Of course, much like many other eccentric giga-geniuses and diabolical masterminds, Tesla was also completely insane. He was prone to nervous breakdowns, claimed to receive weird visions in the middle of the night, spoke to pigeons (as mentioned earlier in this thread), and occasionally thought he was receiving electromagnetic signals from extraterrestrials on Mars. He was also obsessive-compulsive and hated round objects, human hair, jewelry, and anything that wasn't divisible by three. He was also asexual and celibate for his entire life.

Intelligence is coupled completely with the likes of insanity, most of the time. If Tesla was into his fields for publicity’s sake, he’d be a millionaire of his time and have at least ten times more scripture in high school/college text books in comparison to Edison.

I leave you with that, gentlemen.

There is actually a lot of research into this (cognitive neuroscience). All scientific evidence points in the direction that consciousness is merely a well conserved evolutionary adaptation. It seems that consciousness arises entirely from biochemical processes in the brain. "Me" and "I" do not exist in any metaphysical sense; just the temporary arrangement of molecules.
