> I am the current living counterexample

I’m sure you are very knowledgeable in a good variety of fields and I genuinely don’t mean the following comment as a snub but I’d wager you know a lot less than you think you do. In my experience people who claim to understand something, generally don’t. And those who claim ignorance tend to know more than they let on.

The problem with knowledge is that the more you learn, the more you realise you don’t know anything at all.

So if you believe you’re capable of understanding all of human knowledge, then I question how deeply you’re studying each field.

Good luck with your endeavours. I at least respect your ambitions, even though I don’t agree with some of your claims.
