    Tesla. I feel there’s so much we don’t know, let alone understand, about his ideas. Have we overly sane/crazy washed him?

      Apparently he didn’t trust patents etc. He would come up with fanciful ideas, that sounded vaguely plausible, as cover for what he was actually working on.

      At this point picking apart the Good, the bad and the cover is an …interesting exercise.

        Look what Edison did. I don’t blame him for not trusting how the business world works.

        i feel like the covers have ended up like star trek tech, made up nonsense but it gave people ideas that turned out to be good
