All these 'geniuses' of the current age really make you wonder how many of the supposedly super intelligent innovators we learned about in school were just frauds taking credit for other people's achievements.

    He's the same shameless marketeer, but Edison, while a "brute-force" guy rather than actually being insightful or visionary, actually did more than just steal the ideas of others

    He definitely stole plenty of the shit he's credited with, but not everything like Elmo has
