In this inaugural class, the speaker outlines the semester's learning framework, emphasizing critical thinking over rote memorization. The course will explore the past, present, and future through the lens of geopolitics to uncover hidden histories and power dynamics. The speaker challenges conventional understandings of money, happiness, and education, suggesting that concepts like scarcity and individual agency are illusions perpetuated by those in power to maintain control. The course aims to empower students to augment their imagination, question established narratives, and understand how societal structures influence their perceptions and actions, ultimately seeking liberation from manipulation through a deeper understanding of power.
