Do you think Nicola Tesla was overhyped the few last years?

Yeah he kinda is. He was a genius and ivershadowrd by Edison and Marconi and it fiy caught up. At this stage though it's turned into dick riding a mythical caricature of the actual man.

@MethDozer Right, my point. Everyone knows he's the genius that got ignored while Edison who was a partial fraud got credit and it's basically just new mythmaking. Dude was impressive and cool but it's not like the name is unknown at this point.

@CountScrofula exactly. Like he was the only unsung genius in history.

He's just sorta become the name drop for people to virtue signal how much they just "loooove science".
