polymathy
A polymath is a person whose knowledge spans across several different areas and topics. In today's world, it is common to specialise in one area, discipline, or profession. But instead, I want to learn about many different things as a personal hobby, and while I have a specific job, there are other areas of knowledge that are not related to it which I want to learn. The process of deciding what to learn and educating oneself about it is called autodidacticism. On this page I list topics I'm interested in, using Wikipedia's Contents/Overviews.
A (temporary) brief and rudimentary list of topics I'm interested in learning is as follows:
- Biology
- Philosophy
- Physics - Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory
- Chemistry
- Astronomy
- (Mechanical) Engineering
- Computer Science
