And no, I'm not talking about the "jack of all trades, masters of none" but being a specialist of a few or even some disciplines. Also does it matter in modern times? Since we have already the internet.

rejection of the modern construction of the real numbers as they are not logically consistant should be enough

Hard to tell.

That is no substitute for insight. The reason I am on 4ch is that I dropped most other sites where people thought a few seconds in Wikipedia was sufficient basis for a snappy comeback. More than once I was lectured about work I have done for over 10 years by people whose skill set did not exceed whatever they were paid for plus a weak command of double Dutch.

There's no known contradiction. He probably meant to say nonrigorous.

this is one of those bullshit threads where you're expecting people to tell you some magical formula like "All I did was read Dr. Cummerbund's Notes for polymaths" or "I drink a cup of beet juice mixed with my urine everyday and one day I woke up knowing galois fields!" Dude you know what it takes to be a polymath, stop looking for a fucking easy way.

>interest
>dedication
>time
>discipline

And I'm not going to lie, you're going to need to be of above average intelligence.
