Updated: Here's an explanation since there were some question marks. The following is the Wikipedia entry on the Renaissance:-
The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life in the early modern period. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence was felt in literature, philosophy, art, music, politics, science, religion, and other aspects of intellectual inquiry. Renaissance scholars employed the humanist method in study, and searched for realism and human emotion in art
Steemit is quite like the Renaissance for the new age as it empowers everyone to experience and continue pursuing self-actualization in a virtual, hyper-connected space. On Steemit, we're all at the forefront of resource distribution with our everyday votes and discussions. It's like we're always gathered in the town hall, sometimes arguing and even knocking heads (mostly to protect the network). That's healthy because differences are being worked out, and at least it's not like we're in physical space beating each other up like Taiwanese politicians lol.
It's all very entertaining to me, and beautiful too.
