Introduction

Counter intuitive insights from technology, innovation, philosophy, psychology, and more.

Welcome to Polymathic Being, a place to explore counterintuitive insights across multiple domains.  These essays take common topics and explore them from different perspectives and disciplines and, in doing so, come up with unique insights and solutions.  Fundamentally, a Polymath is a type of thinker who spans diverse specialties and weaves together insights that the domain experts often don’t see. 

What is a Polymath?

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 is 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.
