Evolution of Thoughts

By Chad Stroh

I don't believe in evolution of thoughts. Our thoughts are limiting themselves. Creativity was much more prevalant a thousand years ago than it it today. True progression takes creativity, not organization. Love and creativity will cure diseases, not an organized society.

Organization & Creativity

By Chad Stroh

An organized government pushes away creativity. Many people think that an optimized government is one based on organization. In this ideology, organization means progress. Creativity is a pre-requiste to progress. Organization limits creativity. This on of the greatest struggles of mankind. The more rules we have, the less we can do. The less we can do, the less we can think. The less we think, the less we are creative.

Leonardo Da Vinci

By Chad Stroh

Leonardo Da Vinci stepped across the boundaries that many people are afraid to cross. He spent hours upon hours fine tuning his skills and trying to understand the world. By the end of his life, he was considered a professional architect, anatomist, sculptor, engineer, inventor, mathematician, musician and painter.

No one knows for sure what sparked his immense curiousity in the world. one major factor is his apprenticship to Andrea del Verrocchio. Verrocchio stressed the importance of learning anatomy. Da Vinci was intrigued and studied many aspects of the human body. Many times he dissected dead human and animal bodies. He self taught himself incredible things like how the heart works.

Much like human anatomy, he was interested in machinary. He understood many dynamics of engineering and architecture. He desined buildings and sketched inventions. His ideas included an early helicopter and caluclator. He also self taught himself about plate tectonics and solar power.

As his sketches improved he shifted his interests to painting. He painted some of the most influential paintings known to date. This paintings include the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. All of his paintings have incredible detail and outstanding realism.

Leonardo Da Vinci is considered on of the most important people in human history. Today he still influences culture, media, politics, education and art.
