Edison quote (reposted)

[Duppers]

Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.

- Thomas Edison (1847-1931)

1. Based on what happened in Jacksonville and North Carolina in the last few days

I think even being called a "savage" might be too high a distinction for some.

3. So. Based on that quote, "we are still savages."

Too many of us really are.

4. This from the man who introduced the electric chair ?

To "prove" AC was more dangerous than DC (on which machinery he held the patents)?

[Duppers]

5. He was a dichotomy - evil, arrogant...

Yet with a knowledge of what was humane.

Since he punished violence with violence, I wonder if he thought of himself as a savage.

And how he cheated Tesla was unforgivable.

I like the quote, not the hypocrite expressing it.
