There Is Something Else At Play Here At Automatski

Most people don't know about Samuel Pierpont Langley. And back in the early 20th century, the pursuit of powered man flight was like the dot com of the day. Everybody was trying it. And Samuel Pierpont Langley had, what we assume, to be the recipe for success. He was given 50,000 dollars by the War Department to figure out this Flying Machine. Money was no problem. He held a seat at Harvard and worked at the Smithsonian and was extremely well-connected; he knew all the big minds of the day. He hired the best minds money could find and the market conditions were fantastic. The New York Times followed him around everywhere, and everyone was rooting for Langley. Then howcome we have never heard of Samuel Pierpont Langley?

A few hundred miles away in Dayton, Ohio, Orville and Wilbur Wright, they had none of what we would consider a recipe for success. They had no money; they paid for their dream from the proceeds of their bicycle shop. Not a single person on the Wright brothers team had a college education, not even Orville or Wilbur. And The New York Times followed them around nowhere.

The difference was that Orville and Wilbur were driven by a cause, by a purpose, by a belief. They believed that if they could figure out this flying machine, it will change the course of the world. Samuel Pierpont Langley was different. He wanted to be rich and wanted to be famous. He was in pursuit of the result. He was in the pursuit of the riches. And lo and behold and look what happened. The people who believed in Wright Brother's dream, worked with them with blood, sweat and tears. The others just worked for the paycheck. They tell stories of how everytime the Wright Brothers went out, they would have to take 5 sets of parts, because thats how many times they would crash before supper.

And eventually on Dec 17th, 1903, the Wright Brothers took flight, and no one was there to even experience it. We found out about it a few days later. And further proof that Langley was motivated by the wrong thing: the day the Wright Brothers took flight, he quit. He could have said, "thats an amazing discovery, guys and I will improve upon your technology." but he didn't. He wasn't first, he didn't get rich, he didn't get famous, so he quit.

WE INVENTED THE WORLDS FIRST PRODUCTION GRADE MILLION QUBIT QUANTUM COMPUTER IN 1997. WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A NOBEL PRIZE FOR IT BUT EVEN 27 YEARS HENCE NOBODY IS READY TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. AND WE HAVE 100'S OF SUCH MILLENNIUM INVENTIONS THAT CAN MAKE MANKIND AN INTERGALACTIC RACE. WE FIGHT EACH DAY TO PUT BREAD ON OUR TABLES FOR OUR FAMILIES AND FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR KIDS. AND WE WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND FIGHT AGAIN WITH FIEFDOMS AND CRIMINALS DRIVEN BY POWER, SEX AND MONEY.  OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN WASTED BY PEOPLE IN POWER. WE ARE NOW OLD AND EXHAUSTED.
