COT: Where are all the Renaissance Men Today?
On this day May 22 1849 at the age of 40, Abe Lincoln’s was issued Patent No. 6,469. He was the only US President to be issued a patent. Lincoln’s patent relates to an invention to buoy and lift boats over shoals and obstructions in a river. Abraham Lincoln conceived the invention when on two occasions the boat on which he traveled got hung up on obstructions. Lincoln’s device was composed of large bellows attached to the sides of a boat that were expandable due to air chambers. Lincoln’s exposure to the patent system, as both an inventor and as a lawyer, engendered deep beliefs in its efficacy. Patent law in the United States has a constitutional foundation which is supported by the country’s founders, and was viewed as an indispensable engine for economic development. It led him to draft and deliver two lectures on the subject when he was president. Lincoln had an attraction to machinelike accessories all his life, which some say was hereditary and handed down to him from his father’s interest in labor-saving equipment. He made speeches on inventions before he became president. He said in 1858, Man is not the only animal who labors; but he is the only one who improves his workmanship.
Aside from Elon Musk and a few others, there do not appear to be very many Renaissance Men today pursuing – let alone excelling at – a variety of endeavors. Discussed the idea of specialization in college, the lack of hands on education in the trades (aka vocational ed), and staying in our career / professional lanes as we age.
