Tesla was damn sure that he was right and most of the time he was. But his “Magnifying transmitter” at Wardenclyffe, Long island never worked. It became what it was meant to be, more like an artist’s conception - Tesla saw himself as an artist. Failure is human and there is nothing bad about it. If you know you’ve done a mistake, look into the eye of it. But never think of your own mind to be above everything; this will not work in the end. Yes, there was the spark of genius, OK. But to think one can rule the world, even construct a new cosmic world order … that`s called Hubris, I think.
Wardenclyffe “didn’t work” because it was never finished. Tesla did indeed see himself as an artist, which meant he was minimally concerned with the business side of the operation. Unfortunately, his main backer (JP Morgan) was the opposite.
It is not outlandish to say that free electricity would have created a new world order, especially in the the early 20th century. No one has yet proven that the Wardenclyffe concept (a network of large-scale transmitters delivering wireless electricity) wouldn’t have worked.

If Tesla had “Hubris” it would pale by that shown of the first poster above “Chris”
