"Thrive" is amazing must watch!

[Tenet Nosce]

Maybe that's happening now. Ten years ago, not very many people had heard of Tesla. Now, it's much more common to see his name.

This is one of those examples which makes it difficult for me to not get my gears grinded when people poo-poo "conspiracy theories". Tesla was obviously an important personage and a brilliant man. If not for him, we might have electricity but no way to distribute it. So... why is it that every children's science book mentions Edison and the light bulb, mentions Franklin and his kite, but doesn't mention Tesla?

I mean, really, is this just to be taken as coincidence? An unfortunate oversight?

This is the kind of thing which got me into conspiracy theories in the first place. It was severely disturbing to me that I had made it all the way to second-year university physics and still... NOBODY had taught me about Tesla? Really?
