A musician, anatomist who disected more than 30 human corpses and recorded his findings, a military weapon inventor, architect,sculptor,engineer and many more.

Before Mona Lisa was painted Renaisance artists, had no idea about "The Sfumato" a drawing technqiue invented by Davinci,often called " painting without lines in a manner of smoke" Instead of painting sharp lines to separate the background from the subject, the chin from the neck or the eye from the face, It uses a soft, hazy and gradual blending to transition. even though people were amazed by the Mona Lisa durin…

However Seinfeld, didn't have a secret double life to make people laugh or being chased by polices for comedy. Seinfeld had an episode were George Costanza tries to get a cheap massage or jerry trying to figure out whether the girl he was dating was once in commercial. They were minor frustrations that happen through life. The audience loved the series around when it came out In fact it pulled in over 30 million vi…

The first reason being "The Seinfeld Effect" Seinfeld is a 1989 sitcom. Before Seinfeld, sitcoms believed that to keep an audience interested for 30 minutes, the characters needed to be facing a " do or die" situation(in a comedic sense) like doing all sorts of things, a try hard to make people laugh. The plot had to be a problem that could actually disrupt their lives. For instance, a male character pretending to …

But what makes the Mona Lisa that special? Even though looks are subjective, she isn't as gorgeous as the books that were written, the songs that were made about how beautiful she is. We often encounter "She looks like Mona Lisa " in movies,books and songs. It became sort of like a compliment, a standard on how a woman should look like. There are far more impressive paintings than the Mona Lisa. If its about Te…

6/6 "You've used the word 'monkey' more than 50 times, but the same principle hardly applies. Humans have been to the moon. Let's see the monkeys do that." It doesn't matter. It's just an issue of degree. There's a reason why legendary monkeytician Charles Darwin and his assistant, Jeje (pronounced "heyhey") Santiago deduced that humans and chimps were evolutionary cousins. As sophisticated as we are (compare our…

5/6 "So I'm supposed to suddenly start worrying about six billion strangers? That's not even possible!" That's right, it isn't possible. That's the point. What is hard to understand is that it's also impossible for them to care about you. That's why they don't mind stealing your stereo or vandalizing your house or cutting your wages or raising your taxes or bombing your office building or choking your computer wit…

4/6 "Why should I feel bad for them? I don't even know those people!" Exactly. This is so ingrained that to even suggest you should feel their deaths as deeply as that of your best friend sounds a little ridiculous. We are hard-wired to have a drastic double standard for the people inside our Monkeysphere versus the 99.999% of the world's population who are on the outside. Think about this the next time you get re…

3/6 Those who exist outside that core group of a few dozen people are not people to us. They're sort of one-dimensional bit characters. Remember the first time, as a kid, you met one of your school teachers outside the classroom?
