Imagine a world where the greatest minds in history were forced to express their brilliance through micro‑content, curated reactions, and comment‑section debates.
What would it look like if the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution unfolded in the LinkedIn era?
🛫 Leonardo da Vinci
"Reimagined flight dynamics. New propeller concept based on spiral motion of air. Sketch attached."

💬 Steve Jobs comments: "The diagram seems crude and needs some polish."
🚀 Elon Musk comments: "You’ve stolen my idea. I’ll outcompete you."
🗿 Michelangelo supports it: "Beautiful lines, but could it be carved from marble?"
🧪 Isaac Newton reacts with curiosity: "Saved for later. Still investigating gravity."
👤 Anonymous commenter: "Fake. AI-generated."
Leonardo closes the app, sets down his stylus, and mutters:

The modern paradox of creation

The endless stream of finds this insightful, celebrates it, and supports it creates the illusion of engagement — a surface‑level chorus that masks the deeper silence of true understanding.
Real creators build cathedrals, not feeds.
