I mean that’s been a “thing” since at least the late 80s. Not that i think its accurate but its all too common an opinion you will find that isnt completely batshit crazy.

- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 2 weeks ago:
I dont believe i am spreading misinformation
Marconi became rich and famous, the “inventor of the radio.” It didn’t matter that he had been using Tesla’s technology. After Tesla’s death, the Supreme Court would even rule that Tesla had a better claim to the patents — but it was too late.
His loss in the race for the radio would send Nikola Tesla on a long downward spiral from which he would never recover. Combined with his other failures and his struggles with what we would probably identify today as obsessive-compulsive disorder, Tesla descended into a tailspin at the end of his life.
My opinion about him getting screwed is this. You will have to show me this is misinformation if you want me to change my mind as believing this is my kyptonite if im wrong. But I havent seen anyone prove this wrong yet.
You honestly have a chance to change my mind here if you are willing to help me out, but ive put what i consider a reasonable effort into forming my opinion so its now on you to show me the error of my ways and im giving you the spot I think is easiest.
Ball is in your court friend

I said understand the concept, not invent it. So no i dont have any evidence for something i never claimed. Wtf is wrong with you.
- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 2 weeks ago:
He was not able to effectively continue to experiment and research. Because he may have worked with some of the people who worked on those projects, or at least had a connection to them, and also he may have lived a hell of a lot longer if he wasnt poor. Its not good for your health
So if he didnt get screwed over the way he did he would have lived differently.
Also a concept can exist decades before it is proven.
Dude had a brilliant mind and was a genius. Money allows you to persue the things you want in a way that being poor simply does not allow.
Is this really something you needed explained?
- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 2 weeks ago:
What are you on about?!
Tesla died a poor man 4 years before bell labs created the first transistor.
The microchip was invented about 15 years after he died.
Perhaps he WOULD have understood or even created these concepts if he had the funding he probably should have given his remarkable successes and contributions to the entire field of electrical engineering when he was still able to contribute. But unlikely sure. Not why you sre saying these weird things

- Comment on car insurance 1 month ago:
Give insurance companies the will power to say no im not going to insure you. And then cap insurance rates. and by cap i mean no insurance should be more expensive than the rate new drivers are allowed to be charged.
Where i live insurance rates have a discount for being a good driver. Goes up each year to cap at about 40percent. This is tied to your liscence not insurance.
Increase that discount for good drivers and make sufficiently bad drivers unable to be insured.

How is this helpful? Either using slurs is wrong or its not. Take a guess what happens when you give the majority a reason to dismiss your objections to their behaviour.
You are making it more difficult to fix the problems that exist because these 2 comments only tell bad actors that they dont want equality they want superiority. Why would a group that has privilege give up that privilege just to be treated as badly as they treat others?
Sure its ducking rediculous that this is the thing that gets a reaction, and not the endless horrors that have been done to people over history, but as long as we are willing to say, “fuck YOUR problems because you have the wrong colour of skin” you arent going to fix a damn thing, merely exchange one wrong position with another.

Anyway, 90% of people will agree that 90% of people are dumb, they just won’t agree on which 90%
Wholeheartedly agree with this
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid? 4 months ago:
Is someone stupid because they don’t know how to change a light bulb? A tire? How to do laundry? How to cook a meal? Review a book? Write an essay? Manage a task?
It’s just skills people dont have that often make them look stupid to most people who have that skill. Especially when those tasks seem very trivial once you have that skill.
Being ignorant of something doesnt make someone stupid. But i do think being stupid often prevents you for fixing your ignorance
Just 2 cents of thought
