceless medium of lifeblood.

One might embrace the wondrous complexity of the universe that put them in this situation, where they can witness firsthand the technological marvels of man's ingenuity and meditate on the absurd humor in the fact the millennia of wisdom
, sweat, and blood was wasted on designing a slightly better stick, so one man might kill another who has not even done him harm. As hot brass casings rain on the cooling corpses of their families, the refugees would be able to laugh heartily at the joke.

Discovering the truth that the universe is inherently meaningless and that there is no life after death would free the refugees from their fears concerning the hereafter, allowing them to truly live in this moment. They will know that when the end comes and the pain fades, all struggles and hardships will be forgotten in the eternal, silent embrace of the annihilation of the self.
