He lit up the world—or so he claimed. But what if Edison wasn’t the genius we were taught to worship?
In this episode of The House of Syx, we take a hard look at Thomas Edison, America’s so-called wizard. We’re not here to deny his impact—we’re here to question the methods. From patent theft to public smear campaigns, electrocuted animals to studio raids, Edison’s legacy was carefully constructed—and ruthlessly defended.
We’ll break down the real stories behind the myth, explore his rivalry with Tesla and Westinghouse, and show how Edison shaped the modern world... while crushing his competition one wire at a time.
Chapters Include:
– Let’s Go Back: The Gilded Age and the power race
– Edison’s timeline: grifts, gadgets, and PR warfare
– Cultural impact: Why the myth still sells
– Legacy: What he left behind—and what he stole
