Mad men to be taken care of over time? Time is the issue and people with the power are regular people and regular people give them the power.
“Tesla always knew he would triumph. In his own words, regarding tycoons such as J.P. Morgan:
I am unwilling to accord to some small-minded and jealous individuals the satisfaction of having thwarted my efforts. These men are to me nothing more than microbes of a nasty disease. My project was retarded by laws of nature. The world was not prepared for it. It was too far ahead of time, but the same laws will prevail in the end and make it a triumphal success.”

― Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War
Point is Time will take care of mad men but how many more mad men do we need until people learn what is right and wrong? One must not “Put the cart before the horse” just like one must not release things when people are not ready or the things that they feel will free them will come back to oppress them. We both agree the info should be out but I say people should be ready or else it will hurt them, but you say it will free them.
Well just like fine arms all the inventors felt it would end wars if they made a deadly weapon to make people feel disgusted by war or would feel a mutual destruction with weapons that took out Nagasaki and Hiroshima. People say the right to bear arms was to protect people against oppressive government, but when the government has the money and power to make better weapons, not even the best legal fire arm can take town a tank. So many have died for no reason, and so many people give birth to one nation’s detriment. The solution to it all was never more food, more space, more technology, more or less government.
The solution I feel is truth for people to know what it is and be ready for it. You feel technology will solve everything.
Here is a quote from C.S. Lewis (author of the Narnia novels, and friend of JRR Tokin
“No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting against it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness — they have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means — the only complete realist.” C.S. Lewis tried to make LOTR Author JRR Tokin into an atheists like him but backfired, which is why you see his stories are at the core faith based, but like Tesla's inventions and actions are faith based.
Everyone has to be a realist to have technology “help” them; technology can not help people be realists, or else it can distract them from what is right and wrong just like how many scientists now are Godless and care for their own ambitions and not care at what costs, since their God is technology, and blind people in charge can do more harm than good.
As you said “Wouldn't it give you peace of mind to understand how it all works” Yes which is why I say to not put the “Put the cart before the horse” or else we can not go far. People should keep looking for truth just like Tesla as he said that he could have not done anything of his invention without his faith which he emphasized. While scientists that did not put faith first help make atom bomb and then say oops.
Still don’t agree? I won’t name names but people that have the view of “an eye for an eye” will never fine peace just like how nations that follow it always have strife, and technology will only arm them even more. Others that have other false faiths become deceived and give them more problems of over populations to the point it hurts everyone. And others with no faith well we covered then with how some scientists think which nations like that also have issues. Nations were kittens now they have claws with technology, and more technology will just give them longer claws.
Again I feel technology can "assist" but is not the "main solution", since the main solution has to be at the center of it all, and the only thing that seems to fit at the center is the truth, so anything else will just delay as it has delayed for thousands of years to have true peace.
Again I am not discouraging people to not find free energy I am just saying that is is the the "solution" to all the problems since I gave some examples how it can backfire for us to be back to where we started. Even the printing press, radio, tv, internet, etc was to help people be free and be informed to free people but it seems people are more oppressed and distracted by the technology that they felt would free them. Most people addicted to pop music on radio, American idols or sports etc on tv, facebook or pron on internet, and then people forget what they were intended for since where are the realists?
