I was fortunate to be born with a thirst for knowledge and zero fear to try new things and my parents taught me to do my very best. I was fortunate to fall in love with work and sports. My dad taught me a lot but I was never scared to ask someone to teach me something. I have a degree in economics, owned multiple trade businesses (general contractor, roofing, landscape contractor), dog trainer, carpenter, mason, fitness and diet expert, power lifter, fisherman, outdoorsman, Hunter, water skier, father of 5, biblical scholar, mentor, equipment operator, mechanic, teacher, cowboy, MTX rider, surfer, Quickbooks expert, free diver, captain, real estate investor… I’ve never actually written this out but I’ve lived one heck of a life at 46 I’ve accomplished a lot..
Hey man that’s great what made push this way? And how’d you go about it honestly showed me a lot of things that I’ve wanted to be and do and showed me it can all be done and it’s truly amazing congratulations and God bless!
@ as far as trades I got my first job working for a home builder and I never passed up and opportunity to stay late and help other trades. If I was done working and the electricians were still working I would offer to help for free. I worked a lot of weekends with other trades doing side jobs and learned anything I could. I found people with the skills I wanted and simply asked them questions and offered my labor for free to learn. Some people are jerks but over time I became better at finding out who was a master and became a better student so it got easier over time. But the most important skill is humility, I never pretended to know anything and genuinely appreciated their time. Networking is a skill and the right people appreciate a free set of hands, whether it’s pushing a broom or setting up tools people appreciate free help. Before the internet I relied on libraries but you can learn a lot from TH-cam if you have focus and dedication to learning something new. Whatever I wanted to learn I would get a base knowledge from reading and then seek out a mentor and ask them if I could shadow. Carpentry skills are useful to a lot of people so I traded work for fishing trips and opportunities to hunt. Having integrity and being a man of your word goes along way and the people who are masters at any craft are often more than willing to teach someone. Having a genuine interest in people and learning about their hobbies opens up a lot of opportunities.
Thank you for making this fine video and I would like to make some observations. A beautiful physique/health requires enough sleep for starters. You’re breaking this simple rule already by staying up late to record this video. A renaissance man practices consistency and discipline above all else. Good luck.
I just recently knew the term polymath lol. I was actually a polymath unaware. A musician (plays 5 instruments violin, lyre, flute, ukulele, guitar), a writer (I really hope that my written works will be published and can reach other ppl), a chef/baker (participated in several competitions), good at math (got the highest mark in our grade), an artist (I’m more into pastel painting and still finding my own art style hehe), an aspiring future food scientist xD. Of course there’s a lot of hindrance that I encounter (lack of time, negative comments etc.), but I will stand my ground and continue to pursue what I love!! Don’t let other’s opinion hold you back!! 💕
@@onyxphantom6762 be careful when people around you stop caring about you, I'm talking from experience, don't let your image affect your emotions and actions...
Wood sculptor, tattoo artist, arborist, classical sculptor, now I'm 40 and a year into my fine art degree, here in the UK it's looked down on for going through different careers, my older brother who is a successful business man seriously looks at me as some kind of misfit for this way of living. I'm happy to be different in this way but my only issue is I feel I'll never become highly skilled in one subject as I feel moving away from another with affect it. Ha its a funny old life :)
I'm learning 8 languages, currently in two bachelor programmes and three master programmes, I write and paint in my free time and exercise everyday. I wouldn't call myself a polymath though, because I haven't mastered anything of it yet and furthermore my majors are however mostly connected to computer science, sociology and economy. I wish I had more time for biology, chemistry or physics. I should work that into my schedule.
Polymath is an ideal no one will ever reach. I made this video a few years back and since then I've made some adjustments to my view. What's important here, is your attitude toward learning, not some grand achievement of finally ending up being some masterful genius. The important question, I guess, is to ask yourself: do you feel like you are enjoying everything you are learning? Are they connecting you to a deeper understanding of the universe and yourself? In terms of history, this is a Humanist attitude toward learning. It's about the learning itself, not the "thing" you will become after your journey toward being a learned person. It's not about learning more and more and more, or else you'll only end up a machine full of empty facts. My hats off to you; wow, three masters programs. But do ask yourself the questions, they're very important. Thank you for the comment. :)
Omg this is so me. I currently want to learn Mandarin, French, Arabic, Vietnamese, Spanish .... I’m so poly I don’t know which one to start on bc I know it’d be easier for me to learn just one at a time but the other half of me is saying learn 3 at once... it seems more satisfying
@@loveambsss shiny object syndrome, dont pull yourself in 4 different directions, youll be at step 1 of all of them or play favourites, and at that point you may as well do one by one. (not being a dick, I struggle with this too.)
I'm so relieved that there are more people like me. I'm surrounded by people very good at one thing. Their personality and life just revolves around their specialisation. Dull if you ask me
I can draw anatomically correct figures using both hands since I was 5. Now I am into acrylics, pastels and pencils as well as graphic design and 3D modeling/Architecture. I am also into sculpture, poetry and prose writing. I can speak Tagalog, English and some Japanese, Spanish and French (self taught). I have been playing guitar and bass, acting (theatre and film) singing (rock), hiphop dancing, and body building (though I have to admit my slight asian physique isn't much to look at). When I was younger, I played basketball and excelled in BMX freestyle tricks. I've won a handful of TV Quiz shows and bought a house with the money. Now, I spend most days looking after my tropical fish, cooking and keeping my day job as a shared services supervisor but I would not call myself a polymath at any rate. I think to be a true Uomo Universale, one does not just dabble, but excels masterfully in their chosen fields like the great Renaissance Men of old. People like me are known as Philomaths and we're a lot more common than these esteemed geniuses of Leonardo's caliber.
I think the different between polymath and jack of all trades is that polymath integrates wide range of subjects together and innovates new things while jack of all trades can do and learn many things as reductionist approach.
To be fair there is a difference between having lots of hobbies and being a polymath right? The latter actually makes meaningful progress in every direction, and hobbies just passes time in different ways
I'm a professional breakdancer (winning 24 competitions worldwide), have a degree in zoology( worked and lived with wolves), poet, author, photographer, videographer and editor(hence my TH-cam channel all self-made and edited), footballer, boxer, jujitsu practicioner(training out of 10th planet), adventurer(with the intent of traveling to every country), vanlifer( self converted my van into a camper and traveled throughout the United States) and marathon runner. In the near future I plan on learning 3 more languages, getting archeological certification, doing biking competitions, physique competitions, getting military experience, jungle survival skills, building a house, competing in shooting competitions, competing in fencing, training Muay thai, making a television series, act in movies, wingsuit flying, start a business, learn coding and create an app.
I don’t think the overwhelming number of commenters here are polymaths. They’re just people with diverse hobbies, passions and interests. Polymaths don’t exist anymore like they used to. The 21st century isn’t Renaissance Europe where people could sit around all day and study. No one has that time anymore, plus the markets have become specialized, which is why people study specific things and then get really good at them. I’d say scholars or perhaps even book collectors/enthusiasts are the real 21st century polymaths, but even that’s pushing it.

