    It’s interesting how often academics are the last people to come around to the idea of innovation happening in their fields. You’d think they’d be the first. Here’s how they reacted to Edison (from Empires of Light)pic.twitter.com/AF7WW2xMDX

        What does indefinitely dividing the light mean in connection to Edison?

        Previous forms of incandescence would let you power one thing. Edison literally divided the flow of electricity to power many lightbulbs

        This describes the human condition. It's not limited to academics. Business history is littered with the remains of companies that are also the last people to come around to an innovation.

        Resembles the way many incumbent automaker directors and manufacturing types talk about $TSLA. Nobody likes being outsmarted.

        Academics enjoy their entrenched fiefdoms and don't want them disturbed.

        Although technically the note in the book says that law 21 is from Heinlein, but I’m not certain of the original source document.

        To paraphrase an old saw: institutions inevitably protect the problems they were created to solve.

        But the original electric light was something heated up by current flowing through it until it glowed--why would they think something couldn't be heated by more current until it could cook food? And why do they think the light flows on the wire instead of the electrical current?
