- [[dream project]] is a [[polymath club]]: https://twitter.com/NormanChella/status/1319216375240404997
  - cares about [[polymathy studies]] more than about the credentials of being a polymath. there is no end goal; it is an activity, a work in progress.

  - "polymaths in progress": a manifesto for this attitude.
  - 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.