Man you were in the zone making this video. Beautifully described and translated just from using bullet points. Wise information, you’re intellectual. This video is a gem. Well crafted. We’re on to something.
@@Noname-rq1hr Back at the time of the renaissance man this was more feasible as there wasn't as much information. Now with the internet it's impossible to touch on all subjects but you can still dive into many different aspects of life and knowledge and find the interconnect was in everything.
It’s only impossible for those who say it is, back then you say there was less information but reality was still the same the things that fascinate us the same back then there would have been no master of all knowledge nor will there be one today being a polymath is something other than that I encourage you to reflect on that
Robert Greene's book Mastery also talks about pursuing your many interests and eventually finding ways to combine them into a life pursuit that's uniquely you.
What I find useful for learning from books are summary tools like Blinkist and Good Reads. Audiobooks can help too. If you do actually read a book: First, go over the key concepts: title, chapter titles, images if any, bold print, end of chapter summaries. If you still don't get it all, read the book in full. Usually, the key points are enough. There's a lot of filler. But if the filler helps you with the emotional links and the reasons for things, then read that in full. Emotion helps with why you should care. I'm a data compression guy, so I'm into summarising and getting the key points.
I mostly have to remind myself of this: It's always a good sign when I constantly have to rewind and relisten because of my mind going on a tangent. I'm at the 8:05 mark now, and I just realized I didn't listen to a single word after you talked about Da Vinci's physicality, which I didn't know about
Hey I just discovered your channel, I just wanna say thank you! Because I was always beating myself up over the fact that I have many different interests and I thought I was a "jack of all, master of none", but it's dope to see there's more of us out there so I'm not crazy after all, I just gotta deploy patience 🙏
Yes! found the person. I never really understand myself and its quiet a curse that almost everything interests me. Now i don't feel silly anymore cause i know i will meet more people like you. Thank you!
I’m a girly girl that is fascinated with the liberal arts, polymaths, royal families, Classic Greek pagan philosophers etc. but I’m struggling with how to relate that back down to earth besides getting into some sort of servile arts... or holistic healthcare/alternative medicine
I have also read Walter Isaacson's biography about Leonardo da Vinci. I would suggest another Davincian essential to becoming a polymath, which is to become super-observant of your surroundings. It leads to the development of comparisons and inquiry, which leads to changes in thinking. It worked for da Vinci in a time prior to the advent of the Scientific Method.
Man, I would give you a hug for such a concise and informative video. I feel like I am home. All my life, I thought I am crazy for doing a superset of "International Relations, Biology and Bicep Curls". I thought I am crazy and these innovative ideas that come to me, I didn't know why it happened. Now, I see it. I am a polymath. I don't want to be one, I am one. I think like this, to view one concept from different perspectives, depths, and width - Intellectually and experientially. My interests range from Anthropology, Defence Technology and Administrative Law. Any tips for me, dude? I am 22, fresh outta college. You seem to be young, how is it like being a polymath?

