Why A Polymath?

Why not? Human beings have considerable control over the configuration of their minds (knowledge) and the configuration of their bodies (health). I am only on this earth for a limited amount of time so why not put my best foot forward?

It is often said that ignorance is bliss, but I would like to assert that ignorance is only bliss to an ignorant mind. I care too much about spending every precious second I have left appreciating and fully understanding what exactly it is I have as a living breathing being, so why would I ignore it? I want to create beautiful works of art. I want to invent things that would have never existed without me. I want to make a mark on this world; to make it a better place.

I have a lot of work ahead of me. I better get started.
