Introducing the "Learning to Live" Lecture Series | Ep. 206

Author: Educated Guess May 13, 2021 Duration: 13:54

All summer long, we're bringing you the brightest minds in design, philosophy, and life. The bedrock of Educated Guess is the eternal pursuit of an integrated life--where life and art become one. So, this summer is dedicated to this exact aspiration. This episode gives more background on the purpose of the lecture series and what you stand to gain from sticking with us throughout the summer.

One more thing, we've partnered with multidisciplinary design studio Bodega, LTD (based in Minneapolis, MN). to bring you exclusive access to their new trend & philosophy experience--Salonnière. If you're a small business owner, creative director, or even freelancer, then you'll for sure love what they're bringing to the table. 

Unlike other research tools, Salonnière brings you the exact methods, frameworks, and insights Bodega has used for clients like Nike, HighSnobiety, and Business of Fashion. The same insights that marketing directors pay lump sums for are being brought to you for a fraction of the price.

What began as a public lecture series has evolved into a space for deep, meandering conversation. Educated Guess :: A Liberal Arts School for the Future extends the work of its parent research organization, which has always been preoccupied with how we live alongside our own creations-be they digital machines, pervasive images, or the sprawling cities we call home. This podcast picks up the thread from those original talks, which connected with tens of thousands of people worldwide, and delves further into the textures of design practice, the narratives of art history, and the ongoing project of personal growth. Each episode feels like a curated seminar for the curious, avoiding easy answers in favor of thoughtful exploration. You’ll hear discussions that examine why our built environments shape our behavior, how visual culture informs our understanding, and where the human element persists within increasingly automated systems. It’s a continuation of that foundational idea: a liberal arts education, unbound by campus walls, focused squarely on the forces designing our tomorrow. Tune in for a podcast that treats complexity as a feature, not a bug, and offers a genuinely educated guess at what comes next.
