Thank You for this Article on Thomas Edison. Recently, I've been learning more about him. We are really fortunate that Thomas Edison was a Good Man as well as an Ingenius Prolific Inventor. It's not enough to just Invent Awesome Technology, the Inventor himself should be a Non-Evil Person and should Not use the Technology to Harm Others. I know of Ingenius Inventors who are essentially Evil Geniuses who have used their Invention to wreak great destruction on humanity.

Yes moral and intellectual virtues are both important but sadly seem to be somewhat independent!
