Reply to comment by mcpickledick in adults who look back at pictures of their younger selves and realize they had no reason to be so insecure back then, should bear in mind that they will likely be thinking the same thing in a couple decades when looking back on their current selves [discussion] by ideas_now

For me, it’s not really that I’ll be ugly in the future. It’s that my current state of mind and body dysmorphia make me see my present self in a warped way. But looking at pictures from the past, I look different than I do now and it’s more objective than critical.

He’s been dead since 1966 clearly he still makes all the movies.

What do you think people think 20th century fox movies are made by a fox?

It is not the same impact.

It is about the person. Attaching a famous historical person to a quote is done to give it weight. If you throw a quote up not attributed to anyone it just won't resonate the same as if you can say it was said by Albert Einstein or Abraham Lincoln.

This quote in particular, if you had a high opinion of Edison and believed the myth that he was some genius inventor you would be inspired that he worked hard, didn't let his failures stop him, and he went on to revolutionize the world. More are learning he was really a corporation cheating and benefitting off the work of others.

I believe this is what is referred to as misinformation.

Why am I not surprised that this is bullshit.

On the one hand, I think it's great that Tesla gets a lot of props these days. But I think it's absolutely tragic that so many people feel like they have to pull someone else down.

Yeah, they didn't get along and Edison kinda screwed Tesla. That was sort of par for the course in business back then (and today, if we are being honest).

But no, it's never enough to point out somewhere that Edison was wrong. Now he has to be the devil from Jersey.

- from someone who once completely bought into the whole Edison is Evil goof

I saw that bob's burgers episode, unfortunately it's factually incorrect (in regards to the elephant).

He also used other people's inventions to electrocute and kill children's pets, as well as a freaking elephant, to 'prove' said inventions were dangerous (forgetting to mention that mostly anything can be dangerous if you specifically set out to make it dangerous).
