anything that credits a single person for any modern development
So Gore didn’t invent the internet??
He laid the series of tubes down
It's what movies have brainwashed us to think what a hero would do to save the world instead of giving credit to the collective.
Do you have any specific examples?
This exact news article is one, but I suppose that doesn't count.
It doesn't count because the article doesn't show what OP is claiming.
sure Edison, did almost nothing himself, is still erroneously praised as "inventor of the light bulb" and other shit
I don't think Edison is a fair comparison, but okay.
while you may not like the example, the truth is a lot of these types of things required organizations and teams to develop (modern word for invent, because I have had interactions with people that illiterate), but that doesn't fit in the popular narrative of the genius inventor who through hard work and determination made the world better and got rich for it.
It's not that I like the example or not. It's just that we're talking about a world famous dick vs. a 14-year-old kid who's probably well-intentioned.
