the Renaissance tradition? What does that mean for you?

This brings us full-circle to an interesting proposition. If the Renaissance-like people of today could join together and share ideas, where would they do it? Where would they even be able to contact each other? What if there were such a place?

Well there is and it’s called polideopitic. Let’s break that word down. It’s all taken from the Greek – Poli or Poly, me

The first thing in the morning, you get up and grab your notepad. Then you begin to write copious notes about everything you’ve dreamed about the previous night. It may be ideas for a novel, invention, trip, musical composition, or recipe. Whatever it is, it’s ground-breaking and forward thinking. Okay, perhaps that’s not what you do. But you may have other talents. You might be drawn to anthropology, physics, or astronomy. Your mathematical prowess may be evident in the way you approach every problem. Or you could be passionate about the arts, be it drama, painting, or music. There is one thing for sure; you’re different and you can recognize the difference.

You were born that way. From early on, you had a variety of interests. It might have been art where you drove your mother crazy by finger painting on the walls. Or you decided to dissect a dead bird just to see inside. For what ever reason, your curiosity haunted your life, sometimes causing embarrassment or concern on behalf of your parents. This isn’t to elude to a budding prodigy or genius along the ranks of Newton or Einstein, per se. Rather, it put you in another category of the “jack-of-all-trades” moniker of Benjamin Franklin.

But, you did like to form clay busts of your relatives and your mother used to call you her “young Michelangelo.” So you read up on the Renaissance artist and beamed with pride at the comparison. Or, because you spend hours looking through your $20 telescope, she would say, “Alright, Mr. Galileo, it’s time for bed.” Either way, the implication was clear. You were on you way to the “road less traveled,” according to the late Robert Frost, poet and philosopher. So what if that is true? What if you are a person of the Renaissance tradition? What does that mean for you?

This brings us full-circle to an interesting proposition. If the Renaissance-like people of today could join together and share ideas, where would they do it? Where would they even be able to contact each other? What if there were such a place?

the Renaissance tradition? What does that mean for you?

This brings us full-circle to an interesting proposition. If the Renaissance-like people of today could join together and share ideas, where would they do it? Where would they even be able to contact each other? What if there were such a place?

Well there is and it’s called polideopitic. Let’s break that word down. It’s all taken from the Greek – Poli or Poly, meaning “many.” Ideo, meaning “idea.” Opti, meaning “to see.” Therefore, the ability to see many ideas, hence, Polideoptic. Get it? So who is Polideoptic? Renaissance men and women, of course! So what makes one Renaissance-like? It has to do with their abilities in the arts and science.

In general, they should be interested in a variety of areas ranging from the personal and domestic to the abstract and controversial. By reading a diversity of the classics and contemporary writings, they would have formed a foundation for going into many different directions. So, who might qualify in today’s world, you might ask? Did you think of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, or even Stephen Hawking? Well, they are brilliant, but not very well-rounded. Actually, the late Walt Disney was closer to the mold. You can see it’s fairly difficult to join this exclusive club, although the member doesn’t have to be famous or particularly wealthy.

So where do you fit in? It depends. because Renaissance people often make a difference. Also, it would be interesting to get a group of them together and have them share ideas. To that end, nominate someone who you feel meets these qualifications and email them to me in response to this article. If they agree, I’ll post them on my website www.polideoptic.com that will tell the web-world about their achievements and see if they can receive the acknowledgement they deserve. You can also put up your own profile if you feel like it and become polideoptic yourself. And you don’t have to paint a single ceiling while lying on your back for three years.
