Re: A polymath in an age of specialists
by

There is a business nearby my home, I pass it every day on the way to and from work; the sign above it advertises the services of a polymath. The sign is focused on tutoring--for SATs and other such tests--but gives me no more information. Since the first day I saw that sign I've been curious as to what a polymath was, but I could never remember it long enough to actually learn more.
Funny that, because now I realize I am one.
I absolutely loved your article. It neatly summed up everything from my early school experiences all the way to my present day job. It stunned me: I've known for a very long time that I tended towards generalism, but I've seen in the last several years that people want specialists. It's been quite a struggle for me.
After reading this article, I'm finally starting to see the value in being a polymath. I've been avoiding this nature of mine for far too long, which has only succeeded in harming me further. Your article was brilliant, enlightening, and very well written.
Thank you.
