I have read a great deal written about Tesla, and have most of what he wrote. They do not match.
There was a smear job done. It had to do with money.
I am working on a book, I have no evidence that Tesla said anything about eugenics, and I have a very good original collection from the period. Could you tell me where and when this eugenics story comes from?
Tesla was too involved in his work to even consider people. Much of his work is still undone. There are things he patented, exibited, that have not been done since. Having been burned on patents, he kept knowledge to himself, but let on here and there what he was seeing. A word to the wise is sufficent.
I have been trying to sort history, to build a vision of Tesla's thought, and find later writers not at all helpful. Scandel mongering dogs, peddlers of filth, mental midgets. They were also not very good writers.
Tesla was correct about women. He was also correct about the nature of energy, he was correct about the path of human development, and as many have learned recently, as their patent applications were rejected, Tesla patented modern computers in the early 1900s. He described the Internet. It is only the beginning.
I do not know one place he was wrong. Others have tried to overthrow his wave theory, but it will not die.
Science has been stagnant, physics can be explained in lesser ways, which leads to electric meters and gasoline. Who slandered Tesla, and imported experts to create half theories that have kept the meter and gas pump making others rich?
Tesla did not just talk, he built, showed, and when attacked, took it apart, and never built again. He quit!
I do admire the man. He had an unequaled view of reality and shared it for a while.
A hundred years has passed, and we have not caught up to where he stood, and if he was back now he would have the same problems. The world does not want to advance, it wants to control.
