Sometime in the last generation Renaissance Man passed away. Also known as Polymath, he lived for almost 2,400 years. The cause of death was apathy and specialization.
He was the child of Reason and Knowledge. His greatest achievement was ethical egoism.
His illegitimate children Specialized Man, Minimum Man, and Social Networker survive him.
Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and a long list of polymath relatives predeceased him.
His passing was not noticed and there will be no funeral. Everyone is too busy texting, tweeting, and face-booking.
