Have you seen HBO's John Adam series? It's a great mini-series based on McCollough's biography of him. You see him be a lawyer, work with Jefferson and Franklin, and raise his family.
As an autodidact and an aspiring polymath, this piece of yours felt like a breath of fresh air! You have aptly delineated the feeling of fascination and excitement when one realizes one’s ignorance against the vast expanse of the knowledge we have around us!
Glad Sam, you highlighted Adam’s , his acknowledged self- ignorance drove him back to the older writers. Another great book Education Of A Wandering Man

Yes! I've seen it multiple times. Such a great show.
Very well written
Thank you!
Love this kind of analysis, Adam’s was certainly prolific! You’ve got a new subscriber, looking forward to more deep dives like this!
He really was a straight up lunatic, in the best way possible. Thanks for reading and subscribing, David!
Very cool. I've been wanting to research more about John Adam's. He seems to be less talked about among the founding father's brotherhood.
McCullough’s biography is a great place to start! I also love the HBO show John Adams.
Very cool. Thanks :)

It can be paralyzing can’t it?!
