He must be a History Major because I attained a lot of skills from my Liberal Arts Degree to everyone’s chagrin; computer skills, writing, communicating, analyzing, critical thinking, observing, resolution, synthesizing, thinking for my self, qualitative and quantitative measurement, organizational behaviour, marketing, the list goes on and on and on, etc.

This is a WOW Talk!! Spread the consciousness of the power of narratives worldwide!!

Courage to be multi-dimensional in a world that strives to make us one dimensional and all it takes is sharing our stories! Brilliant!

Well done. We do live in a world where individualization, self-promotion and concrete-thinking has become prioritized over self-actualization, the sharing of narratives and diversity of thought.

Wow. Brilliant and evocative. Keep bringing that wise truth, Mr. Pollack.

Fabulous! what a wonderful and entertaining way to see the power of story!

I am floored by this amazingly, thoughtful and authentic talk! Thank you.

Dear Judah, a beautiful story shared with depth-- the 3rd dimension as you say, the inclusion of life experience. It's not just a pretty story. I liked how you articulated the crossing of science and religion -both in search of answers/certainty. I also loved how you described your experience at Frolic - the all night dance party in the woods of Northern California - your dark wood til dawn! Yes, I've been to that place and time. Thank you!

Hi Judah, I've seen you present and speak before at APTi and BAAPT but I never knew you were such a great writer and story teller. I like the message, that until you let people see your scars and your failures, they don't really know you. So many people only want to present that one dimensional "successful self" that you speak of. So we can never really know them. To not be known is truly sad.

Great talk Judah!

Judah, this is a fascinating talk! Kudos from the Philippines! :-)

Inspiring.

He is engaging and his speech really made me listen to him and to love him as a speaker and as a person. He is really good in speeches and telling stories. His understanding of the world fascinates me, and when he talks about history, literature, neuroscience, and humanity, it just reminds me the connection and need of both the sciences and humanties or liberal arts in one's life. I love science, it really fascinates me. I love taxonomy, ideas about paleontology, and how our body works. Science is my favorite subject back then, but my mind changed in high school when I started to love drama, visual arts, culture, and history especially during those times when I am having troubles undergoing changes due to puberty and when I am becoming more aware of myself and of the world I live in. By studying the arts deeply into aesthetics and philosophy to psychology and perception, it ended in how our body works and how our brain and mind functions to see colors, to think about beauty, to perceive, to make sense. I am so glad that my country doesn't take the humanities and liberal arts out of our curriculum and it even expands these. Now, music and arts are not just taught as separate subjects in 4th Grade but starting at 1st Grade. Our education department also offers special program curricula in arts and sports as well as in journalism and writing. It also expanded in offering specializations for high school students in their senior high years to choose a career path preparation, and one of it is towards arts and design and the creative industries, one about general academic education or general liberal arts, one about sports science and athlete development, one about accounting and business, one about STEM, one about technical-vocation courses, and one about humanities and social sciences. Also, all degrees in college whether in arts, humanities, or sciences do all need to take general courses from varied fields like social science, philosophy, language arts, humanities/arts, mathematics, physical education, national service, and natural sciences. Our colleges and universities are also supportive to the liberal arts, fine arts, and humanities education, and ideas about society, culture, history, and politics are all seen as important in our daily lives. For me, all academic fields, professions, and technical skills are important to us, whether liberal arts or humanities or the sciences, as we gain more ideas, develop and make more technologies, as we increase our knowledge of our world and universe, as we interact each other in our societies and in our world as a whole, and as we stay and remain human beings who are social beings, have emotions, need of belonging, who think for one's own self and others, who belong to a culture, and who still have memories of past, awareness of present, and hope and desire for future.

Man! Awesome!

Brilliant speech

I gained so many tools to draw on, my tool box is draw dropping full, causes envy.

What is Judah doing now? Not able to locate any recent videos or activity on SM...

What a legend ♥️

Liberal Arts Really do Help a person to Explore Alot and if we dont share our story with someone we will not truly be seen ( Well said by Judah )

Great video! You should check out the The Art of Charm Podcast, episode where Judah Pollack was invited together with Olivia Fox Cabane, to speak about their new book: The Net and the Butterfly: The Art and Practice of Breakthrough Thinking. It is AWESOME!

Oh look it's the art police

That taliban comment tho.

I liked the speech. I graduated from humanities and already had this perspective after reading from various fields and understanding how the world functions from looking around. At the same time, I have to point out that studying the liberal arts the way they are done at humanities and social sciences departments was the apanage of well-to do people who had time and resources to focus on just thinking. It was a privilege and it was also done in a more holistic manner, meaning that people rarely studied only philosophy, but rather various sciences together with the arts. I don't think it is fair/moral to take people from poor or middle class or even upper middle class backgrounds, sell them on spending years of their most formative period in life just "studying" theoretical things with no practical application, at least not immediately and saddling them with enormous debt afterwards which sets them back in life even with 10-20 years financially because the theory they studied does not translate into an actual job afterwards. I have discovered that some of the things I did at college level could have been done at high school level if I had gone to a better high school, where teachers actually did their job and if students actually read. The other things that are more detailed and that required more critical analysis did help me form a specific way of looking at things, but they weren't applied to something that is actually translatable into a career path and that would help me gain money. What is the point of that? It's a few years of your life wasted on something that is essentially a hobby. Another aspect is that many of the college students who go this route are just plain mediocre and shouldn't be in college at all. It's clear many universities are just treating students as clients buying a diploma. These students come with huge gaps from high school, evidence being the large percentage who need remedial classes. If you want to actually make enough money to live a decent life, then you have to start learning some real skills and this takes another few years just to get started. By all means, if you are privileged and can afford to not learn anything practical until you are 24-25 years old, that's fine, but a lot of the students who go into humanities/social sciences come from poorer backgrounds and they were sold the lie that more education would help them get out of poverty, specifically more degrees. Reading interesting things is nice, but you soon find out that what's even nicer is having a steady pay-check that affords you a comfortable life. The biggest lie of all is that you "need" college when in reality you can learn many of the skills that will make you employable immediately after high school as most jobs really don't need college level intelligence. It's not about the value of a liberal arts education, it's about admitting that most people are not privileged enough to sit around and jus think, instead of actually contributing practically to society. In itself, a liberal arts education is a self-centered endeavor instead of an activity that is geared towards giving something to society. There isn't much demand, unless we think of entertainment.

@@ntshaupamojela259 It's not real criticisism if you can't bring arguments about actual ideas from my comment. Maybe people need or don't need stories, but people need to pay because those writing them also need to eat, sleep, buy clothes etc.. If you aren't paying for it, your comment doesn't make sense. Plus not all people can sit around to invent stories. Some, most, need to do the basic stuff for survival,like farming, building roads and houses, producing clothes, being doctors etc.
