Any true hacker could be seen as an "aspiring polymath" at the very least. I don't dare call myself a hacker, but I am an aspiring one :)

Precisely. I am also amazed by the very fact that people chose multi-disciplines to pursue their interests. And with what results? The results are beautiful when you marry non-allied fields. I don't know whether I am reading too much between the lines, but Mark Zuckerberg is supposed to be a lover of classical literature. Isn't there a tiny connecting dot answering how did he happen to get hit by the idea connecting people and what they would like, inspite of being a near-solitary person.
