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.

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.
