Humane Arts: Conversation

[@algernondammassa8675]

Stumbled over these by accident and I am really appreciating them. Thanks.

[@gnacho2003]

Such a useful talk. I would always try to prove my point or disprove that of my friend’s, which only leads to ruffled feathers or talking of inanities for fear of offending someone. But no longer! I’m looking forward to conversing genially with my friends.

[@cathybrelsford4365]

Excellent lecture! I have learned a lot from all your lectures. Thank you!

[@markwade2346]

excellent presentation. Wes is lively with a flair for the humorous side of education. Easy to listen to and learn!

[@jasminejeanine2239]

The best way to sum up the talk is ppl often don't realize they're having a conversation but instead think that anything you may add negates what they said. Thus they're going to war on the other person who's ONLY desire is to HELP by adding their experience and Interpretation as if my experience in any way negates there's just bc it's different. OF COURSE it's different bc I'm NOT them that's the entire pt of having a conversation to begin with.

I did make this point, though it was a little blurry in my mind at the time. It is contradictory to argue that all products are poisoned!!! And I did fail to make the following implication. There exist machines, hardware, that extract the poison from food, okay?? Or a process such like grinding coffee using special machines, that extracts the poison from coffee!!! It is in the Knowledge Base. Everything is in this wonderful Knowledge Base!!!

Done - thanks for the degree, Wes xxx

[@jacquelynnegarner]

i am totally in love with Wes Cecil. he is like the male version of me. like, multiple choice questions--give me a break! ii want to do his horoscope. i won't say why because then i would have to explain and this is a short comment. love al his lectures

[@kerrywooten9878]

Brilliant as always. (But I wonder if "sitting at the feet of" implies a dialogue). This lecture is in praise of symposium style, dialectical mode of talk,- and in teaching, he decries the wall to wall barricades of multiple choice, which is a method that forecloses exploration, being all truncated facts. The extreme right And left both live behind such barricades, weirdly. Bring back the drinking party of free exploratory discussions among equals!

[@michaelkrompa7829]

fantastic channel!

[@ocamtille9114]

As always very enlightening and hilarious

Correction: There are TWO free-response essays on the Graduate Record Exam.

This is one of my favorite of your lectures. I do wish that you hadn't used the racial slur as an example. It is ironic, given the topic of the lecture, but it limits the number of people I can share this with. Would it be possible to upload an edited version that I could share with a wider audience?

[@hinteregions]

No, those people of yours are the ones doing the limiting. I do hope you have given up on helping them broaden their outlook.

[@elrathJohnson]

@@hinteregions Thanks for the response! I think i understand your meaning, but I disagree with your approach of wanting everything to be acceptable. While I agree with you in circumstances where clear consent has been established, I also believe that taboo words arise naturally in human speech. Because of this, if we share the goal of educating and informing, we should cultivate the skill of adapting our ideas' presentation around the taboos of an audience.

[@hinteregions]

@@elrathJohnson That is probably about the opposite of any approach that I might make, were I inclined to make any. I think you have not taken my meaning. But then I see in your last sentence you appear to be suggesting we can 'workaround' woke. I disagree with your approach which I would describe as 'kidding oneself.' If you are afraid to show 'your people' something so very anodyne as this, then you are pandering to woke, and so are woke else lack courage, and are the problem, and that is no 'alternative fact' and I do not share your 'goal,' educator. 'Consent,' what on earth are you babbling about? And just out of curiosity, what would you consider to be an instance of a taboo word arising 'unnaturally'? That is asinine. Incidentally, this video was published around eight years prior to your extraordinary request for a 'sanitised' version. Have a nice identity I mean day.

[@uluvjordan]

He could have made the same point differently. Especially with the hard R. Still enjoy his sessions tremendously.

[@zimms5968]

extraordinaire comme toujours !

[@AudioPervert1]

thank you ...this is important today ...

[@kabbalisticteddy]

While certain indecent vibes that we do get all the time are due to.... air-conditioning malfunctions in our bedroom, likely while we sleep. Cancer is due to that too. Certain catalysts that we do intake, in conjunction with radiation.

[@flaviafontes1370]

Thank you for this great lecture.

[@buttonsplaymusic4896]

Good one, Cecil

[@Terrykaminski]

Excellent lecture

[@jamesfranco7613]

how about you guy comment what you learned or what you found was inspirational be or a summary I think he'll appreciate it more and you'll help new people coming to this video committee to watching this video which help him

[@mjcard]

The Futurists were all in for war. Umberto Boccioni, Joseph Stella, etc. the loved the idea of it and loved it entirely. And some think thy were great artists.

[@chaosdwarf406]

Quality of art and personal qualities of the artists are not the same. Beethoven and Wagner were by all accounts rotten apples, yet all the same both produced fantastic work that has stood the test of time. In time, all associated intentions, contemporary disputes and controversies fade, and only the pure art remains, its previous connotations evaporated like morning mist. That's in general. In particular, I'd never call futurism a good art style.

[@kabbalisticteddy]

I am unable to speak properly due to the poisonous food I do intake, and yes, there exist other factors too. Many others. But yes, I do take a break once in a while due to the pork I do eat, and the hormones the animal was fed... And slowly but surely I start being convinced what I do is perfectly fine, okay?? Sorry, this wasn't supposed to be J.S. Mill :)

[@apiu1001]

Funny and smart.

[@JML689]

subtitles please?

@30 minutes, oh boy this is so pre-Trump
