"Amateur polymath" is a short essay by Karl Jones.
Essay
I was an amateur polymath as a child, and I am the same at 59. All I really care about is reading ideas and talking about ideas. (And drawing ideas, and singing ideas, and dancing ideas, and so forth.)
Career? One doesn't get a career, doesn't *want* a career. Specialism is death!
One gets a kind of mosaic, rather than a resume as such.
It's a good life. I like it.
History
Jones wrote the essay on the morning of Thursday, 10 December 2020, in a comment on Facebook.
