The Seven Da Vincian Principles

[@21Pitti]

Thanks you so much!

No I'm sorry. Da Vinci got his big ideas from Verocchio's artistic instruction and from a detailed reading of Aristotle and Plato. This speaker understands neither one nor the other, and I'm going to prove this, simply and clearly with an Aristotelian analysis of her speech. Her assumptions are ;
1) 'Da Vinci was a genius', and
2) 'Anyone who succeeds only succeeds by the Laws of Attraction', so,
her conclusion is,
3) 'Da Vinci must have been operating according to the Laws of Attraction'.
But she doesn't prove that 2) is true, so 3) doesn't follow.
Having studied Da Vinci's process of painting and his mathematical and scientific method, I never once got the sense he was thinking about quantum physics. Sorry. No.
Quantum physicists often say how much they can relate quantum physics to Eastern philosophies. Not Da Vinci. Of the hundreds of scholars who studied Da Vinci's science and art over hundreds of years, none of them ever guessed there was anything like quantum physics. Or the Laws of Attraction.
What explains his thinking most clearly was his application of Aristotle to practical challenges.
The speaker is describing the Laws of Attraction in terms of completely unrelated fields, to borrow their plumes and add an air of authority to the Laws of Attraction which... I don't see a lot of evidence she has a specialist understanding of one or the other. Da Vinci himself never listed these principles like seven commandments. And as they are listed, they don't provide a useful summary of what he did, or how he did it. Quantum physics is lots of hard math, rigorous scientific method and it works. You can't shortcut through it with new age spirituality. Agreeing with the Laws of Attraction doesn't qualify you as a quantum physicist. Or an inventor. Or a Renaissance artist.
Arguing,
"Quantum physics is true, and Da Vinci was wise, therefore Da Vinci understood the principles of quantum physics"
is neither scientific, nor logical, nor wise.
It has neither proof, nor principle, nor purpose.
It would be really, really useful to those of us who really are trying to study Da Vinci's actual methods, that we didn't have to wade through ten tons of conspiracy theory and new age. If you're really looking for wisdom and happiness, why not study Aristotle instead? That's what really comes through in Da Vinci's thinking.