@@grv_agni Here is a real polymath! Just for fun, Window Pain! John von Neumann ( 1903 - 1957 ) Hungarian-American pure and applied mathematician, physicist, economist, engineer, and polyglot. He made contributions to almost every area of mathematics. Work includes, notable contributions to quantum mechanics, stochastic computing, economics, statistics, lattice theory, game theory, shock waves, hydrodynamics, von Neumann architecture, quantum statistical mechanics, operator algebras, linear programming, hydrogen and atomic bombs, and mutually assured destruction ( MAD ). He was an advisor to government and major industries. He had a phenomenal memory and could recall an entire page of a telephone directory at a glance, or pages of literature having heard it years before. As a polyglot he was fluent in French, German, Latin, Greek, Yiddish and English, in addition to his native Hungarian. As a prodigy, at the age of six, John von Neumann could divide two 8-digit numbers in his head! and was fluent in Ancient Greek! He had a degree in chemistry, was a biologist, and amateur historian. He was the greatest mathematician of the 20th century! And some people regard him as the most intelligent person who has ever lived!
To be honest, I have a large array of interests that I, personally, am kind of aware of. Currently, my interests in terms of expanding knowledge have to be creative writing, linguistics and conlanging (constructing languages), and cooking/baking. But I also thought about taking engineering (like patent inventions and architecture ), art (painting and drawing), mathematics, playing a musical instrument(s), biology, and other activities that I may/may not partake because of schedule. What I will do is to be committed to a healthy body and mind and just see where my true passions will go in the long run.

