The locals gave Wilbur and Orville the nickname of "the two poor nuts”.

The 4-year path was brutal: Experimental gliders crashed. Calculations failed. Materials broke. Weather often didn’t cooperate. Locals watched from a distance, shaking their heads at these weirdos pretending to be birds and attempting suicide.

Wilbur hit rock bottom one day. He looked across to Orville and said: “Not in a thousand years will man fly”

The morning after making this statement, he was back sketching another new design.

And then one day on December 17, 1903… Wilbur and Orville were the first non-birds ever to fly.
Wilbur’s flight was the longest that day: 59 seconds covering 582 feet.
‍Wilbur was so high agency — he flew outside the quadrant of happening to life.

Last year, 5.58 billion passenger seats were flown on airplanes. And it all started from “two nuts” pretending to be birds on a beach.‍
Wilbur Wright might be the highest agency human ever to live.
