Nikola Tesluman: His Lightning Staff & Far-Seeing Crystal Ball |
Every year, the "TransVision" conference is held (2007 was in Chicago,
and had William Shatner as a speaker; 2005 had Arthur C. Clarke, and
was in Caracas). It's a bunch of far-future'ists whose idea of the
human race is that it is evolving into something else new,
particularly with the connectivity revolution. People like Ulam, von
Neumann (even Baez on a recent posting on his blog site) talk about
this "Singularity", or singular transition point in history. BUT...
"Something festers in the heart of Middle-earth. Something you have
failed to see. But the Great Eye has seen it."
Adapted from John B. Kennedy, Colliers, 1926 January 30
"... [An] inventive genius found quick recognition ... he established
plants ... where his innumerable experiments resulted in all manner of
important and minor advances in electrical science. Lord Kelvin said
of him (before he was forty) that he had contributed more than any
other man to the study of electricity.", writes Kennedy.
The genius that Kennedy is interviewing speaks:
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted
into a huge brain ... We shall be able to communicate with one another
instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through
television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as
perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening
distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we
shall be able to do this will be amazingly simple compared with our
present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest
pocket."
(Yes, it said *1926* up above, not 2006 or 1996 or 1986...)
"We shall be able to witness and hear events--the inauguration of a
President, the playing of a world series game, the havoc of an
earthquake or the terror of a battle--just as though we were present."
"Already motion pictures have been transmitted by wireless over a
short distance. Later the distance will be illimitable, and by later I
mean only a few years hence."
Already, we see where this vision is heading: "a MAN's vest pocket?",
one asks.
Thus, the genius in the interview speaks on:
"It is clear to any trained observer, and even to the sociologically
untrained, that a new attitude ... has come over the world ...
receiving an abrupt stimulus just before and after the World War."
Then, the Dark Side comes out, and a feeling of deja vu starts to
emerge. This engineering and scientific genius who had been the
subject of the 1926 Collier's interview with John B. Kennedy sounds
strangely familiar.
Out comes the crystalline globe, whose name, "Palantir", in the high
Eldarin tongue means "television". It is held in one hand, while in
the other is a staff bearing a vast power of artificial lightning. The
(DVD) movie line suddenly comes to mind
"So you have come here for information. I have some for you."
"A MAN's vest pocket", that is, or did he actually mean to say "a
WOMAN's purse"? It's not men who have the greatest connectivity
through the cell phone and cyberspace world. Connectivity completely
tips the balance of power of the sexes...
The genius continues on, in the actual Collier's article:
"This struggle of the human female toward sex equality will end in a
new sex order, with the female as superior. The modern woman, who
anticipates in merely superficial phenomena the advancement of her
sex, is but a surface symptom of something deeper and more potent
fermenting in the bosom of the race."
The deja vu gets stronger still. One begins to see the image of a
white-robed member of the order of the Istar standing over a parapet
of a large dark tower, brandishing the crystalline far-seeing
device...
"Something festers in the heart of Middle-earth. Something you have
failed to see. But the Great Eye has seen it."
-- Saruman's parley, adapted from the DVD version of "Return of the
King"
Continuing the actual 1926 quote of the strangely familiar scientific
genius...
"It is not in the shallow physical imitation of men that women will
assert first their equality and later their superiority, but in the
awakening of the intellect of women.
The scene flashes back to Saruman...
"Even now She presses Her advantage. Surely you do not think you can
defeat Her? She who defeated the Dark Lord with his own Ring, given to
Her freely by the Halfling to whose doom you sent?"
"A new sex order is coming", writes Kennedy concerning his interview
with the scientist/istari, "with the female as superior. You will
communicate by some vest-pocket equipment..."
As this is being said, the deja vu gets stronger still. The scientific
and engineering genius -- Nikola Tesla -- is now the white-robed
istar, Saruman, holding the crystalline "television" palantir ball in
one hand and the lightning-producing staff in the other. But now, he
looks out from the parapet upon a vast army of arrayed in the field
below:
"A new power is rising, its victory is at hand."
The crowd cheers on
"The land will be stained with the blood of men."
The cheers grow wilder
"March to victory! Leave none alive!"
The vast army is whipped up into a cheering frenzy, and he issues his
call to battle.
"TO WAR!"
Then he speaks quietly to himself
"There will be no dawn for Men."
-- adapted from Saruman rally cry in The Two Towers
Tesla's actual commentary went on:
"... the female mind has demonstrated a capacity for all the mental
acquirements and achievements of men, and as generations ensue that
capacity will be expanded; the average woman will be as well educated
as the average man, and then better educated,..."

(Color graphics showing the inexorable trend from the 1950's on, and
its inevitable outcome, field by field).
"... for the dormant faculties of her brain will be stimulated to an
activity that will be all the more intense and powerful because of
centuries of repose. Woman will ignore precedent and startle
civilization with their progress."
"The acquisition of new fields of endeavor by women, their gradual
usurpation of leadership ... human civilization [will] draw closer and
closer to the perfect civilization of the bee."
"...the all-governing supremacy of the instinct for immortality which
makes divinity out of motherhood."
"The center of all bee life is the queen. She dominates the hive..."
(Suddenly, everything flash-forwards 80 years after Tesla's interview
to images
of barely-clad Nicoles, Parises, Brittanies, Annas; and to scene-
stealing
gossip magnets such as all the Oprahs, the Tyras and Angelineas...)
Saruman/Tesla continues on, in his parley ...
"She is stronger than the foundations of the Earth. She will hold
dominion over all life, even onto the ending of this world. You will
all love her and despair! And the exile, crept from the shadows, who
rides along with you, Gandalf, will never be crowned King."
Thus the logical conclusion of the connectivity revolution envisioned
by the dark istar Tesluman is none other than -- a wireless world-
spanning web and the transformation of the human race into an utterly
female-dominated Hive Mind.

On Tesla's foresight...
The modern woman, who
anticipates in merely superficial phenomena the advancement of her
, is but a surface symptom of something deeper and more potent
fermenting in the bosom of the race... the average woman will be as
well educated as the average man, and then better educated,..."
.... and no part of the world, not even the most patriarchal, shall be
immune...
Women Graduates Challenge Iran
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5359672.stm
"Well over half the university students in Iran are now women. In the
applied physics department of Azad University 70% of graduates are
women..."
A similar lopsidedness (especially in the sciences) exists in the
universities in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab
Emirates, and is growing in Jordan, Palestine, Libya, Tunisia, etc.

The evolution in the United States (not the change in the sciences
fields!) is typical of the developed world:

Mongolia's Universities: A Woman's World

(60-70% of students female; ting nearly all fields)
.... a situation typical, also, of much of the former Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe.
