    People "with high openness to experience" hooked me! Wonderful explanation. To me a polymath is a lover of knowledge and knowledge can only be amassed through experience/practice.

    Thanks for sharing. Just took a strengths test and came up as a Polymath. Could not find a good explanation. It sounded more negative like somebody jumping from one thing to the next without settling. This makes more sense.

      ​@@jathebest2835she was asking the comment poster but strengths test would help sus out if youre better at one thing than another like rock climbing or swimming or counting versus writing

    I finally found who am I. I always love to learn and learn and learn and learn from the experience of others to. I just love to collect knowledge and learning from others! thank you so much for this wonderful explanation! you are the best! polymaths always do stay humble though and they don't like to brag. :)

    "... are unikely situated to intergrate..." That´s a perfect description of a very important skill according to polymaths. To see analogies between separate fields. For instance cooking and musik making, using abstract concepts as for example complexity or clarity

    I've been called a jack of trades my entire life and I've taught myself many skills that few in my circles know, out of need. So, maybe polymath might be an alright label? But I don't know If I'm bold enough to call myself that?

    we've rarely had any of such(akin to gauss, euler, newton, david hilbert, neumann, the bernoullis(?), poincare, lagrange, laplace, etc many more) since the industrian revolution, compartmentalization

      This is a common experience for many people when they first discover the word.
      Now step into it as fully as you can. Learn deeply and broadly, become as capable as possible. The world is scary, and polymathy is the best weapon in difficult and quickly changing times like those we live in now. Be able to pivot and adapt as the demands of the labor force shift because of artificial intelligence.
      Stay curious and stay capable. That’s what being a polymath is about.

    So I get it. A Renaissance man? Has nothing to do tho with math. Very confusing. 😮

    • @PolymathsPlace
      @PolymathsPlace  Před 5 měsíci

      Math is short for manthenein in Greek, which means “to learn.”