My favourite quote about meditation is, "I think everyone should meditate 20 minutes a day. Except really busy people. They should meditate 40 minutes a day." Though I usually see this as "...They should meditate an hour a day."
Extremely good video. These aspects are true and principles of being and in the unity of physical and metaphysical life. I have been perceiving these concepts on the path of personal evolution in the physical and metaphysical spheres, of life in all its aspects. 1 - Take care of the body (physical part) to be healthy (intelligent) mentally (metaphysical part). We should not separate or choose only one side, between the physical (tangible) and the metaphysical (intangible) worlds. 2 - Self-education. Decentralize the power of people, organizations and companies from access to knowledge. Take control of our lives, because knowledge liberates. Today, with the internet, it is easier for us. 3 - What he calls Meditation, I call consciousness and contemplation. The contemplation of the creation that we are and of the physical, tangible world that we see is the pure sample of prosperity in what was created, there are no blockages in the physical world, it is just perfect. The blockages came from us, imperfect beings in the physical world but in the metaphysical world, we are perfect because we are the image and likeness of the Creator. It is worth mentioning that I am not religious. 4 - Emptiness. It means focusing on the other being, whether human or not. It is eliminating egocentrism. When we focus on serving, instead of being served, we reap results in whatever we set out to do.
I just realized I'm naturally a polymath? I've always told people how i don't understand why anyone would want to only do one career or one thing in such a short life i find so many thing fascinating and worth learning about and once i have a good idea how something works i move on but i always felt bad that i never "completed" anything. I guess this is something to embrace.
Thank u for this sir. I never allowed myself to really truly think I could do it. Or say it out loud. Because being a polymath. Learning everything...it sounds so arrogant...but maybe I'm just making an excuse for myself
You can't learn everything, but you can know a little bit about many things, and a lot about some things. 😊 If you want to be a polymath in the traditional sense, then: 1. choose at least three academic areas you find fascinating 2. do what it takes to become an expert in them. Look at what top colleges do to teach those areas (you can find many useful materials from MIT and other colleges). Or, find experts in those fields and figure out how they got there, then do some of the things they did. 3. give yourself at least a few years to focus just on learning. As you do that, you'll get ideas for research topics and you'll be able to start contributing new knowledge. It's not arrogant to think you can learn a lot. Just make sure it's something you truly want. If yes, polymathy will bring you joy. If not, find what kind of life you truly want. There are many paths to a beautiful, joyful life. Figure out which one is yours and have the courage to follow it. ❤
hey, great video. about education and knowledge, i think true learning happens when we try something and fail then reflect. books are valuable in regards of being suddenly aware of a different world which we didn't know its existence but in order to realy understand that world, we need to make a concrete connection with our own experiences and our own life. if we can gamify something, consistantly make mistakes and learn from them, we can have fun and make progress.
Have you heard of or read The Sequences by Yudkowsky? I think you are absolutely one of the people who can take a lot from the very long and borad 'book'. Also Kudos for basically not needing cuts in your videos :)
I liked your video on the polymath and quite agree with all you said. I respectfully suggest you carefully read what the the following link will illuminate regarding the meaning of the word non-duality. I like how you listed thoughtful suggestions for the budding polymath and I certainly will view more of your publications here on youtube. Thank you so much, stay well and keep learning.
By nature (and the way I'm wired), I've always been somewhat of a Polymath..... so, starting at age 9 -- I've been a Percussionist, a bodybuilder, a golfer, a Pianist (see channel), and now a distance runner. I think if you "re-ivent" yourself constantly and constantly learn stuff, that's a path to Polymathy.
I fundamentally disagree that there is such a thing as a "modern polymath". The concept of polymath is bound to certain material and ideal conditions in history that aren't given anymore. Science and Liberal Arts have been differentiated too much to really get into detail in several disciplines. It's even too differentiated too much to become a master in even one subject. There aren't historians anymore, but ancient historians, medievalists, modern historians or even historians who are focused on history of technique, history of gender or something like that. There aren't sociologists, but there are sociologists of work, urban sociologists, gender sociologists, sociologists who focus on quantitative or qualitative research or on social theory. And this happens in all subjects. There are two ways to get close to something a bit similar to the polymaths of ancient times, renaissance or the 18th century, but it's totally not the same. First, you can know little about many things. So you could really get into several subjects and get into them on a broad scale. But by doing so you will never be as good in one of them as somebody who focused in his research. But this is far from the classical polymaths who really grasped the essence of several subjects in earlier times. I agree that it is still an interesting path, but it might be more than a bit tricky with the eye on your professional career. Second, you can find one or two phenomena you are interested in. Maybe it's something as labour, climate change, digitalisation, a special kind of literature, ancient rome or whatever. And then you do your research on these one or two phenomena in a very interdisciplinary way. To give an example as I'm very interested into work and labour topics: You could view labour out of a sociological perspective by getting into empirical research. You could learn about the formation of different kinds of labour by reading history literature or philosophical works, for example by Karl Marx, who wrote a lot about this, you could get into political sciences: How do trade unions act? You could read psychological literature: What is good work for the individual? How can work influence your psyche? You could exchange knowledge with engineers about new technological trends that influence how work is performed and so on, and so on. I think that this last one is what comes closest to a "modern polymath" and I think that it is a really useful approach. Because remember: The classical polymath was an aristocrat who didn't have to work (or they were at least paid by one for reasons of prestige). They had other sources of income. They didn't have to think about what they can give back to society which is in my eyes paradoxically why some of them actually gave so much back. Because they didn't have the risk of failing. We luckily live in different times, today. We have to combine the enjoyable with the useful. And this changes the paths from that we can choose.

Personally I think to claim one's self to be a polymath is the most pretentious thing one can do. Rather it's a title given to you, for instance Elon Musk would be considered a modern example of a polymath. Stay humble kids

Or all these things are just related to logical reasoning segment only so I couldnt call myself as polymath??
Polymaths arent polymaths because they try. In fact one could say that trying to be a polymath will drive someone insane or leave them with no life to actually.... live. Polymaths are polymaths because their mind needs constant stimulation. One week the focus may be biology... the next week it’s Engineering... the next sketching...This isn’t because the polymath is choosing the subjects, this is because the polymath naturally becomes bored of one subject, goes into next and restarts the whole process of knowledge boredom knowledge. Only a natural obsessive curiosity will get someone to true polymath status. I call it the triple A’s. Academics, Athletics, and the Arts
Not to bad. These tenants are universal. They Phoenix in many different cultures for, probably, ten thousand years. There's nothing tack or fringe about those ideas either. Good job.

