How do I actually get smart? There are some people that I meet who seem to just be extremely smart and know everything about everything, and very deeply. I want to be a polymath. I want to have an impressive understanding of economics, algebra, neuroscience, history, topology, computer science and more. What do I do? The main trends that I notice about these people is that they rarely sleep, have some liquid vice like coffee or coke, and rarely leave online chat rooms. Any advice anons?
