well i was cut off at the end what i said was: "i will give you puppies and roses" i will go all happyness in the next vlog i post... that being said let's run this down a bit better

Erwin Schrodinger: thought experiment used wrong
Niels Bohr: the person you want to be noting instead
Hugh Everett III: was who i was talking about
Mark Oliver Everett: Mc Honkey (i shit you not) and E of The Eels
Philo Farnsworth: thought up the idea of the television at 14 while working in a potato patch, thought it would break cultural gaps, bring an end to racism, and allow ideas to be shared. lived long enough to hear Newton Minow's speech declaring television a vast wasteland (see below)
Orville Wright: has high hopes for his invention like farnsworth, him and his brother thinking the flying invention would bring an end to wars. lived til 48, saw Hiroshima, and wrote a statement to a question he was asked that gave me this "hahaha help will arrive hahaha they have to" vibe
F Scott Fitzgerald: quite possible the most depressing life story i have heard. was rich during the 20's, his wife went mad, and died in 1940. slowly before his death he was visibly losing his sanity, for a decade no one would take his ideas, he started mocking himself as a hack and the manner of his death was a drinking problem he has since college... most people will recognize one of his works that got turned into a movie last year: the curious case of Benjamin button, the critically acclaimed movie of a person being born old and aging in reverse, made into a hit 60 some years after his death...

"When television is good, nothing — not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers — nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland. You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly commercials — many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it." - Newton Minow sums up 3 channels of television in 1961, still an argument made today sadly with over a thousand...
