do you know who Elon Musk is?

In my relatively short time on this earth, I've given much thought to, and been in awe of the absolute impact that just one person can have, not only his or her "own" world, but on the entire world for pretty much, eternity. Men like Howard Hughes immediately stand out. I mean, who hasn't read about Thomas Jefferson and his exploits? Deep, but It gets even deeper. I often think about my place amongst the greatest of men and women. These thoughts don't rest easy. Leon Batista Alberti, Hildegard of Bingen, Galileo, Abu Rayhan Biruni = all recognized Polymaths. In this tiny handful alone, lay a collection of some of the greatest achievements in History. EVER.

To even attempt to find some type of place in such a "pantheon" is to be deemed delusional, and preposterous. Therefore, I am JUST THAT, by definition of the world I happen to occupy.

The illest part? So were they...

So, to those of you who know me, and think that I'm crazy, please. Just let me dream my dreams, and reach for them until I separate my shoulders, and when I do, just help me put them back into place, as quickly as you can, because you know that I have absolutely NO CHOICE but to do it all over again, and again, until I die...

While I do that, you do this:

Find out who Elon Musk is. At 37, he is a living breathing Renaissance Man, and further confirmation to me, that one person truly can do anything he/she wants to, if they want to.
