Ben was A Genius for two reasons. First, He had enough intelligence to be one & second, He was a most curious person that would stop at nothing to keep his brain moving. Unlike Freud, Jung & Einstein, who came later, Ben was into as many topics as he possibly could be into. He discovered so many topics from astrology, printing &well, you know the rest. Point being is that he didn't need Japanese technology to do it all.

When he left his brothers newspaper and went to Philadelphia, he walked from Boston to Philadelphia through the woods. It took him a few days, but can you imagine doing that? Look at what they wore back then. In the woods was bears and wolves and native Americans who weren’t exactly that pleased with people like him. But he did it and was okay. People back then were a lot tougher than we are today.

When we were tasked to do a presentation on a scientist/physicist in school I immediately thought of Ben Franklin and because I was already starting to learn about american History I was eager to learn more about his life as we were to present the Biography and things the person invented and found out so I made a little paper Kite and band a key to it as a practical display and explained how his famous lightning experiment worked.

He dropped out of my Alma mater Boston Latin School, the oldest school in America for which Harvard University was originally founded one year later in 1636 to receive Boston Latin School’s first graduating class. We Boston Latin School alumni/alumnae, we always pride ourselves in having Benjamin Franklin as its famous dropout.

Located around 4th st. & Race street and only a few blocks from the Ben Franklin bridge going over the Delaware river to New Jersey. As a kid we would spend all day at the Franklin Institue. Has a old steam train engine that moves several feet.

An important fact: While Franklin owned six people as household slaves in his youth, he eventually freed them and became one of the few founders to take a strong stand against slavery, calling it "an atrocious debasement of human nature". He even went even further than most abolitionists of his day by supporting schools for black children and providing legal, financial, and vocational advice to newly-freed African Americans. Before his death, his last act as a public official was drafting a petition demanding that Congress abolish slavery.

In his later years, Ben Franklin suffered from kidney stones. He reached a point where he could not even walk, and if you don't know, kidney stones are incredibly painful. Trust me, I know far too well. But there was no viable treatment back then, so Ben suffered great pain when he grew old.
@schizoidboy
@schizoidboy 4 года назад
I don't think we have anyone today who can compare with Franklin. He was a self-made man, a polymath, and a statesman who if something didn't exist he created it. Moreover, he was someone who proved the value of wisdom and hardwork. I don't see any celebrities doing much more these days than saying stupid things and trying to seem avant garde.

There is no modern version of Ben Franklin. He invented many things for the pure joy of doing it. Today's great inventors make one thing, cash in and then focus on their business and making money - Sergei Brin, Bill Gates, Elon Musk.

If you've read or listened to his autobiography, you'll also realize how humble and self-aware the man was. He would admit his moments of vanity and would place the majoirty of his efforts on being a decent person. Because of his hard childhood and arriving at philadelphia with nothing, he came off as a really down to earth man.

Thanks for all the info and the excellent research! Was he actually mentioning germs back in the 18th century as the origin of diseases? Isn't Pasteur credited for that a hundred years later? I know of a couple of works by Mozart written for glass harmonica, but none by Beethoven (they were not really contemporaries.) Much later, though, Donizetti scored the Mad Scene of his opera 'Lucia di Lammermoor for glass harmonica to depict the character's lunacy, but nowadays it is unfortunately replaced by a flute.
