Judith Butler, "Democracy and the Future of the Humanities," 04/12/2024 Dec 23, 2024 This video is an edited version of Judith Butler's talk, “Democracy and the Future of the Humanities,” given on December 4, 2024, during their visit to South Korea. This lecture explores the connection between democracy, imagination, and the humanities. Butler examines how young people's fears about the future - from climate change to economic precarity - reflect a crisis in our collective ability to imagine better possibilities.
The talk argues that democracy requires the ability to imagine alternative futures and the critical thinking skills fostered by the humanities. Butler analyzes how anti-democratic movements often construct phantasms that scapegoat vulnerable groups while simultaneously attacking higher education and intellectual inquiry.
Butler connects these themes to questions of whose lives are considered grievable in our society, arguing that grief and recognizing interdependency are essential for true democracy. The lecture concludes by defending the humanities as crucial for developing the "collaborative imagining" needed to address current crises and envision more equitable futures.
This timely discussion brings together political theory, cultural criticism, and defense of humanistic education to address urgent questions about democracy's future in an age of rising authoritarianism and environmental crisis.

Stocks closed in the red Friday as investors weighed upbeat remarks from Russian President Vladimir Putin about diplomatic discussions with Ukraine against a weaker-than-expected print on U.S. consumer sentiment. The regulator said it has been undertaking several campaigns to educate the investors to be vigilant while taking investment decisions based on stock tips. Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform. "We're seeing really dramatic moves, and it's all really tied to Ukraine right now, and in a secondary way, in terms of interest rates," Octavio Marenzi, CEO of Opimas, told Yahoo Finance Live on Thursday. "This war in Ukraine is going to give the Fed the ammunition, the cover that it needs, to not raise interest rates too quickly. And I think Jay Powell is a very tepid sort of inflation fighter and he's not going to do as much as he needs to do to get that under control. And this seems like an excuse to kick the can further down the road still and not do too much too soon." Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I securing it from?” These questions should inform your decisions about whether you are using the right tool or platform for your digital security needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure messaging app on the market right now. Its security model requires users to place a great deal of trust in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For some users, this may be good enough for now. For others, it may be wiser to move to a different platform for certain kinds of high-risk communications.
