So there is an exhibit in town about Leonardo Da Vinci. His feats and accomplishments are extensive and amazing. I got to wondering though, why dont we have any geniuses like Leo in today's New Renaissance? The answer is, is that we do! Leonardo's Renaissance was an era of self-aggrandizement and he was the one genius of the Renaissance who devoted his work not simply for his self benefit. He was the lone genius that gained the such high amounts of accreditation among other world genius throughout history.
Today we have billions of more people than there were in the first renaissance and our minds have changed so that we are focused more on the benefit of everyone, rather than ones self. Hence we have many more geniuses so not just one genius gains all the credit and glory bestowed by mankind. So we do have super Leos of our own time, just that we have more than one, is the reason that we dont have any as prominent as
Leonardo da Vinci.
