yea well, combining all those overhyped documentaries that promoted ayylium and anti-government shit in early 2000s by "History" channel and a lot of pseudo intellectuals that read few lines about how Edison fucked over Tesla and jerking off to their Mensa score little placards or what have you.
Listen, I might be a little extreme in showing this opinion but I think Tesla, and all these "super duper ultra" geniuses like Newton and such that didn't reproduce but were just autists with massive egos, they're all just losers.
Think about it, you dedicate your whole life, your brain power, you push your body to limits of your mental capacities, and for what? What is your legacy?
<"The scientists biggest achievement is to have his last name written in a lowercase"
Yea? Oh big fucking achievement buddy.
<"Well, at least he put his name in history books, what have you done?"
If your biggest achievement is to have some kind of symbolic bastardized cookie cutter image of yourself used for political and societal propaganda few years ahead then be my fucking guest. Nobody knew Tesla and nobody fucking cared for his. Even his diaries give just a glimpse of who he really was. He was forgotten long fucking time ago.
<"well, he gave a lot of to progress of humanity"
So fucking what? What did he get in return? Some autists clapping their hands who think they're the next Tesla? Humanity is overrated.
Just a bit of an edgy rant there, but Tesla fanboys are worst and they give me bitter taste in my mouth whenever I try to study some actual shit. I won't even go to retell the story of that fucking snake oil merchant trying to sell their orthopedic body pillows that "have Tesla-like coils in them that help you get in tune with Schumann resonance" shit that I just question bashed him into silence.
