Lessons of Perpetual Motion

If something works, it works, regardless of what people think.

If people don't know how something works (when it does), they must be considered ignorant in that area.

Woe be to those that underrate a new philosophy, for often enough it holds the key to the future, like Aristotle's logic.

What we consider genius is often artificially constructed on an idealized past. But geniuses are human beings, and new technology is part of the un-ideal present and future more than the ideal past.

Not absolutely everything is democracy when it comes to genius, some geniuses are better than others, and the right opinion can be rather 'expensive'.

Sometimes people, meaning usually non-experts and those who accept traditional approaches, can be very slow on the uptake.

Correct investment in cheap tools can make an enormous difference in various hairs of degree that totally change outcome.

There's no way of knowing at first how 'legendary' perpetual motion is, because currently there is too much skepticism in spite of the obscure nature of getting it right.

There are absurd requirements for how 'right' the inventor needs to be, a few of which don't need to be met, that is one of the reasons scientists happen to be wrong about it.

It took a long time to reach anything close to standardized perpetual motion equations. Now humans have a numbness to the existence of real results. That numbness will be one of the hardest things humanity has ever overcome.

Humanity still has some stupidity left. For example, perpetual motion could be great in outer space, but virtually no one has thought about this in a foundational way.

The inventor is a genius or extremely lucky, but we shouln't have to prove personality to accept that an invention works.

We shouldn't always assume the news is accurate about everything.

In coming times, we may take much greater avail of the concept of possibility.
