So? Is he a genius or an autist?

So? Is he a genius or an autist?

...

he is a meme

he's 100% right though. Choosing to give up freedom isn't freedom

How?
Just throwing Phrases out the without Explanation never helped anyone.

Are they mutually exclusive?

"Those who could give up a little safety for temporary freedoms deserve neither one"

-Thomas Edison

He's an autist. I don't know why people listen to him for anything.

>Thinking using Windows is the same as giving up freedom
Say that to an Albanian sex slave

Thomas Edison was a capitalistic dickhole though.

I'm pretty sure he's now more crazy than Terry A. Davis.

What if she chose to become a sex slave?

He's 100% wrong though. If there is no option to choose to give up your freedom, then it doesn't exist.
Freedom™ (ie america's dumbass understanding of it) is freedom within a small box. That's what Toe Jam eater is advocating in favor of. But then again he's autistic and no one actually takes him seriously so *shrugs*

You are free to choose being a slave

Tesla is Sup Forums approved though, Edison is the fuccboi

Thank you ancaps.

If Tesla gives you a hardon, you're a normie redditor and should fuck off.

Stonecold capitalism is where it's at. Eddison is true to his ideals, a perfect man. You commie sympathising niggers need to read some Fountainhead.

You can't choose to become a slave.
You can choose to sell your body for money completely willingly but if you don't have the freedom to leave then you haven't made the choice.

Women with male sexdrives would be scary cockhungry slurping holes

Tesla was the man you faggot, he dedicated all his life for his work. He was so smart he could do integration problems in his head. Hell he even gave up broads for his work. That's dedication
What did Edison do? Steal Tesla's DC motor? Defame him by electricuting elephants? Everything evil was done but Edison, Tesla even invented a system to provide wireless power

Accept it, Tesla was the real inventor, Edison was just a wannabe inventor businessman

You can't techmically sell yourself into permanent slavery in an ancap system, although there could be voluntary contractual slavery. Every contract has to have an escape clause though, there would always have to be a way to escape slavery if you wanted.

>Tesla was the man you faggot, he dedicated all his life for his work.
He was a recluse with a dove fetish, and he spent literal years wasting his live after working at Edisons'. Only by working for someone who pushed him, did he achieve anything.

He also realised what a deadbeat he had become and burned down his own lab, bitch was all sorts of crazy.

>He was so smart he could do integration problems in his head.
Many people do this.

>Hell he even gave up broads for his work.
"gave up" implies he didn't have som serious mental issues with sexuality.

>What did Edison do? Steal Tesla's DC motor? Defame him by electricuting elephants? Everything evil was done but Edison,
Edison ran a successful company and employed many intelligent engineers and inventors. By pushing people to strive for greatness, he contributed to the economy.

>Tesla even invented a system to provide wireless power
Nothing Faraday/Maxwell hadn't shown worked first.

>Every contract has to have an escape clause though, there would always have to be a way to escape slavery if you wanted.
Doesn't modern human trafficking have the exact same escape clause? "Once you paid back what you owe for smugling you here, you're free to go"

>wasting RMS's time by asking fucking retarded questions that are already answered on his site

>misquoting

>redditors actually think edison said this

We are all memes, technically. And we're made *of* and communicate *via* memes. These letters are memes. These words are memes. My genetic code and the flesh it maintains is a meme. This is an unhelpful classification. This is a meme.

Edison, Jefferson, who cares. They're both dead white dudes that had a bunch of privileges when they lived.

Thank you, Richard Dawkins.

It was neither, redditor. It was Benjamin Franklin.

Tesla is the crowned king of meme science.

The few actual contributions he made to society were just continuing the work of previous scientists. That's completely fine, of course, because successive collaboration is the foundation of scientific progress, but he doesn't deserve the idiotic amounts of praise that get heaped on him. He was also a pathological liar. Read through his notebooks: they're filled to the brim of elaborate descriptions of experiments he clearly never did and wild claims of his abilities, like his "I built a tiny earthquake device that almost leveled a city" bullshit or his "I could split the world in half in an instant if I wanted" horseshit. For every real contribution he made, there are ninety nine pure fabrications.

So why is so fucking popular? Because he appeals to both science-worshipping autistics and scientifically-illiterate idiots, both of whom are highly active on the internet. The former group likes him because he's everything they aspire to be — single-minded, asexual, completely devoted to science, unable to communicate or interactive with others, etc. — and also because people like that absolutely live for contrarianism. They'll desperately cling to anything that makes them seem smarter than the average person ("oh you think edison is important?"). The latter group likes him because he spent 90% of his time sitting around making heaps of vague statements about energy and vibration that sound 2deep4me, but have no actual meaning whatsoever. Through the constant barrage of shitty memes about him, anybody in the middle ground who spends time on the internet gets so much exposure that they start to like him, too.

Fuck Tesla and fuck the idiots who would suck his dick if he hadn't chopped it off so he could focus on his pseudoscience.

>that's the joke

He's a commie so autism is a given and the option of him being a 'genius' is removed.
