Who of you consider yourselves polymaths?
And have you used Renaissance Man? What benefits have you seen from running it?
What areas have you been involved in?
I don’t consider myself a polymath, but an aspirant. I’ve been involved in several areas like informatics, language learning, dancing, photography, etc.
I haven’t used RM a lot. Like 5 times since its release.
In my humble opinion, your question needs a bit more elaboration, as the general definition of polymath is just an individual who possesses knowledge in multiple subjects/areas of knowledge, it begs the question: is it enough just to know about many things to be considered a “polymath”?
I myself wouldn’t consider myself as one, even though I have the following:
12 years of knowledge in Psychology (self study).
over 10 years of exercise and nutrition knowledge and experience.
one of the top 10 Tekken 8 players in my country with multiple tournament wins.
holding the record for the fastest speedrun in my country in a game called Hades.
computer science background (dropped out of my final year cause I got bored of it, along with other issues), along with deep interest in modding tech for fun.
over 15 years of experience in magic, with card magic being the specialization.
seeing as my body count is 40+, I’d also say I have a good experience in understanding and seducing women.
lastly, seeing as I’ve been organizing events as my job, I’d say 2.5 years of events organization and management experience.
With all that said, the reason I don’t consider myself a polymath because I lose interest quick, and contrary to Polymaths, the reason for why I’ve invested time in so many things is because I get bored easily and just get addicted to trying new experiences, up until I repeat the cycle.
In a way, I’m the opposite of a Polymath; just a guy with an addictive personality and a lot of free time 
I think the time of true polymaths is long gone.
Simply because you can nowadays find more books on a specific math problem, then in DaVincis Age on math and astronomy in general.
It was far easier in the past to get a substantial part of the knowledge of one subject than today.
So to get the knowledge to become a polymath would need you know to spend centuries simply because the sheer amount of knowledge exploded exponentially since the age of polymaths.
Hmm I wish I was, but I’m ordinary as ordinary gets. Using these subs to turn that ordinary and unleash the legendary.
I’ve always been intrigued by the extraordinarily gifted. Da Vinci, Zhuge Liang, Subutai, Napoleon, Caesar etc to name a few.
When RM was released, it called to me because I have many interests and I’m thinking at the time perhaps this would gel better with my latent personality. Although the single minded determination of the likes of Emperor is definitely something I’m missing in my psyche.
I wouldn’t consider myself a polymath, but I’ve always had a knack for learning new things and being interested in widely different topics. This has helped me in my job as a management consultant because every project and client is different. I always need to get up to speed as fast as possible to advise my clients on the best path forward.
I ran RM and loved it. I felt as it boosted my natural trait of delving into new areas and exploring original ideas. Highly recommend it.
