Actually, Kurzweil may very well surpass Tesla in the end for ‘outside the box’ ideas, certainly surpass him in credibility! George Westinghouse knew that, like harnessing some of his ideas, harnessing Tesla would prove profitable.
Many inventors are eccentric....look at Bill Gates!

Kurzweil is a bright guy, but, he has still got a ways to go if he wants to surpass Tesla’s impact.

Bill Gates eccentric - yes.
Bill Gates inventor - uh, no.

Many inventors are eccentric....look at Bill Gates! Bad analogy. Sheisters, con-artists and pitchman were around long before Gates.

Actually, Kurzweil may very well Actually, Kurzweil may very well......... "Kurzweil" and "credibility" don't necessarily go together. At least, some people think so.

Actually, Kurzweil may very well surpass Tesla in the end for ‘outside the box’ ideas, certainly surpass him in credibility! Kurzweil is a genius, but credible? He is predicting humans will be able to 'upload' their consciousness into computers by 2030 or 2040, right? Hopefully I live long enough to see that! But, I'm thinking he's waaayyyy out there on his predictions, just like Tesla (despite the convincing graphs & stuff)
