Dr. Robert Kearns, the Lenny Bruce of Inventors

here's an interestingly bittersweet movie about the inventor of the
intermittent windshield wiper:

Flash of Genius (2008)

and even though Kearns experienced a very tragic waste of time (over a
decade), losing way too much, you still gotta admire the guy on some
level.

it's good to celebrate creative people who refuse to get fucked over,
isn't it?

and even though they DO get fucked over...

at least they never bow down to the fuckers.

like so many other cowards do.

and they teach us well what to expect from the lazy greedy
motherfuckers.

making it far easier for the next generation of talent to outwit those
assholes.

thus making life a little bit better for us all.

big whoop, but still...
