Future University Education with Dr Raul V. Rodriguez of Woxsen University | Proof Of Work With Shiv Mehta Episode 13

Dr. Raul recently came on the Proof Of Work podcast for a thought-provoking discussion exploring topics like technology's impact on society, the essence of being human, innovations in education, geopolitics, and the cyclical nature of civilizations. His perspectives as an academic leader in India spanning technology, business, philosophy, and the human experience offered much food for thought.

Some highlights of our wide-ranging conversation included the culture shock Dr. Raul experienced when he first came to India as a student and his observations about differences in speed and ambition between the Indian and Spanish working environments.

We explored debates like whether corporations genuinely care about ethics versus profits and if social responsibility is just marketing. Dr. Raul outlined an inspiring vision for universities to develop critical thinkers and change-makers rather than focusing narrowly on jobs and placements.

Our dialogue touched on technology's impact on human psychology and critical thinking in this distracted age, the inevitability of death and finding meaning and purpose beyond status and wealth, and the origins of universities being knowledge creation and dissemination rather than job training.

I'm grateful Dr. Raul took the time to share his insights on The Proof Of Work Podcast. His perspectives across business, technology, geopolitics, philosophy, and the unfolding of the human condition left me reflecting on many great unsolved mysteries. (00:00) Intro
