Nikola did not feel the horror show???
"I doubt that Tesla understood the scope of the atrocities that were being committed in Europe (and at the hands of the California eugenics movement) at the time. But again, his ideas were clear: the world should be rid of so-called undesirables. However unpleasant the idea of eugenics is to reasonable people on its surface, this notion seems particularly strange coming from a man like Tesla, whose own mental illnesses would have likely put him in the 'undesirable' category under any authoritarian regime."

He was in a bubble???
"Eugenics policies were shaped by entrenched hierarchies of race, class, gender and ability."
