Why we should study the Renaissance as a blueprint for tomorrow
In short: The Renaissance is often viewed as a static era of past achievements. This video argues that its true value lies in its utility, offering lessons on how to actively improve our collective future.
Rather than studying the Renaissance for its own sake, the content suggests it serves as a practical guide for modern progress. Produced in collaboration with Mike Booth, the presentation frames historical study as a tool for shaping what comes next.
The core idea is that understanding this period provides specific insights into how humanity can improve the world today.
