What is this, the goddamned Middle Ages?!!
And what about the alchemist from Bern who had the bright idea that something else that shines like gold is piss, so he boiled gallons of it, trying to extract the pure, powdered essence? That must have made him quite popular in the neighborhood… taking peoples’ piss and boiling it, the smell coming from that house must have been incredible.
Anyway, the guy was the first to isolate phosphorus as an element.

- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 1 week ago:
Don’t forget Marconi, he was also a deeply screwed-up individual who betrayed many along the way and thus was undeserving of the Nobel Prize he did receive.
Marconi basically used the patent system to raid British research institutes, violating each and every gentleman’s agreement along the way. And he did it with money from the British postal or telegram offices, who he unceremoniously dumped on the eve of unveiling his wireless contraption.

She took on where Heinrich Hertz left off, and made it to the top of the Tinseltown heap!
C’mon… you know you wanna see a musical on the life of Heinrich Hertz.Considering the man spent over a year working in a blacked-out room, trying to detect the faint spark of electricity transmitted wirelessly, it’s gonna have a song or three about fumbling or stumbling in the dark.

There are elements to life that have drastically changed for the better, to name one example how about not just being able to hear your local radio stations, but radio from anywhere in the world.
The fact that I can tune in live to… say BBC Radio 6, and be listening along to the exact same thing they’re listening to in a city like London, makes a measurable positive impact in my night-owl life. It emotionally makes me feel more connected to the outside world from where I am, and that’s one station out of hundreds of thousands, if not millions. I can explore the world.
Another example is that now understand (to the extent that each step makes sense to me) the physics theories and laboratory experiments that have changed our paradigm of reality itself, thanks to a whole bunch of science content creators on YouTube; it is incredible what can now be explained in relatively (ahem) simple language, and it is, by people doing the explaining as as labor of love.
People have found ways to express in mostly non-technical language what a couple of decades ago felt like abstract numerical gibberish wherever one looked. I find this spectacular. And inspiring.These new tools that have been put in our hands are astonishingly powerful and profound. Yet of course, they can be both either used or abused.