While it's true, maybe we can focus on one core skill to be perfected and the others can be learned with time.
I think enjoying the process of learning is more important rather than trying to master.. in absolute reality there is no end to mastering...

Of course there’s a lot of hindrance that I encounter (lack of time, negative comments etc.), but I will stand my ground and continue to pursue what I love!! Don’t let other’s opinion hold you back!! 💕
And also on my way learning my 3rd language lol
Wow, good for you! I admire anyone who can do that. I sure don't have the capacity (nor the patience!) for it.
I really admire that
Please learn Chinese if you are learning a 4th. That way you might see a different world.
@@onyxphantom6762 be careful when people around you stop caring about you, I'm talking from experience, don't let your image affect your emotions and actions...
Hey R.C. another great polymath worth studying is Jose Rizal. He was a pretty amazing human being, and it's shocking that he isn't more well known.
dude spoke 22 languages, he was genius, too bad he'd turn in his grave after the recent election
Someone said my channel could be described as a “renaissance channel”.. So I ended up here to learn more about it!
dude, so weird to see you here.
É bizarro como eu sempre te encontro em comentários gringos kkkkkk, boa sorte na sua vida Pedro.
Wood sculptor, tattoo artist, arborist, classical sculptor, now I'm 40 and a year into my fine art degree, here in the UK it's looked down on for going through different careers, my older brother who is a successful business man seriously looks at me as some kind of misfit for this way of living. I'm happy to be different in this way but my only issue is I feel I'll never become highly skilled in one subject as I feel moving away from another with affect it. Ha its a funny old life :)
I'm learning 8 languages, currently in two bachelor programmes and three master programmes, I write and paint in my free time and exercise everyday. I wouldn't call myself a polymath though, because I haven't mastered anything of it yet and furthermore my majors are however mostly connected to computer science, sociology and economy. I wish I had more time for biology, chemistry or physics. I should work that into my schedule.
Polymath is an ideal no one will ever reach. I made this video a few years back and since then I've made some adjustments to my view. What's important here, is your attitude toward learning, not some grand achievement of finally ending up being some masterful genius. The important question, I guess, is to ask yourself: do you feel like you are enjoying everything you are learning? Are they connecting you to a deeper understanding of the universe and yourself? In terms of history, this is a Humanist attitude toward learning. It's about the learning itself, not the "thing" you will become after your journey toward being a learned person. It's not about learning more and more and more, or else you'll only end up a machine full of empty facts. My hats off to you; wow, three masters programs. But do ask yourself the questions, they're very important. Thank you for the comment. :)
how????
Omg this is so me. I currently want to learn Mandarin, French, Arabic, Vietnamese, Spanish .... I’m so poly I don’t know which one to start on bc I know it’d be easier for me to learn just one at a time but the other half of me is saying learn 3 at once... it seems more satisfying
@@loveambsss have you decided which one to learn? i'm curious now hah
@@loveambsss shiny object syndrome, dont pull yourself in 4 different directions, youll be at step 1 of all of them or play favourites, and at that point you may as well do one by one. (not being a dick, I struggle with this too.)
I'm so relieved that there are more people like me. I'm surrounded by people very good at one thing. Their personality and life just revolves around their specialisation. Dull if you ask me
Nothing wrong with either way son, you aren't better and they aren't better, just different
I can draw anatomically correct figures using both hands since I was 5. Now I am into acrylics, pastels and pencils as well as graphic design and 3D modeling/Architecture. I am also into sculpture, poetry and prose writing. I can speak Tagalog, English and some Japanese, Spanish and French (self taught). I have been playing guitar and bass, acting (theatre and film) singing (rock), hiphop dancing, and body building (though I have to admit my slight asian physique isn't much to look at). When I was younger, I played basketball and excelled in BMX freestyle tricks. I've won a handful of TV Quiz shows and bought a house with the money. Now, I spend most days looking after my tropical fish, cooking and keeping my day job as a shared services supervisor but I would not call myself a polymath at any rate. I think to be a true Uomo Universale, one does not just dabble, but excels masterfully in their chosen fields like the great Renaissance Men of old. People like me are known as Philomaths and we're a lot more common than these esteemed geniuses of Leonardo's caliber.
I think the different between polymath and jack of all trades is that polymath integrates wide range of subjects together and innovates new things
while jack of all trades can do and learn many things as reductionist approach.
This is good
studying aerospace engineering, know 4 languages, play the piano, workout, about to start boxing classes, manage an online store
To be fair there is a difference between having lots of hobbies and being a polymath right? The latter actually makes meaningful progress in every direction, and hobbies just passes time in different ways
I'm a professional breakdancer (winning 24 competitions worldwide), have a degree in zoology( worked and lived with wolves), poet, author, photographer, videographer and editor(hence my TH-cam channel all self-made and edited), footballer, boxer, jujitsu practicioner(training out of 10th planet), adventurer(with the intent of traveling to every country), vanlifer( self converted my van into a camper and traveled throughout the United States) and marathon runner.
In the near future I plan on learning 3 more languages, getting archeological certification, doing biking competitions, physique competitions, getting military experience, jungle survival skills, building a house, competing in shooting competitions, competing in fencing, training Muay thai, making a television series, act in movies, wingsuit flying, start a business, learn coding and create an app.
I don’t think the overwhelming number of commenters here are polymaths. They’re just people with diverse hobbies, passions and interests. Polymaths don’t exist anymore like they used to. The 21st century isn’t Renaissance Europe where people could sit around all day and study. No one has that time anymore, plus the markets have become specialized, which is why people study specific things and then get really good at them. I’d say scholars or perhaps even book collectors/enthusiasts are the real 21st century polymaths, but even that’s pushing it.

