Walter Isaacson So sánh Leonardo Da Vinci với những thiên tài hiện đại

At 2:14, I’m surprised that CBS didn’t censor it.

He looks like if Sean Spicer and Mike Pence had a baby…

when he describes da vinci i think of like, frank ocean, grimes, tame impala, unknown mortal orchestra. i wonder what leonardo would be doing if he were alive today.

I will forever think of Da Vinci as the guy who played him in Hudson Hawk….. shaking his head and sighing when Mona Lisa smiles at him.

We all know his Jobs – DaVinci comparison is laughable. He's doing it for the book sales!!!

Tired of hearing silly things like "Steve Jobs was a genius". No he wasn't, not even close. Crowds of people are so easily bamboozled into creating stories they can worship.

I've only read one book by Isaacson  – about Steve Jobs, but I loved it. It's very easy to read and very interesting.

Who should start writing about Jacque fresco. If you don’t know who was Jacque fresco?!! You should check him out.

More intelligent guests like this please.

Was listing to this radio program a couple of weeks ago they had a university librarian on talking about how they where now starting projects to archive digital correspondence of the prominent scientist working there because that's how these conversations take place now and it will all be lost if they don't do something about it and historians and biographers etc of the future wont have all this correspondence available like the collections of letters they are using now.

Da Vinci and Trump are neck to neck

Steve Jobs was a man who ripped of the real genius Steve Woz and then build a company on overcharging and using unethical supply chain practices and then conning people into buying stupid shit. Leonardo d Vince was basically renaissance rolled into one man

Da Vinci's combination of talent, drive, an outcast history, flamboyance, fame, and being friends with goddamn everyone…

Sounds to me like the strongest comparison to Da Vinci in the modern day would've been Freddie Mercury.

Walter has great passion when talking about Da Vinci the book must be a great read.

More interesting than most.

Above all, he was a very mysterious man, with his robots and palimpsets, but he also was a very keen chef, something not a lot of people know. He was a very modern man, hed love social media and the internet for sure, and particularly nude selfies.

Does anyone know what the intro music is called?

Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most under appreciated geniuses of his time. He was ridiculously intelligent and squarely fits in to the bracket of 'genius'. Its very possible that da Vinci is the most intelligent person to have ever lived but was simply held back by the times he lived in. Without a doubt, Leonardo should be the quintessential example of a genius, his thirst for knowledge is unparalleled.

Is it weird, that I know, let's just say the very basics of Da Vinci, just from playing Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Obviously I don't live under a rock and knew of him but AC did a pretty great job at lecturing while playing a video game.

Hey, I'm left handed & can write backwards, & paint & draw. LOL Leonardo is my idol.

no rug but karby

Yay, author! More authors please!

Geniuses,

Wasnt da vinci stealing from others?

I'm currently reading this wonderful bio, just riveting!

This was awesome! DaVinci is a really good subject for a modern biography and this author is so fascinated and enthusiastic 😀 So glad this was part of the show, because I can't wait to read this! Thank you ♥

On the spectrum? Dabbling in I see Stephen haha!

I thought it was Steve Martin

I must read that.

Colbert wishes he was like Leonardo

Leonardo Da Vinci was an inventor, painter, sculptor, architect, scientist, musician, mathematician, engineer, writer, geologist, botanist, astronomer, physician, cartographer, historian, palaentologist, ichnologist, and philosopher. Many of his designs and drawings for inventions were 400+ years ahead of his time. The guy knew his shit…
