  1. Denigrating multiskill people with "jack of all trades and master of none" is a trick of #capitalism to socially push people into specialization, which can be leveraged and taken advantage of easier by the #capitalists.

    If they press you, tell them you literally have more skill in more things than most people.

    Ah, welcome to the #hellthread, my friend.

    That's just how we roll here on #polymaths. 🤷‍♂️

    Apologies for bandwidth/consternation. Feel free to mute me if it gets on your nerves.

    In my (slightest) defense, I mostly toot from the terminal, so I don't have to deal with laggy web UIs too often, although sometimes the #hellthreads get too much for even me. 😂

    It's the new #Polymaths mental health mode.

    Quiet time for all the sweet nerdy little boys and... girls? Are there girls on here? lol

  7. For any of you on #LessWrong, I've got some of my posts as sequences over there on the topics of: #Polymaths #Moloch #Alignment & #GameTheory. Feel free to nerd-out in the comments.

    Well, I'm obviously a big fan of this group of crazies here on #polymaths, administered by @amin!

    Also a big fan of the folks at bsd.cafe, administered by the very wise and very kind @stefano

    Other than that, just find interesting people by looking at hashtags! ;)

    Also, it's not possible to not find interesting interactions by just looking at what I'm up to day-by-day on #Fedi.

    I'm not sure if that's a humblebrag or an apology. 😂

  13. Hey #GtS peeps / #Polymaths,

    How do you edit your filters without using a mobile client? :E

    Solution: Enafore has it: https://polymaths.social/@kabel42/statuses/01KFEQ16Y7231TFR5K4ZQZ9ZVT
    Correction: Enafore's UI for filters is kinda b0rken. Phanpy works, though! ;)

  15. Innovators throughout the ages have found ways to apply knowledge in one area of expertise to another domain to create breakthroughs. This series makes a strong case for "reasoning by analogy". See if this shift in perspective unlocks your inner genius. #Polymaths #Genius #Innovation #Musk

    In fairness to the #Polymaths community, our federated feed is actually pretty sane, but it was definitely more political.

    The federated feed on a BIG instance like Pixelfed.social?

    Not. Safe. For. Existence. 😂

  19. Wow the #Polymaths federated feed is actually not horrifying.

    Its almost as if this instance is full of reasonably well-adjusted people.

    What a strange phenomenon! 😄

  21. @joel @amin @samuel @diego

    I'd be curious to know what percentage of #Polymaths have real pictures of themselves as avatars. I'm sure it's very low. XD

  25. Scrolled the #polymaths local feed again a bit ago, and remembered why I’m here. So much varied and weird knowledge, articulated in ways that can be followed - it’s fantastic.

  29. Yo #Polymaths,

    Is there a way to follow bsky accounts on here?

    I promise to mainly use it to needle a friend of mine to join the fediverse. XD

  31. Something very strange is happening. I'm not automatically receiving any new posts from folks that I follow. The only way to get new posts is to refresh the browser page. Anyone else on the #polymaths instance seeing this or is just me?

  37. I love how a snarky back-and-forth thread spontaneously turned into a light-hearted Monty Python-quoting fest

    I love this community. XD

    Yes, please join #Polymaths so I can encourage you and more frequently confront you with your intrinsic value.

    I promise to be quite merciless.
