News Analysis; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) studied 6,000 years of Human Endeavor and determined which Individuals were Most Famous; objectively, Fame Remains For Those Who Used Their Brain.
Rather than giving Lasting Fame to those who know ‘More and More About Less And Less’ (as in much of Academia today- Ph.D.’s); those who “Learned More and More About More and More” are the Most Famous. These “Men of Wide Perspective” obviously dedicated themselves to learn “Many Things About Many Things; “Generalist Specialists” rather than “Specialist Specialists” some people may declare.
To learn Many Varied Subjects In Depth, while Mentally Difficult to Accomplish, allows One to truly “Think Outside the Box”; no ‘Mental Myopia’ for that person. The typical Constraints of Ideation Subjectivity are broken apart.
These most Famous People of 6,000 Years apparently understood this Ancient Axiom for the Benefit of Humanity: “Attempt to Learn Everything About Everything”.
Reality.
