I have always felt like Da Vinci was connected to something that was incomprehensible for most people. Of course he was a genius but that’s not what I mean...
He had a connected to something existential- something indescrible..much like Tesla.
They both had a way with seeing through the fog of reality and using it to bend and shape the world around them. This was a nice piece to read this morning- especially the bits about his early ideas/inventions.
I have to agree with you @theessential. Although I must admit that I do not know a lot about Tesla, the little I do know is summarized in your reply. Sometimes I think that there isn't really any "new" or "novel" ideas. Everything that will still be "discovered" as already existed in some way or form. Da Vinci (and Tesla) were somehow connected to this "finite, universal intelligence" which isn't limited by time.
You state it really well when you say that "They both had a way with seeing through the fog of reality and using it to bend and shape the world around them".
Hope I'm making sense!
@rionpistorius
Yeah it absolutely makes sense. We’re dealing with topics that are a little hard to put into words. They are more than a feeling- Descartes was another person who could truly “See”. He was a philosopher- check out his Discourse on method for conducting reasoning well- or something like that. Super good read!!
