A problem resolves itself in proportion to the quality of its description.
Da Vinchi’s Art
0. Warning, confusing post ahead.
1. The artwork of Da Vinchi is not his pretty pictures.
The genious of Da Vinchi is an idea that there are things to be understood from nature that can be applied to other things.
For example:
We take a black box, which contains one amazing characteristic, which can be found in nature, e.g. the flight of birds, or shortly, flight.
Then we take an object, for example something easy to make (like a wooden stick) and apply the black-box characteristic to the object.
Hence, a flying machine is developed.
Here, we took a characteristic of a bird and applied this characteristic to wood.
It is the generalization that any characteristic of a natural object can be applied so that it becomes a characteristic of another natural object.
2. Examples of this have already been know in mathematics for a long time. For example:
What do we need to add to 1, so that that the result will have characteristics of the number 8.
Possible routes to solve this would be would be:
So, 1+x = even number
1+x = a number that can be evenly divisible by 4
And possible solutions would be: 7, in the first case; 15, in the second case.
In the same way, Da Vinchi came up with many possibilities of how the machine would be constructed.
The Paradox
We should all try to devalue the work we are doing and make more valuable the work we do.
Everything can be improved, customized, made easier to achieve.
Sheer Lazyness
Science
The most noble work is that that you will never do again.
Art
The most noble work is that that is never finished. Even after it is finished, people who see it should add to it by their own contemplation and interpretation.
–
I think there is too much art in science today.
Courage
If you have a good idea which you tell the world – and there is a crowd of a million people to ridicule you for it, maybe there will be one among them that will not only understand, but be be able to make the million others understand and appreciate the idea too.
So do not be afraid to stand for what you know is true.
Insanity
A girl gets payed to have sex with a stranger she doesn’t like.
Another girl doesn’t get payed for raising a family with a guy she loves.
A kid gets a good grade by reading over an assignment about a book and answering the questions.
Another kid gets a bad grade for wasting his time reading the book.
A doctor gets payed for remembering the name of his patient – who is now dead.
Another doctor is sued by a patient for performing CPR on him.
A president is payed for leading attack on a country successfully.
A soldier if fined because he went out drinking with a civilian.
Sad, how education is often the opposite of learning and money is opposite to value…
