(Diary)
Um… my formal training is in art history, theory, and criticism. One could say the philosophy or Art. For me it is a deep and precious education that not only framed my understanding mankind’s history through our arts, but gave me occasion to produce my first serious philosophical work in the analytic tradition: the objective valuation of art, at the ripe age of twenty.
I don’t really need anything other than books to learn any subject. I’ve learned pretty much everything in the human corpus through self study.
But we were taught even in our first years, using the seminar format. And I don’t see the value of that format disappearing. I just don’t see it. 90% of education can be converted to the equivalent of game software (simulation games). But that 10% that is only possible by sharing frontal cortices at the same time, in the same environment on the same subject — I don’t see how that can go away.
