But if you define a polymath classically as someone who is an expert in everything there is to know, like Leibnitz, then there are probably few polymaths today simply because the human brain has a limited bandwidth in this age of our ever-exploding amount of knowledge.

In general today, polymaths are considered those who have the ability to gather and comprehend a tremendous amount of knowledge in comparison with the average person. Intimations of egotism or other disparaging traits simply because someone honestly acknowledges facts about their accomplishments are just petty and catty.
I repeat, nobody cares.

Not so sure I would agree with that. When he is serious he says a lot.

That's not how I see it, but you are very likely correct to a point

Do you EVER say anything substantive, meaningful or even rational? Answer, Hell no.

Since your idea of "substantive" is profanity, hateful mocking & insults, and whining...you will not find my posts to be so.

What you describe is a result of your disingenuous "debate\":. Enough said.

Perhaps tomorrow I should spend some time going back over your posts of the last week and compiling a list of your hateful mocking and insults and whining. Because many of them are that, whether you can admit it or not.
