John,

Most books are dangerous. That is why you get beat up for reading them. To
this day, when out on the street, I carry a book with the title hidden. Don't
let them know what you are thinking, don't let them know what you are reading.
Act stupid. I think Tesla was very good at intellectual paranoia, bad at
business.

The oppression of a democracy is that if you have the intelligence to create a
free opinion then some illiterate idiot at the bus stop will gladly stomp on
you for expressing it. You don't have to wait for the government.
