O' my brilliancy!
It has been a long time, I know.
"...Houston, Jason is now approaching blogospheric reentry. Deploy drogue lines STAT."
I have been away for quite some time. Unlike Dante, I did not abandon hope, so all ye who abandoned hope may not enter. For the inferno is unlike any you have ever seen with your own eyes.
I am in awe of a brilliant genius, an awesomity that has yet again induced horriplation of my dermis (poor man's translation: goose bumps). The man is Nikola Tesla, a man far, far ahead of his time. In a nut-shell, everybody has seen "AC/DC" in regard to electricity. Ok. Tesla is to AC as Thomas Edison is to DC.
Edison was Edison because he was deaf and finding it difficult to keep up with his peers in school (I can see why!) had his books, which he voraciously read. He was really a man of his times. Tesla, if he was still alive (his peak was duirng the 1880's-1920's), would still be decades ahead of his time. I am now finally writing because of yet another Tesla-induced inspiration. Here is what I mean:
Yes, we have those type of people amongst us today. We wouldn't advance as a society if we hadn't listened to visionaries. History is full of examples. Just think of Galileo and the Church's Inquisition. That same Inquisition was guilty for the death by stake-fire of Giordano Bruno, a brilliant genius who greatly influenced Galileo and the rest is history. *
A modern-day visionary who is certain to find his place amongst Newton's Giants** is Ray Kurzweil:
More later! I have guests ringing the doorbell at 2:45 AM! History is waiting to be made.
*Pope Benedict XIV, as Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, was head of the Doctrine of the Faith, the very unit of the Vatican which carried out the Inquistion.

"Mr. [J.P.] Morgan, what I contemplate and what I can certainly accomplish is not a single transmission of messages without wires to great distances; it is the transformation of the entire globe into a sentient being, as it were, which can feel in all its parts and through which thought may be flashed as through a brain. From one single plant thousands of trillions if instruments could be operated, each costing no more than a few dollars, and situated in all parts of the glove. Will you help me or let my great work- almost complete- go to pot?" -Nikola Tesla, 1903Wow. We had prophets 2,000-plus years ago. That doesn't logically mean there won't be bonafide prophets in all times, including 100 years ago, today, and 1,000 years fom now and thereafter.
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, as all being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one other instantly, irrespective to distance. Not only this, but though television and telephone we shall see and hear one other as perfectly as though we were face to face." -Nikola Tesla, 1900

A modern-day visionary who is certain to find his place amongst Newton's Giants** is Ray Kurzweil:
"Evolution has been seen as a billion-year drama that led inexorably to its grandest creation: human intelligence. The emergence in the early twenty-first century of a new form of intelligence on Earth that can compete with, and ultimately significantly exceed, human intelligence will be a development of greater import than any of the events that have created human history. It will be no less important than the creation of the intelligence that created it, and it will have profound implications for all aspects of human endeavor, including the nature of work, human learning, government, warfare, the arts, and our concept of ourselves."Thoroughout the ages, you hear (or see, in my case) the same echoes that drive the conscious evolution of human beings. Often, we are building upon the foundations that our forefathers built, as I just showed. Ray Kurzweil's modern-day work soldifies the truth of Tesla's statements.