No, you're not a polymath, you're just a person who has many hobbies and there's nothing wrong with that
Real Katgen so what’s the difference?
@@Noname-rq1hr Polymath's want to know everything about everything.
@@Noname-rq1hr Back at the time of the renaissance man this was more feasible as there wasn't as much information. Now with the internet it's impossible to touch on all subjects but you can still dive into many different aspects of life and knowledge and find the interconnect was in everything.
It’s only impossible for those who say it is, back then you say there was less information but reality was still the same the things that fascinate us the same back then there would have been no master of all knowledge nor will there be one today being a polymath is something other than that I encourage you to reflect on that
@@Kylemathews1 so why can't modern people be polymaths? Access to more information doesn't mean doesn't mean there can't be polymaths
Robert Greene's book Mastery also talks about pursuing your many interests and eventually finding ways to combine them into a life pursuit that's uniquely you.
What I find useful for learning from books are summary tools like Blinkist and Good Reads.
Audiobooks can help too.
If you do actually read a book:
First, go over the key concepts:
title, chapter titles, images if any, bold print, end of chapter summaries.
If you still don't get it all, read the book in full.
Usually, the key points are enough. There's a lot of filler.
But if the filler helps you with the emotional links and the reasons for things, then read that in full.
Emotion helps with why you should care.
I'm a data compression guy, so I'm into summarising and getting the key points.
I mostly have to remind myself of this: It's always a good sign when I constantly have to rewind and relisten because of my mind going on a tangent. I'm at the 8:05 mark now, and I just realized I didn't listen to a single word after you talked about Da Vinci's physicality, which I didn't know about
man you are great to keep uploading such great content without much appreciation. your work and your dedication is inspiring .
Hey I just discovered your channel, I just wanna say thank you! Because I was always beating myself up over the fact that I have many different interests and I thought I was a "jack of all, master of none", but it's dope to see there's more of us out there so I'm not crazy after all, I just gotta deploy patience 🙏
The full saying goes, “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one”.
Thanks for the info man. You nailed some self acts to improve thy self. I think we have to progress to other ideologies to flourish in our modern age.
Yes! found the person. I never really understand myself and its quiet a curse that almost everything interests me. Now i don't feel silly anymore cause i know i will meet more people like you. Thank you!

