Painting x Midjourney "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety". Benjamin Franklin, November 11, 1755 I chose to create Robo-Franklin for this series, because his experiments with electricity and development of the Single-Fluid Theory fundamentally reshaped the scientific understanding of electricity. He turned electricity from a parlor trick into a rigorous science and without that (and many of his other contributions to the world) we would not have most modern technology.
