The Delusion of Passion | Ep. 214

Author: Educated Guess July 15, 2021 Duration: 10:53

Most people believe that passions are the impetus for everything we are now. We determine our success as an artist by how closely aligned to our "passions" we seem to be. Yet, why is it that when we feel aligned, we still are still desiring something more? 

In this lecture, we'll cover the delusions of following one's passion.

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.