Thank you asia man (non-racist). Greetings from Lima, Peru!
All these points are so solid! When you embrace these things you can lead a truly fulfilling life
I have also read Walter Isaacson's biography about Leonardo da Vinci. I would suggest another Davincian essential to becoming a polymath, which is to become super-observant of your surroundings. It leads to the development of comparisons and inquiry, which leads to changes in thinking. It worked for da Vinci in a time prior to the advent of the Scientific Method.
Man, I would give you a hug for such a concise and informative video. I feel like I am home. All my life, I thought I am crazy for doing a superset of "International Relations, Biology and Bicep Curls". I thought I am crazy and these innovative ideas that come to me, I didn't know why it happened. Now, I see it. I am a polymath. I don't want to be one, I am one. I think like this, to view one concept from different perspectives, depths, and width - Intellectually and experientially. My interests range from Anthropology, Defence Technology and Administrative Law. Any tips for me, dude? I am 22, fresh outta college. You seem to be young, how is it like being a polymath?

Here is a real polymath! Just for fun, Window Pain!
John von Neumann ( 1903 - 1957 )
Hungarian-American pure and applied mathematician, physicist, economist, engineer, and polyglot.
He made contributions to almost every area of mathematics.
Work includes, notable contributions to quantum mechanics, stochastic computing, economics, statistics, lattice theory, game theory, shock waves, hydrodynamics, von Neumann architecture, quantum statistical mechanics, operator algebras, linear programming, hydrogen and atomic bombs, and mutually assured destruction ( MAD ).
He was an advisor to government and major industries.
He had a phenomenal memory and could recall an entire page of a telephone directory at a glance, or pages of literature having heard it years before.
As a polyglot he was fluent in French, German, Latin, Greek, Yiddish and English, in addition to his native Hungarian.
As a prodigy, at the age of six, John von Neumann could divide two 8-digit numbers in his head! and was fluent in Ancient Greek!
He had a degree in chemistry, was a biologist, and amateur historian.
He was the greatest mathematician of the 20th century! And some people regard him as the most intelligent person who has ever lived!
Love how honest and sincere this man is!
To be honest, I have a large array of interests that I, personally, am kind of aware of. Currently, my interests in terms of expanding knowledge have to be creative writing, linguistics and conlanging (constructing languages), and cooking/baking. But I also thought about taking engineering (like patent inventions and architecture ), art (painting and drawing), mathematics, playing a musical instrument(s), biology, and other activities that I may/may not partake because of schedule.
What I will do is to be committed to a healthy body and mind and just see where my true passions will go in the long run.
He's young, but he's also Asian, therefore I trust him.

Good video. I think I'm a polymath/renaissance man and didn't realize it until recently.
My favourite quote about meditation is,
"I think everyone should meditate 20 minutes a day.
Except really busy people.
They should meditate 40 minutes a day."
Though I usually see this as "...They should meditate an hour a day."
6) accept impermanence
The thing that always haunts me is being a jack of all trades and master of none.
Extremely good video. These aspects are true and principles of being and in the unity of physical and metaphysical life.
I have been perceiving these concepts on the path of personal evolution in the physical and metaphysical spheres, of life in all its aspects.
1 - Take care of the body (physical part) to be healthy (intelligent) mentally (metaphysical part).
We should not separate or choose only one side, between the physical (tangible) and the metaphysical (intangible) worlds.
2 - Self-education. Decentralize the power of people, organizations and companies from access to knowledge. Take control of our lives, because knowledge liberates. Today, with the internet, it is easier for us.
3 - What he calls Meditation, I call consciousness and contemplation.
The contemplation of the creation that we are and of the physical, tangible world that we see is the pure sample of prosperity in what was created, there are no blockages in the physical world, it is just perfect.
The blockages came from us, imperfect beings in the physical world but in the metaphysical world, we are perfect because we are the image and likeness of the Creator. It is worth mentioning that I am not religious.
4 - Emptiness. It means focusing on the other being, whether human or not. It is eliminating egocentrism.
When we focus on serving, instead of being served, we reap results in whatever we set out to do.
This channel is so important, thank you

I just realized I'm naturally a polymath? I've always told people how i don't understand why anyone would want to only do one career or one thing in such a short life i find so many thing fascinating and worth learning about and once i have a good idea how something works i move on but i always felt bad that i never "completed" anything. I guess this is something to embrace.
Tell me why you SHOULD be one, first, and why it's evil not to be one

