Polymathic Being

Counterintuitive insights from technology, innovation, philosophy, psychology, and more.

The newsletter is a broad scope exploration across domains and disciplines to discover what humanity’s superpower is, how we can learn to wield it, and practical discussions of complex topics to ensure we can unlock the most innovation from the world around us.

The goal is to stretch our brains and explore new and interesting topics each week. You don't have to be an expert to enjoy these essays and my goal is to break through the silos we've constructed and, instead, foster the free flow of information, knowledge, and wisdom.

What is a Polymath people ask?

A Polymath (Greek: πολυμαθής, polymathēs, "having learned much"; Latin: homo universalis, "universal human")[1] is an individual whose knowledge spans a substantial number of subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems.

Fundamentally, I view this as an aspirational goal to reconceptualize the world around us and to draw from a broad array of fields to solve complex problems.

These essays will focus from leadership to philosophy, to psychology, to religion, to technology. Polymathic Being looks for the fusions and confluences that we can weave into something useful for everyone.

Why subscribe?

Subscribing means you never miss out on an essay. They’ll be delivered directly to your email the moment I publish. On a personal level, subscribing helps me build my reader base and, in turn, better tailor my authoring to both builds on common topics as well as know how to introduce new concepts to the aspiring Polymath.

My goal is to keep these essays free for everyone. Feel free to sign up so you can get these in your email each week. If you can afford to help, annual subscriptions are only $30 per year and that helps with the upkeep and effort in producing this content.

Sharing is also caring so please share these with your networks and help us grow!

Let’s write together!

I’m always interested in new topics, co-authors, and guest authors. If you’ve got a great idea you’d like me to explore, or you need help exploring, or you’ve already got something done, then let’s dig in and see how it integrates.

I’m really interested in building this into something bigger than myself and my own interests and would love to see it as a platform where I can learn as much as I share.
