r/Polymath is a subreddit with 38k members. The community frequently discusses polymath, learning, knowledge, interests, and education, and the most common flair used is general discussion, about group, higher college/learning, dot-connection, and tools/mindmaps.
This is a community for people pursuing multiple disciplines. For people who can't stop learning and connecting dots between dimensions. Ideas are more interesting when they escape their own field! We love continuing trains of thought onto different, varied tracks. Intellectual, polite discourse is required. Links to proof is encouraged. Part of the Reddit Safe Community Network.
