When I was a kid, perhaps 10, I imagined a perpetual motion machine and summoned my brother at that moment to demonstrate it. Just as I was about to show him proof of eternal unpowered water circulation, I realised it wasn't going to work.
So this guy, maybe he's highly intelligent but how much common sense?
- MrLeap 6y agoI think the senses of someone persistent in building a perpetual motion device are not of the common variety. That said, he's a good, perfectionist craftsman. You and I both can commiserate on how impossible his mission is, but I don't really feel comfortable trying to dismantle a dude with a dream who works hard at it. I'd prefer to try and encourage directions towards things with a chance useful outcomes. He taught me how to assemble solar panels from cells. That's why I have solar panels. Thinking through the contradictions there is fun.
