>>13484886>isn't he the posterboy for people romanticizing history, if anything he is over appreciatedNo that's Thomas Edison, the man who never used a scientific method to discover or invent anything. But to be fair Nikola Tesla didn't do that as well you're right. One had more charisma than the other which is why one is appreciated more.
>>13484995>>13485013Then he should have taken his battery car to GE instead, they could have ripped off millions of more people while also having the ability to actually set up more infrastructure to drive their coal powered cars. Or even to GM so that his manufacturing method wouldn't be pants-on-head retarded.
But no he wanted a shot and being his own self made con-artist. Propane brush burner "flamethrowers" should have been your first redflag along with the 5 billion in subsidies to produce auto-igniting cars and boomer sci-fi fantasy upright rocket blast offs.
>>13485054>hurr he got put down by some greedy old rich menYeah, that was Edison himself. Learn your history. It's almost like one was hated and the other was like for a reason.
>>13484262Because he didn't create a global conspiracy involving lightbulb manufacturing companies to aid in the planned obsolescence of particular products he sold. Americans love business men, getting ripped off and taken for a ride. Why do you think the car salesman is a popularized caricature here? Why do you think we produce the most charismatic crackpot scientists with no basis in reality that profess mental abstractions as proof?
We don't like we reality. We like fantasy. We even prefer to watch a nigger shoot hoops and pass balls around rather than do it ourselves.
