Nothing is more valuable to society than ‘the polymath’ (‘the many learn’). To become a culture of polymaths will mean that society is enriched and will automatically improve social and political mores.
Multi-disciplinary tertiary education by peoples will mean we can deploy integral knowledge synthesised by great minds, and not waste their profound scholarly insights, and even improve upon them. Whether it’s political economy, formal philosophy, social science, hard science, anthropology, or ethology, all intertwine and the polymath better ascertains the connections between these fields more and more. Thus knowledge of the parts and the whole become better elucidated.
Becoming a genuinely trained polymath is being the change you want to see in the world!
