"Its obviously a funny quote but I kind of get where Da Vinci was coming from. He was brilliant enough to master like XX different disciplines. If youre THAT capable maybe you look at an impact like the one Da Vinci had during his life and find it to be a failure. I mean today we remember Da Vinci primarily because of (1) the Mona Lisa and (2) the inventions in his notebooks but you have to remember that his notebooks werent published until after his death and the Mona Lisa wasnt nearly as renowned as it is now until after it was stolen from the Louvre in 1911. He spent a lot of his life"

"Venice had a network of spies and diplomats in every court of Europe. Upon their return they were required to deliver reports to the Venetian Senate. These reports were so invaluable for understanding the state of the world that they were often smuggled out and sold to rich clients for a high price. Many survive to this day and they have been compiled into historical volumes that make for extremely interesting reading and are some of the most important sources for the history of the 1500s and 1600s. But most have never been translated into English. AI is finally getting good enough to"
