Tesla is an e-hero, and by that I mean people on the internet tend to overexaggerate the things he did, attribute to him things of questionable legitimacy and generally romanticize him to a rather alarming degree. It's easy to lose track of what is fact and what is fiction, especially when people stat making him out to be the greatest genius in human history.
Tesla is better
This. Tesla was freakin' ridiculously smart.
Read this comic that pretty much sums up Tesla's achievements
Dude was like the love child of Data and a Mentat or something. He even built a friggin earthquake machine creating tele-geodynamics from frequency and resonance research. Dude could shatter steel with frequency in the late 1800's early 1900's...good lord this man was brilliant to a scary level. Absolutley ridiculous how many things this man figured out on his own and how little he actually got from any of it.
I love Tesla so much I would tell him with lasers from my eyes, but that comic needed an editor so badly it hurts. Fucking annoying.
Tesla was a pretty poor scientist all things considered. An electrical engineering genius, sure, but he thought Einstein was poop (thought to be fair everyone did) and believed in the existence of the luminous aether.
Also, masterful title, Oblivion.
Tide goes in, tide goes out, never a miscommunication

What do y'all think about them fancy scienticians now gaf? Bububu anthropogenic global warming, bububu evolution!!
Stuff like this is exactly why I don't get why these latte sipping eggheads at M.I.T. and Cal Tech are held in such high esteem. Stop taking these people's advice as gospel and start thinking for yourselves!
OP was obvioys sarcasm. some people need to re-tune their meters.
Sarcasm is difficult to detect in writing. Especially if you don't know the person writing it. So its not really "obvious" that the OP was being sarcastic because people do exist with that viewpoint... unless you too are being sarcastic?

Are we now going to start downplaying Tesla? This thread has definitely taken a turn for the worse. The man was always an engineer first and would often see things fully complete in his head, and then from there he'd attempt to build it.Yep.
Tesla... wasn't all... there in the head.

You lack a clear understanding of how satire works
