Word of the day

Today's word is DEMIURGE.

Demiurge [DEM-ee-erj] noun: one that is an autonomous creative force or decisive power

Example:
The powerfully talented singer-producer has been described by at least one magazine editor as a "demiurge".

Did you know?
In the Platonic school of philosophy, the Demiurge is a deity who fashions the physical world in the light of eternal ideas. In the Timaeus, Plato credits the Demiurge with taking preexisting materials of chaos and arranging them in accordance with the models of eternal forms. Nowadays the word "demiurge" can refer to the individual or group chiefly responsible for a creative idea, as in "the demiurge behind the new hit TV show." "Demiurge" derives via Late Latin from Greek "dēmiourgos," meaning "artisan" or "one with special skill." The "demi-" part of the word comes from the Greek noun "dēmos," meaning "people"; the second part comes from the word for worker, "ergon."

Don't really like this word, it sounds a bit complicated to me. Maybe a different or better definition would change my mind or if someone might explain it better. Oh well, I spent most of the day inside, didn't even go for a walk today. I did laundry and had a Dexter marathon, love that show! Gotta make my bed so I can climb into some nice clean sheets. Hope y'all had a great weekend and have a great night.
