[1]tesla-2 I don't like when famous dead people are quoted saying things they've never said. *Who questions it? *Few it seems. *I have a rule of thumb: If a quote is on a meme, it's probably not true. *If the quote is from a famous person who is dead it's especially not true. *If the words seem too perfect, too modern, too "now", it's not true. * So, what do I do? I try to prove it's true. *If I *can't* prove that they said it, then they probably didn't say it. Here is tesla-2.txt * I rasterized a "Tesla Said..." which contains every document Tesla ever published FROM HIMSELF. *IN HIS OWN WORDS. *Not his various autobiographies, one in the late 1800s, another in 1919, and I don't know HOW MANY MORE through the decades since. *Sure, it says autobiography. *Sure, it has Tesla's name on it. *BUT HE DIDN'T WRITE THEM. *He may have _approved_ the ones written while he was alive... BUT THEY'RE NOT HIS WORDS. So, these are his words, as best as my OCR could manage it. *If it's not here, he _probably_ didn't say it, no matter _how_ wonderful it sounds. *No matter if someone claims *THE SECRET PAPERS OF NIKOLA TESLA*. *Bull. *Just bull. *Here's what he wrote, and here's what he said. *He was a man, not a God. *Smart guy but the worship really is a bit much. *Really. *Admire? *Sure. *Misunderstood genius? *Perhaps. *But please, stop putting words in a dead man's mouth: HE CAN'T ARGUE BACK. *It's not fair. *Really, it's not. *-Kenneth Udut* [2]tesla-2 References Visible links 1. http://icopiedyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/tesla-2.txt 2. http://icopiedyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/tesla-2.txt
