I hope polymaths are not any closer to extinction than the rest of us.
I tend towards synthetic thinking as i label it, but i am not inclined to claim the distinction of being a polymath. Yet, i have a theory that sits in the intersection of too many disciplines and only critical theory of philosophy can hold it adequately, but it spans deeply into the human condition in nearly domain.
Thank you for this article. I honestly think that polymaths (and the like) are the only people who can take in the depth and breadth of human culture, consciousness and technology in order to develop systems to identify externalities that utilitarians in their narrow metric focuses seem to miss.
