Noodles is a fan of The Great Man Theory of history. In his book, Great Men are gods who live amongst us and cannot be judged by, or held to mere human standards. Only history can judge them, posthumously. You have said this many times, but you have no idea what you're talking about. It is another of your lies.
Now, to be clear, Jobs and Musk are both great mean by any metric. But the Great Man Theory goes a distant step beyond by assigning god like status to these people, which I haven't done, ever, and I do not think for a minute either of them actually controlled the entire playing field.
You're confused about the difference between god-like ability and just smart, hard work. The ability lead people while sleeping on the shop floor is limited to one in a very large number.
History has already judged these two men. I think everyone with a brain today acknowledges that Jobs was responsible for the creation of the modern cell phone. And no one else was going to put EVs on the map at this time (usurping the fake crisis of global warming in the process) which is what you on the Left really hate Musk for.
You had a role: To save the world from carbon. And this guy just comes in and sweeps away the problems, one after the other: get rid of gasoline cars. Energy storage. Totally turning around the notion of space travel, rocketry, network communications, and propelling neuroscience forward at an entirely unanticipated time frame. And those aren't close to being all.
If this isn't a great man. Then what is a great man in your eyes? He has done this with the winnings from a couple of smaller successes. This is the stuff da Vinci was doing. Was that a "great man"?
I appreciate your commitment to the theory but it is bullshit. Total bullshit. |