I remember being 11 years old wanting to be a polymath; And then I woke up and then I was...
I know this sounds a bit silly but Leonardo da Vinci makes me proud to be Italian and makes me want to know more about my country
Thank u for this sir. I never allowed myself to really truly think I could do it. Or say it out loud. Because being a polymath. Learning everything...it sounds so arrogant...but maybe I'm just making an excuse for myself
You can't learn everything, but you can know a little bit about many things, and a lot about some things. 😊
If you want to be a polymath in the traditional sense, then:
1. choose at least three academic areas you find fascinating
2. do what it takes to become an expert in them. Look at what top colleges do to teach those areas (you can find many useful materials from MIT and other colleges). Or, find experts in those fields and figure out how they got there, then do some of the things they did.
3. give yourself at least a few years to focus just on learning. As you do that, you'll get ideas for research topics and you'll be able to start contributing new knowledge.
It's not arrogant to think you can learn a lot. Just make sure it's something you truly want. If yes, polymathy will bring you joy. If not, find what kind of life you truly want. There are many paths to a beautiful, joyful life. Figure out which one is yours and have the courage to follow it.
❤
hey, great video. about education and knowledge, i think true learning happens when we try something and fail then reflect. books are valuable in regards of being suddenly aware of a different world which we didn't know its existence but in order to realy understand that world, we need to make a concrete connection with our own experiences and our own life. if we can gamify something, consistantly make mistakes and learn from them, we can have fun and make progress.
Embrace the emptiness… I loved analysis… a very deep discussion and evaluation

Pro tip: On your way to becoming a polymath figure out how to pronounce Walter Isaacson's name.
Dreaming about blacksmithing i see your video man. Thanks
By nature (and the way I'm wired), I've always been somewhat of a Polymath..... so, starting at age 9 -- I've been a Percussionist, a bodybuilder, a golfer, a Pianist (see channel), and now a distance runner. I think if you "re-ivent" yourself constantly and constantly learn stuff, that's a path to Polymathy.
I am felling in love with this channel
I fundamentally disagree that there is such a thing as a "modern polymath". The concept of polymath is bound to certain material and ideal conditions in history that aren't given anymore. Science and Liberal Arts have been differentiated too much to really get into detail in several disciplines. It's even too differentiated too much to become a master in even one subject. There aren't historians anymore, but ancient historians, medievalists, modern historians or even historians who are focused on history of technique, history of gender or something like that. There aren't sociologists, but there are sociologists of work, urban sociologists, gender sociologists, sociologists who focus on quantitative or qualitative research or on social theory. And this happens in all subjects.
There are two ways to get close to something a bit similar to the polymaths of ancient times, renaissance or the 18th century, but it's totally not the same.
First, you can know little about many things. So you could really get into several subjects and get into them on a broad scale. But by doing so you will never be as good in one of them as somebody who focused in his research. But this is far from the classical polymaths who really grasped the essence of several subjects in earlier times. I agree that it is still an interesting path, but it might be more than a bit tricky with the eye on your professional career.
Second, you can find one or two phenomena you are interested in. Maybe it's something as labour, climate change, digitalisation, a special kind of literature, ancient rome or whatever. And then you do your research on these one or two phenomena in a very interdisciplinary way. To give an example as I'm very interested into work and labour topics: You could view labour out of a sociological perspective by getting into empirical research. You could learn about the formation of different kinds of labour by reading history literature or philosophical works, for example by Karl Marx, who wrote a lot about this, you could get into political sciences: How do trade unions act? You could read psychological literature: What is good work for the individual? How can work influence your psyche? You could exchange knowledge with engineers about new technological trends that influence how work is performed and so on, and so on.
I think that this last one is what comes closest to a "modern polymath" and I think that it is a really useful approach. Because remember: The classical polymath was an aristocrat who didn't have to work (or they were at least paid by one for reasons of prestige). They had other sources of income. They didn't have to think about what they can give back to society which is in my eyes paradoxically why some of them actually gave so much back. Because they didn't have the risk of failing. We luckily live in different times, today. We have to combine the enjoyable with the useful. And this changes the paths from that we can choose.

Mechanical,electrical,comp,electronics,physics,maths I love these all fields😅😅😅😅 and can easily grasp the concept related to it. Am I a Polymath?? Or all these things are just related to logical reasoning segment only so I couldnt call myself as polymath??
I've been looking for the great physique ! Thx
Polymaths arent polymaths because they try. In fact one could say that trying to be a polymath will drive someone insane or leave them with no life to actually.... live. Polymaths are polymaths because their mind needs constant stimulation. One week the focus may be biology... the next week it’s Engineering... the next sketching...This isn’t because the polymath is choosing the subjects, this is because the polymath naturally becomes bored of one subject, goes into next and restarts the whole process of knowledge boredom knowledge. Only a natural obsessive curiosity will get someone to true polymath status. I call it the triple A’s. Academics, Athletics, and the Arts
Thank you for this comment ❤.
