Nikola Tesla: Increasing Human Energy
This is an adaptation of a lecture that I delivered a few years ago before the Phoenix Society of Gentlemen and Ladies. I have strung together several of Tesla’s statements and placed them within the loose framework of his conception of the advancement of humanity, “increasing human energy” as he puts it. The philosophy of increasing human energy is largely simplistic mechanism, and Tesla’s pronouncements concerning technology evoke Futurism. Many of my sources can be found on the excellent Tesla resource hosted by PBS at http://www.pbs.org/tesla
