One of the most eccentric geniuses to ever live.

I don't know why, but all the far out mega-conspiracy nuts seem obsessed with Tesla. Some anti-Semitic organizations sell copies of his notes in both English and the original Serbo-Croatian. No, I'm not saying Tesla was an anti-Semite. Anti-Semites do seem fascinated with him, however.

Another eccentric character (not as important as Tesla, but fifty times nuttier) was Edward Leedskalnin, the subject of my favorite In Search Of . . . episode (available on YouTube!).

He did make some anti-semitic remarks. But,,,, I think they were the result of his troubles getting financing.

“Tesla’s anti-Semitism appeared sporadic and was unusual among gentiles of his time. Once he called one of his secretaries to him and hissed as if it were a revealed truth, “Miss! Never trust a Jew!””

But again, I think it had to do with his frustration over trying to get financing.

That coral castle is far less impressive in person than Nimoy made it sound...
