Dude played a pivotal role in the creation of the United States. So his vision of America was ultimately impossible due to the industrial revolution. That doesn't make him overrated.

King Tut
Abraham Lincoln
Albert Einstein

t.Sima Yi

lately Tesla

No he didn't invent AC. He came up with some creative ways to use it but polarity is a thing that no one invented.

Buh buh buh buh muh Tesla coil. No, again he utilized electro magnets in some creative ways but he didn't discover the fact that wrapping wire around a magnetic core made a magnet. That was discovered by accident when people were checking continuity in coils of wire by who knows who.

Hipsters worship him because they have been mislead into thinking he invented some science fiction shit and Edison suppressed it from him.

Edison did cuck him, and is over rated as well. Doesn't make Tesla worship worthy.

There are many Buddhas. Buddha is a title for one that has reached nirvana. I'm surprised many people in the US think it's all one enlightened entity.
