In summary, autodidacts, or self-taught individuals, have the ability to achieve polymathy, or expertise in multiple subjects. This is due to their intrinsic motivation, self-directed learning, and ability to make connections between different disciplines. While formal education can provide structure and guidance, autodidacts have proven to be capable of acquiring diverse knowledge and skills through their own determination and passion for learning. However, success as a polymath also depends on one's learning approach, resources, and support system. Ultimately, autodidacts have the potential to reach a high level of polymathy, but it requires dedication and deliberate effort.
