The modern polymath

A polymath is one who is known for a wide range of knowlege and can draw a wide range of abstract conclusions and wariety based on ones imagination and conclusions. He is one with a huge capacity of various subjects. Polymath is often used to describe our histories greatest thinkers from Da Vinci to Galileo Galilei and Nikola Tesla. Which are all of them great geniuses. They were all selfmade polymaths. They had a great appetite for knowlege and contributed to many different fields of inventions. They contributed to science far greater than anyone else. With groundbreaking new ideas and visions nobody else could grasp or even think of. They were the real pioneers of their time.

Today we never even hear of polymaths. They only belong to history. So where are they. There should be far more now than then based on stayistics in population increase. There are most likely many more now than then. But it can evidently look like that they are hiding and showing low profile. But do we know someone bold enough like e.g Tesla today? No we actually don't. Great things died with him and science has never gone any further than his visions and inventions. That's abit sad. Because think what a guy like Tesla could do today. With all the knowlege and info we have now easily accessable. We would expect a quantun leap greater than ever before. He would have been pretty badass. So what I wanted to say is where are the polymaths today? Why do they hide. Or did they just die with Tesla or Neuman?
