Tesla was practically a demigod and quite dear, but "worst is better" was the governing principle even in the heydays of the industrial revolution.
That said, your post doesn't make sense. Tesla applied his book learning consistently. I don't see how Tesla is a "counterpoint" to the OP's post.
- lkozma 17y agoThe title and post implied that we probably often overthink/plan things, and we should jump in and start implementing (earlier). According to the quote (if Tesla was right), even such an immensely successful person as Edison tended to plan/learn too little. Which means that probably we plan too little as well, not too much, assuming that we<=Edison. It's a counterpoint in this sense. Also I think it is only a typo, but "WorsT is better" made me smile ...
- lucifer 17y ago:) It was a typo. We can agree to disagree re. Tesla. We have no authoritative insight regarding his "over thinking", but my gut feeling is that the wheels were constantly spinning in his brain.
