"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole, 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 fit in our pockets.” -----------Nikola Tesla, 1926 When I remind people that Nikola Tesla claimed that he was in wireless contact with advanced Alien Civilizations when he made stunning predictions like the one you just read and was, at the same time, making extraordinary scientific advancements, most of them usually say, "Sir, Mr. Tesla was very smart and equally very crazy. Just like you...Well, except for the being very smart part. It is nearly mathematically certain that there are civilizations out there more advanced than we are but they are too far away to ever contact us. We know this because we can't do it and we are a planet full of very stable geniuses. If we can't do it, no one can, Sir. #SETIIsAWasteOfMoney." It's enough, as John Cleese once said, to make you want to chew your own leg off. It's only a temporary situation, though, because sometime very soon, Nikola and/or his duly appointed representatives, including me, are going to be able to say, "I told ya so." Now, some of you are saying, "Sir, you've been saying that for more than forty years now. You know, if I were any better at math, I might think you're lying when you say you're only 29. So, you've lost on the alien issue. But don't give up. Keep trying different things. The Law Of Averages says you'll have to be right about something someday." I have a response to that but you can only see it on my MyLot AfterDark Channel. With that in mind, let's go to Tuesday, September 6, 1966, and see what the Cosmic Universal Anthem Song Of The Month Club Song For Today is. ************** Mr. Spaceman -- The Byrds -- 1966
