Is this man a genius or a charlatan?
who the fuck cares? why are there so many threads asking if guy X is a genius? there are geniuses, and there are idiots, and then there's you. are you a genius? if not, why? what are you doing right now to justify not being smart enough to be a genius? why aren't you making strides in your field? because you had to shitpost on /sci/? fuck off, go open a path for discovery instead of fantasizing that someone else is or isn't.

What is t.?
>>7849781
t. is shorthand for terveisin, which is Finnish for “with regards”.
It's a new meme.

>it works on the assumption that there is already enough to go around
There's more than enough to go around right now. The problem is the logistics. All the stuff to go around doesn't want to go around very well. Actually, the people who could be doing it don't' give a shit about everyone else.
Altruism is a disease.

How is it not a disease? People who want to help other people by the definition of altruism normally have mental problems. Being selfless in nature is tantamount to suicide.
All forms of helping others always gives the helper something back to the helper, except for altruism.

I'd imagine it would be helpful for group/family survival
We definitely have more than enough resources to allow everyone on Earth to live a fantastic existence, but it would take reorganizing how we distribute resources. It seems to me, that he has a realistic model to build on.
He is 100y old. fck.
A couple windmills and solar panels wont run that city and a computer in a big room wont stop crime.

More than 80% of Denmark's energy comes from fossil fuels.
So fuck off

Not true. For electricity consumption, ~40% came from wind power in 2014. They plan to scale it to 50% by 2020 and then 80% by 2030.

That isn't altruism. Altruism means "disinterested and selfless". If you are doing stuff that helps the group/family you are in, then you are not being, "disinterested and selfless."
Didn't he design a fuck ton of shit?
Even if you disagree with his politics the man is amazingly smart.
I actually think he's on to something though.
>>7849734
he wasted his time being devoid of practicality
>>7850013
Yes. With no formal education of any kind. He dropped out of high school, too. It's pretty nuts to think he's been an adult since the 1930s.
>>7850553
When will /sci/ realize that dropouts are the masterrace?
>>7850056
He couldn't get funding. He almost had something going in the 1940s, but then the u.a. government retracted funding.
He's had a lot of bad luck, plus his personality does not lead him to playing well with others.
