You have found Remedial Polymath. So let’s explain this show… In case you weren’t yet aware, a polymath is someone who is well versed in many areas of study. Remedial of course means you’re not so great in a field of study. The resulting quasi-corny play-on-words of a title means that this podcast will be an informal approach to wide learning with the aim of making you rethink your world just a little bit. Because when one digs a bit deeper, and a bit differently, into what they thought they know or don’t know - they often find their knowledge is just a practice in mental regurgitation. There is a substantial difference between thinking, believing in, or knowing something. Beliefs should be rare, and claiming knowledge of something even rarer. And we have to realize that feeling we believe in, or “know” something, not only leads to a lot of avoidable trouble in the human experience but when too liberally applied to one’s life can stifle the ability to question, to change, and to wonder. It has often been correctly said that, “the more you learn the less you know.” At Remedial Polymath we’d like to add, “the less you know the wiser you are.” So, let’s try to get wiser, at an average and fun pace. At least that’s the idea for now. Thing could most definitely change along the way... Welcome to Remedial Polymath.
