We believe in the well-rounded person who is adept in multiple fields.

It can be sciences, philosophy, education, psychology, magic, economics, business, persuasion, marketing, the arts: classical music, photography, writing, dance, architecture, technology, cooking, etc.

We believe that Polymaths are under-appreciated.

They are often ridiculed, misdiagnosed as ADHD, encouraged to specialize against their nature, and labeled as lacking potential or “Jack of all trades, master of none.”

We believe the world needs more

people with a wide range of skills and knowledge. Polymaths are rare. We’re on a mission to create more.

We believe that the rare Polymaths move the world forward.

They discover, integrate, and apply mankind’s increasing knowledge into useful principles, products, services, and enterprises. Without them, information would be isolated and fragmented. We are the inventors, the entrepreneurs, the innovators, the wild experimenters.

We believe in the power of the multidisciplinary approach.

We will not be boxed into just one field. We believe in the power of the Renaissance Man/Woman, who can thrive in many areas.

We believe that Polymaths are uniquely equipped to handle the chaos of the modern world.

The Information Age has brought us the Age of Overload, but also the tools to handle that overload. We master thinking, productivity, and collaboration tools in ways unique to Polymaths. 

We master a variety of cross-domain MindSkills™️

in the areas of Super-Learning, Critical Thinking, Problem-solving, Decision-Making, Emotional Mastery, People Skills, Visionary and Implementation Skills.

We are paradoxical.

We are creative and analytical at the same time. We are practical and imaginative at the same time. Serious while being funny. Rational while being passionate. We don’t bounce one ball; we juggle.

We leverage our efforts to maximize our effects.

We believe that we don’t have to know everything about a field to appreciate it and use it to further our ends. While we have high standards of excellence, we don’t always take things to completion because planting the seed or doing the pioneering work is often the most satisfying part for us.

We believe in The 80/20 rule,

doing 5x more at 80% than the specialists striving for 100%. We even take this rule to the extreme: 1-5% of the effort is responsible for ½ to ⅔ of the output. That means we can work magic with our pinky by doing the 1% that will have a gigantic impact.

We are the ones who create breakthroughs rather than incremental improvements.

We break things and build things. Even though we are dedicated to excellence, we often leave the refining and polishing to others. We believe in all-around mental fitness and the full development of our capacities. We are the decathlon players, not the individual record-holders in one individual sport. We’d rather have speed, agility, strength, AND endurance to a high degree rather than record-breaking performance in only one area.

We believe in super learning:

By mastering the fundamentals of multiple fields, we can do cross-field learning and problem-solving.

We are individualists

who realize the power of collaboration instead of competition.

We are dedicated to helping the Specialist world understand the power of Polymathy

so that we can work together. We are often regarded as braggarts because specialists, who don’t think we can know so much about many fields, think we are bragging. 

We believe in learning for learning’s sake.

We have an insatiable curiosity and frustration tolerance to pursue multiple fields, either at once or serially.

We thrive in chaos.

Because we have so many adaptable resources to call upon.

We are discovering how to harness the immense power of communities and teams of Polymaths.

We recognize that groups of Polymaths have repeatedly changed human history. (Socrates’ circle, The Florence/Medici Renaissance Artists & Scientists, The Continental Congress, The Manhattan Project, The Algonquin Roundtable, Disney, Xerox PARC, etc.),

We are exploring the idea that when Polymaths are brought together, chain reactions and knowledge explosions change the world.

We are proud to be Polymaths.

And we love to help other Polymaths receive the validation, recognition, and success they deserve.
