can you actually become a polymath?
>>
>>25594679
"polymath" and "renaissance man" are gay ass words that only retarded bugmen use
also not literature
>>
>>25594719
can you actually become well-versed in many different fields?

Yes. Many people have done it throughout history.

You're quite possibly illiterate.

If they actually retain or study the redundant shit at college most college graduates are polymaths, especially from a medieval standard. It's very easy to gain more knowledge in a specific field than 99% of the general population. The bar is low basically and it doesn't mean much.

polymath just means you're too retarded to breach the upper echelons of any given field or discipline so you settle for being mediocre in many things
>>

>just be useful to academia, goy, instead of being curious about everything

>>25594758
you are an insignificant bugman that, in 2026, saw a Xitter post from some smug AI psychosis faggot LARPing as genius
most of the subhumans got rid of the "polymath" obsession in 2016. you're eating stale trash that the other subhumans couldn't finish eating last decade.
you, despite pointing your finger, must have only learned to read in the past year considering your recent "polymath" obsession.

You want to be really good at one thing, then everything else can contribute to it (this is the requirement for actually contributing to culture - you have to concentrate your energies). Do we have examples of polymaths alive today? I think Nassim Taleb certainly qualifies even if his books have an airporty nonfiction feel (its impressive high verbal ability being good marketing while world class statistician)

Polymath is a specific tier of intelligence. Here's a handy video that explains the ten tiers in 20 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=150imMO1wK0

>>25594773
no, polymath means breaching the upper echelons of multiple disciplines

I can tell someone race just by looking at him.
Does it count or am I just another racist?

Buy some math textbooks should be able to teach yourself all kinds of different math.

>>25594679

I am secretly a polymath. I am smarter than everyone around me at every field, but I constantly pretend to be dumb. This is how I live.
>>
>>25594679
I am 10 years the process of trying to become a modern polymath and my conclusion so far is that it was a huge mistake in trying to do so without having rich parents first.

>>25594679
YES.

AI OR NOT,
I STUDIED THIS.
IT ENDS HAPPILY.
