Chiefio delivers…

But first. What the hell is Polymath Truth?

Brave.

The polymath truth is the concept that genius and exceptional achievement are not innate traits reserved for a select few, but are instead driven by intense curiosity and the ability to connect disparate ideas. Rather than being defined by deep expertise in a single narrow field, a polymath is characterized by their refusal to silo knowledge, allowing them to recognize patterns across boundaries and synthesize insights from multiple domains.

Key aspects of this perspective include:

Curiosity over Credentialism: True polymathy is about what you chase and how you see connections, rather than simply accumulating facts or awards.
Pattern Recognition: The core superpower of a polymath is seeing how different fields echo each other, modeling systems, and translating complexity into clarity.
Creative Synthesis: Polymaths create by letting inputs from diverse areas collide, resulting in novel solutions and insights that specialists might miss.
Action-Oriented: It is not just about knowing many things, but about applying that broad knowledge to solve specific problems and generate innovation.

Back to Chiefio.

Globalist GroupThink & “Consensus” vs Polymath Truth

Globalism requires a “shared vision” or a kind of Group-Think. Polymaths do not.

I don’t find this presenter particularly compelling (she plays with her hair a lot, and hesitates at the limits of her training), but does cite published literature on the topic and seems to have understanding of it). Her basic exposition is that Polymaths (people with skill and understanding in multiple domains of knowledge) are resistant to Group-Think while many (most?) others are not.

I think I have seen that in real life (rather too often…)

It also explains some of my social interactions as I am a polymath, don’t do group-think, and have often got “the hairy eyeball” from a group of agreed people when I point to something that shows them wrong. (Covid, The Jab, Global “Warming” and a long list at work over the decades). What I see as “Keeping a Tidy Mind” where new assertions must integrate with the proven body of knowledge spanning multiple domains – such as Geologic History which “Global Warming” ignores… they see as an attack on The Consensus.

Where this leads me to ponder

There are a few ponderings that come from this.

1) To what extent is Globalism a case of Group-Think?

2) Have the sociopaths at the very top learned to harness Group-Think to promote Globalism?

3) Is that why the “Leaders In Charge” seem more like the “Idiots In Charge” since they were selected by the sociopaths for their submission to the Group-Think Narrative being pushed from the top? (Think Klaus Schwab to the WEF hoard of followers / “leaders” to be…)

4) Is this why so many of the Best & Brightest who call out Bull Shit in The Narrative get attacked and smeared by said apparatus? The Sociopaths at the top pushing to “name & shame” (or Dox & Destroy…) them via using their “Idiots in Charge” (and their “useful idiot follower hoards – Antiffa, BLM, etc.) for the attacks. Those in a Group-Think Consensus Group absolutely hate anyone in the out-group showing they are wrong. They can’t accept being shown stupidly wrong.

5) Is this also why the push for Boss Babes? Women are MUCH more interested in “consensus” and “agreement”, so would naturally push for expulsion of the Polymaths and adoption of the Group-Think Narrative. Plus, a Female Sociopath is far more sinister (vicious?) in their attacks and quite indirect in their revenge. So put Ursala at the top as the sociopath manipulator, then Kaja Kallas falls in line easily without thinking.

I asked Brave Browser “Women leaders of the EU” and the A.I. answered:

Four women currently hold the five most powerful positions in the European Union, leading a significant shift toward gender parity in the bloc’s top institutions.

The current female leaders are:

Ursula von der Leyen: President of the European Commission (since 2019, re-elected 2024).

Roberta Metsola: President of the European Parliament (second term secured in 2024).

Christine Lagarde: President of the European Central Bank (since 2019).

Kaja Kallas: High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (appointed 2024, succeeding Josep Borrell).

The only male in this top tier is Antonio Costa, the President of the European Council. Von der Leyen has been named the world’s most powerful woman by Forbes four consecutive years (2022–2025) and has actively pushed for gender parity in her Commission team, appointing women to six of the eight top vice-presidency roles in her second term.

AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.

I note in passing that “gender parity” in Ursela’s POV means ONE man in five top rolls and TWO men out of 8 at the next tier. So 5:1 and 3:1 women over men. Yeah, that’s “parity” all right… /snark;

Is the whole “meritocracy bad” and DIE Diversity Inclusion Equity based on race and gender due to this? The desire to put more “Group-Think” prone folks in authority and exclude the Polymath who disrupts the Group-Think and derails the Narrative Railroad?

I find it an interesting frame for looking at these questions, even if I can’t provide any definitive answers.

BUT it does seem to fit all the known facts. And, putting on my Sociopath Emulator Hat: it sure looks to me like, were I a socipath at the top, I’d NOT want a widely knowledgeable polymath who would fight me on The Narrative (of deception?) I was pushing, and I would want a lot of emos under me who would just follow my lead and conform to group pressure…

https://study.com/learn/lesson/emo-subculture-traits.html

What is an emo person like?
An emo person tends to be quiet, introspective or shy, and can be creative. They spend time alone or with people who share their interests listening to music or making emo-influenced art. They have deep emotions but aren’t always only angry or sad.

One also wonders if the Gay Guy stereotype comes into play here too. More emotional, less likely to be a polymath. More into music, art, clothes and other “girly stuff”… just a speculation / question. It would be amusing to look into group-think vs polymath tendency by social group with gender & “orientation” as markers.

In Conclusion

So there you have it. Insight of the day, but consisting more of questions than answers.

But it sure points toward more conformance to “all the known facts” than “doesn’t fit”…

WHY the hell is gas double OR more, than it was one year ago, in the USA?

VDH gives part of the answer. But neglects to speak of Lloyd’s, London, Chuckles…

OFF The Wall?

What IF IRGC is not attacking tankers in the Strait of Hormuz?
What if Strait of Hormuz tanker attacks are rooted in one or more of: Lloyd’s, London, Chuckles, EU, NATO…WEF Globalists.
