[00:00:34]Vincent, a genius in the dust.

[00:00:55]Vincent was rejected not for being crazy but for overdoing understanding.

[00:01:14]Many of us think that in order to become immortal, we must stand on peaks during our lives. But history sometimes chooses its heroes from the ruins. The man who is lined up in the world's museums today for a slice of his imagination once did not even have the money to buy his colors. He was neither a king nor a warlord. He was just a man who saw the world beyond the imagination of others.

[00:02:34]Vincent lived in a house whose walls smelled of poverty and damp paint, while his brother Theo was his only emotional and financial refuge. Society considered him a lunatic who wasted his time scribbling worthless canvases. He created more than 2,000 works of art during his lifetime. But his share of all this brilliance was the sale of only one painting. Imagine 37 years of life, hundreds of masterpieces, and just a smile from a buyer.

[00:03:44]Why weren't Tesla, Van Gogh, or Touring understood in their time? Because they spoke a language whose alphabet had not yet been invented. Van Gogh saw stars not as bright spots, but as vortices of energy. He turned suffering into a beautiful painting. I would rather die of passion than of exhaustion, he said. And it was this passion that finally sent him into the arms of death in the midst of the wheat fields while the sun was still shining in the sky.

[00:04:39]Today, his brush prints shine on the walls of the most expensive galleries in Paris and New York. But here's the harsh truth. Our world has always been unkind to those who woke up ahead of time.

[00:04:53]Vincent died in poverty, but he left a legacy for humanity that cannot be traded for any wealth. The art of seeing beauty in the midst of pain.

[00:06:02]In your opinion, who are the people on our side today whose genius we overlook?

[00:06:08]Are we like Vincent's contemporaries, staring at the scars on the astronomer's hand instead of looking at the stars? In the following sections, we move on to others who changed the world but remained themselves in the shadows. Join us on this journey into the depths of history.

[00:06:41]Sometimes it gets very cruel when the criterion is just money and wealth.
