You don't have to stick to either being a jack of all trades or becoming an expert in only one area. You can commit to multiple areas and become an expert in multiple areas. The point is to never stop learning from multiple sources because the time most people have on earth will likely exceed the amount of time needed to become competent in one area and the extra time you spend in that area often doesn't produce much growth so you might as well take on an additional area of learning instead of being stuck in complacency for decades after that. It's ok to explore and discover in the process while you decide on new areas to tackle and learn. But that doesn't mean you are equally incompetent in all your areas because all you did was explore instead of commit. Being equally incompetent in all areas of study does not make you a polymath, it just makes you incompetent. The way she presents it makes us polymaths sound flaky and incompetent.
@jinnie1108 "You don't have to stick to either being a jack of all trades or becoming an expert in only one area. You can commit to multiple areas and become an expert in multiple areas. " - Very well said. We have lowered the bar for polymathy, and we made the term useless. What we should do instead is keep the bar high and put in the hard work it takes to reach it. It's still possible to find true polymaths today and it's still possible to become one. ❤
