  • polymaths helping each other with an overlapping
  • topic: amateurism, can it sometimes be disrepect towards a discipline?
• [[polymathy]] is a [[state of being]]. In that state, there is only a state of connection.
• [[expert]] == a [[miner]]
• [[polymath]] == [[depth]] + [[breadth]] + [[integration]]. A polymath pursues a mission: there are no disciplines, there are other connections. This is a spectrum, though.
