/sci/ - Science & Math

A polymath is one who is known for a wide range of knowlege and can draw a wide range of abstract conclusions and wariety based on ones imagination and conclusions. He is one with a huge capacity of various subjects. Polymath is often used to describe our histories greatest thinkers from Da Vinci to Galileo Galilei and Nikola Tesla. Which are all of them great geniuses. They were all selfmade polymaths. They had a great appetite for knowlege and contributed to many different fields of inventions. They contributed to science far greater than anyone else. With groundbreaking new ideas and visions nobody else could grasp or even think of. They were the real pioneers of their time.

Today we never even hear of polymaths. They only belong to history. So where are they. There should be far more now than then based on stayistics in population increase. There are most likely many more now than then. But it can evidently look like that they are hiding and showing low profile. But do we know someone bold enough like e.g Tesla today? No we actually don't. Great things died with him and science has never gone any further than his visions and inventions. That's abit sad. Because think what a guy like Tesla could do today. With all the knowlege and info we have now easily accessable. We would expect a quantun leap greater than ever before. He would have been pretty badass. So what I wanted to say is where are the polymaths today? Why do they hide. Or did they just die with Tesla or Neuman?

Hi, I havent seen any of these threads lately and also /sci/ has been inactive and short on people. Or everyone just went back to lurking. Anyway I wanna talk about a quantum leap. What comes after the computer age were now living in. What if we got upgraded and got super machines that were able to think, evaluate, reason and figure out stuff we can't. I want Tesla stuff and shit. And think beyond that. I want magic to happen.

Yeah I guess. It depends on how good you are at reading people. And reading people here on 4chan can be fun to do if your good at it. I have some sort of mental filter where I see people in different cathegory from autist to redneck to peasant all the way to genius and super genius and personality traits and more. So to say it in other words I am very good at poker to. Im very good at reading people. And 4chan has helped me alot to become a master at deduction.

So i prime example of a brainlet is actually hard to be on point on. Other than that they often are underdeveloped. But a brainlet can also be quite brilliant if they develop good. But being genius is a whole other thing. Because they catch everything in a glimpt and work their magic on what's absolute truth. And the more genius you are the less you have to learn from others to understand. It's like the more genius you are the more you get from just observing the world. And eventually that is enough to make them understand everything. Im not a professor so I don't have all these examples for you. I think I used to have but now I don't bother with that even.

But I can try. A brainlet is one that lack the ability to adapt to knowlege, wisdom, change, information, logic, being social, communication, math, natural laws of physics, emphathy, sympathy and so on.

A genius is oposite of that. They are more developed.

Just imagine a perfectly ceated and developed human specemin and take it from there.
