What a tosser Brunel was. Essentially he says: "Trust me, there are many idiots, but lucky you, there is me".
Reminds me of Elon Musk. Just because you are a genius does not mean others are idiots, or that your opinion is worth more. Elon proves this every day with his idiotic pronouncements and hie genius results
Reminds me of the old saying: A camel is a horse designed by a committee. Meaning committees are idiotic. But a camel goes further, carrying more, on less food and less water. Yes.
- kragen 4y agoyeah, that brunel guy, what did he know about engineering anyway probably just some loser trying to cut corners on his highway offramp planning huh what's this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunel or uhhh maybe not who is considered "one of the most ingenious and prolific figures in engineering history,"[3] "one of the 19th-century engineering giants",[4] and "one of the greatest figures of the Industrial Revolution, [who] changed the face of the English landscape with his groundbreaking designs and ingenious constructions".[5] Brunel built dockyards, the Great Western Railway (GWR), a series of steamships including the first purpose-built transatlantic steamship, and numerous important bridges and tunnels. His designs revolutionised public transport and modern engineering. yeah what a fucking tosser
- brabel 4y agoI think the parent comment's point was exactly that, to idiots, the opinions of a genius look idiotic. Just as Elon's and Brunel's opinions and methods look stupid to their contemporaries (as we see today with Elon, and in the 19th century with Brunel).
- worik 4y agoMy point is that just because you are a brilliant genius does not stop you being, also, a fool. Brunel is a nineteenth century example, Elon Must is a twenty first century example....
