Polymathy

Well, recently i been searching about polymaths, and all the world around that word.
All this have started by thinking about my own style life, my interesting, and how all these stuff is seen in my own life, in my career. 

Starting defining what a polymath is, a person with several capacities, starving of knowledge, and proactive, who try to know as much as posible in several areas. In few words, A wonderful person! 

Even that polymaths sound like a type of the renaissance person, and Da vinci apear almost instantly in our minds, I want to know polymaths nowadays.
I find these TEDtalk talking about people with this characteristics and pleasures in the present, and how difficult is seen themselves in a specific career, or even a style life. I founded interesting and also helpful in the process of defining myself.(https://www.ted.com/talks/emilie_wapnick_why_some_of_us_don_t_have_one_true_calling) 

Then, I gota reflexion about the educational system in chile, and the society in general, where the place of future polymaths didn't have the good recognition or enough attention, even that nowadays everything is connected, and the problems we as society should go through, need people with these kind of all-topic knowledge, high mandatories didn't see in them a real helpful people, even more,  many times are confused by a problematic kind of people, because, you have to be an expert in some are, or you aren't productive.
Finally, even when it looks like a not really good scenery to these starving-knowledge people, i been motivated to try even harder to go through it, an try to be one polymath person or almost a kind of.

Something artistic I really like doing!

Hi there! If there's something i really love doing is all that involves colors and painting. I like to paint with watercolors and acrilycs and others if is the posibility. I've been painting and drawing since i have concious, but playing with acrylics I think almost 10 year ( wow, i didnt realize was that much!), and recently i been trying new art supplies and stuffs like watercolors and soft pastel. The thing I really like of painting and playing with colors its creating ideas from differents topics or knowledge, mixing ideas from biology,or physics laws, or from cooking, then a phrase of a book, or an interesting story someone told me, i like to mix all of this ideas and create an surresalistic scene or a character of it, like this half-onion half jellyfish with a cute bow tie. The artistic process sometimes came from music, I lay on my bed and I play on youtube some orchestra concert of shostakovich or prokofiev, some epic clasic music, that makes me feel in a terrible p...

Fiestas Patrias at the mountain.

Hi again. Well, at the begining of Fiestas Patrias me and some friends decide to go to Quimifonda, but at the end of the day we meet at the wrong place (we were like in the other side of santiago) so we couldnt go, but we arent really funs of fonda so we decide to just have time together. Thats was the only effort I give to do something typical or stuff like that. So, one of those days my family decide to went to Farellones like all years, to make sculpturs of snow,  to take advange of the last days of winter and hoping theres still some snow up at there. Like we supose theres no many snow, so we have to go up more the mountain to find good enough snow to sculpt. Every year we try to sculp something biger and better than the last year, this time was a really cool castle although when i want to make an animal like other times. We use some shovels and buckets to grow the structure and some screwdrivers to make details like bricks and windows. At the end of the day touris...

Passion of getting mind explosions.

Hi guys. Well, I want to talk about my passion of physics, a mind explosion topic. Yeah! Physics! Since i was a child I was interesting knowing how it works things, like the mechanics of clocks or stuff like that. I like taking out the small motors of the toy cars and transforming on a fan, i think i was quite an ax hands, poor toys!  I find so interesting physics because it explain many things that happen in our daily lifes, and knowing about that it helps many times to get things easlily, like carring stuff, or throwing things, the cook recipes, or... well many things! One topic I'm really interesting on it its termodynamics, because, it so cool seeing how some energy like heat becames a movement. Even when at school we didnt have many laboratoriums, or stuff to work, once we made a termodynamics machine from drink cans, thats was so so amazing so i will clip down below if you want to see it. Other stuff I am crazy about its optics and light, I mean learning about the differe...
