Drew's Journal

I read The Polymath by Peter Burke to see what polymaths, fellow creatures that have mastered several disciplines, have in common. The book only spends two chapters discussing this. A short summary lies below:

• Restless curiosity: The most obvious characteristic. This might be partially genetic as it seems to be in a bird – the great tit.
• Absorbed concentration.
• A strong memory.
• Speedy learning often through speedy reading.
