Not long ago someone asked why the car manufacturer chose “Tesla” as the brand name, and a quick history lesson about electricity, alternating and direct current, along with the already overused “Edison” name, appeared to shed light on the issue. Thus, Nikola Tesla lives on, notwithstanding his largely obscure existence, especially to the younger generations that spend a considerable portion of their lives immersed in social media, or in line awaiting the release of the latest tech marvel in a futile attempt to fulfill an emptiness. Oh well, not everyone can be happy!
But there’s a push lately to dispose of symbols—statues, flags, names, etc.—that remind us of the past, and we’ve reached a point where if anyone is offended by anything, we must destroy the “threats” and provide a safe-space for certain individuals so they’re presumably able to function, masking a deeper level of stupidity that goes by largely unnoticed or is simply ignored.
My take on this new found psychologically delicate condition is that if one hasn’t achieved much in life, it’s easier to fault someone or something along the way, while making outsiders feel guilty. If anyone wants to truly understand hardships, psychological and physiological, think pilgrims, the do or die predicament that they faced, and you’ll get it. But we are now in a state of perpetually soothing someone’s feelings, which is nothing more than a process designed to mask their aggregate failures, a.k.a. diversity based bitching. In short, we’re being force-fed a politically correct Utopia that is inducing everyone into an intellectual coma. Oh crap, poetry again!
But let’s talk about Nikola Tesla, the largely unsung genius that very few know about, and we shall bring forth the article “A Machine to End War,” as told by him during the Great Depression to George Sylvester Viereck, a German-American poet and pro-Nazi propagandist. If you’re a die-hard liberal in love with your environmentally friendly electric car, you may feel a bit embarrassed by the name Tesla, although I shall advance that Nikola’s logic is right on the money and, as inconvenient and offensive as it is, humanity will understand it in due time. I often tell people that the answers tend to be simple, not the usual complex soup of utter nonsense, and it is always the simplicity of thought and its conclusions that are terrifying.
Although Tesla stated that “forecasting is perilous” and “no man can look very far into the future,” he predicted that “in the twenty-first century the robot will take the place which slave labor occupied in ancient civilization.” But his insight into the human machine is what is truly fascinating and one may conclude that Adolph Hitler may have learned a thing or two from Nikola Tesla, and proceeded to implement his own deviant vision. However, one can find solace in environmentally conscientious statements such as this one, considering that it was 1935:
The pollution of our beaches such as exists today around New York City will seem as unthinkable to our children and grandchildren as life without plumbing seems to us. Our water supply will he [sic] far more carefully supervised, and only a lunatic will drink unsterilized water.
But despite Tesla’s unparalleled contributions to science, it is the following excerpt that raises eyebrows, and will cause Tesla-hugging, liberal environmentalists to feel like they’ve been stabbed in the eye and thrown into a pit filled with battery acid, or crude oil for shock value:
The year 2100 will see eugenics universally established. In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man’s new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit. The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct, [sic] Several European countries and a number of states of the American Union sterilize the criminal and the insane. This is not sufficient. The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.
To summarize, nature is ruthless and our “new sense of pity” saved the “unfit,” and that behavior will be corrected. There’s a link to sexuality in there that he either didn’t understand or chose to avoid. And exactly what did he mean by “unfit?” Was it physical, intellectual, or both? I know, nobody wants to travel down that road! Here’s food for thought: World population in the 1930s was around 2 billion, and it has ballooned by an astounding 350% in less than 100 years, a development that Tesla may not have accounted for. Now, once again, there’s a pro and con to everything, and as much as people try to ignore the facts, we’re nothing more than mere animals, sometimes rational.
Well, let’s stop for now, and if anyone was looking for a safe-space before, now is the time to start digging very deep in your backyard, and then start boycotting anything associated with Nikola Tesla, including electricity, automobiles and cell phones. Damn, there goes my social media! As for Tesla Motors, they may have a branding decision to make—or not.
