he was a thinker, but he was actually a shit scientist. None of his ideas actually worked and he barely had a grasp on the concepts he was playing with.
at best he was a very imaginative man with some painting skills
a genius, I'm not so sure

Isaac Newton is Da Vinci tier and about 200 years his contemporary.
Eistein was probably our most well known recent genius, but maybe not quite Newton or Da Vinci tier. His ideas did shape science for most of the last century though.

Mussolini
Winston Churchill: "What a man! I have lost my heart!... Fascism has rendered a service to the entire world... If I were Italian, I am sure I would have been with you entirely from the beginning of your victorious struggle against the bestial appetites and passion of Leninism."
Thomas Edison: "The greatest genius of the modern age."
Book dedication from Freud: "To Benito Mussolini, from an old man who greets in the ruler, the Hero of Culture."
Mahatma Gandhi: "Unfortunately, I am no superman like Mussolini."
Leon Trotsky: "[Mussolini] was the only man who could have brought about the revolution of the proletariat in Italy."
Georges Sorel: "[Mussolin is] a man no less extraordinary than Lenin . . . of a greater reach than all the statesmen of the day . . . not a socialist from the bourgeoisie; he never believed in parliamentary socialism."
Vladimir Lenin: "What a waste that we lost Mussolini. He is a first-rate man who would have led our party to power in Italy."
Juan PerĂłn: "Mussolini was the greatest man of our century, but he committed certain disasterous errors. I, who have the advantage of his precedent before me, shall follow in his footsteps but also avoid his errors."
Ronald Reagan: "Fascism was really the basis for the New Deal. It was Mussolini's success in Italy, with his government-directed economy, that led the early New Dealers to say "But Mussolini keeps the trains running on time." "
FDR: "There seems to be no question that [Mussolini] is really interested in what we are doing and I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished and by his evidenced honest purpose of restoring Italy."
FDR: "I don't mind telling you in confidence that I am keeping in fairly close touch with that admirable Italian gentleman."
Like alive today? Hard to say because our society venerates athletes and musicians, not geniuses. And most of our innovation has been in the tech fields, where efforts are collaborative. The days of the mad scientist, tucked away alone in a lab are coming to a close, if not gone completely. The last "solo" genius I can think of would be Tesla. Ted Kaczinski was a literary/social/political genius to be sure.
But I dont think astute observations are what OP is looking for.
Da Vinci is the only one. He is the only legendary citizen to that level. No one else has ever or will ever be Da Vinci tier.

A true genius doesn't just know a lot of things, he creates NEW things/knowledge. Most bargain bin geniuses have a lot of head knowledge but never contribute anything significant to the advancement of humanity.
The closest in our lifetimes is Elon Musk, and he's brute forcing his way there.
>>76215083

I believe he created a clock from his imagination but left this country because it's so racist.
Forgot his name though
Nicola Tesla
Hawking is ok but not Tesla tier.
Einstein is overrated
The biggest one before Tesla was Newton
>>76215680
Those are the only two that came to my mind too. I wanted to include Bobby Fischer, because of his being turbo redpilled, but I don't think he covers enough bases in the same way Ted Kaczinski does. Other than Tesla though (as far as actual inventions and such goes) I can't think of anyone since. It's pretty sad to think how wasted he was purely because of greedy Jews and invention thief Thomas Edison. It wasn't that Tesla was born at the wrong time (depending on how much things change in the future) he was born in the complete wrong universe. If you genuinely want to help people purely for the greater good, you have absolutely no chance when your backers are Jews. I think that's part of the reason I'm glad Starlite died with its inventor. You can see how mad the Jews are about it still now, there's numerous videos, information, and tests by NASA that proves how well it works, yet if you look it up it's always "claimed it could do X". Calling it a claim is like "claiming" fire is hot, water is wet or grass is green.
Stay mad you hook nose kikes, it's a surprise that with those big chess club brains of yours you've never actually invented anything yourselves.

>Who was our last Leonardo Da Vinci?
You'll never have a genius like this again because it's no longer possible to be a jack of all trades in sciences. You have to specialize most of your life to be able to make small breakthroughs now. It's just not humanly possible to encompass novel discoveries in multiple fields.
However, if you wanted to be a genius /on the same level/ as DaVinci, it's never been easier. ~90th percentile people can replicate his skills and far surpass his knowledge pretty easily.
That's the tradeoff.
All the geniuses of old were a product of their time.

It sounds like a justification to a laziness.
