i feel like most ppl in theory agree that the lecture is a dead pedagogical tool and yet every conference i go to still plays the ‘important person on stage’ vs. ‘listeners in seats’ game i’m curious who’s experimenting with new interior design for new types of conversation

Frankly for any deep topic where I know little , I’d rather shut up, stay in my seat and listen to someone on stage who knows what they’re talking about. Which is not to say I don’t also like other formats for other things.

I'd rather watch them + motion graphics on a video at home. If I go to a conference, I want to talk with people. If I go to school, I want to talk with people.

I'm pretty close to Aaron's view though. I think the big talk as knowledge transfer is pretty dead. Teachers, etc. survive because of interaction, which is why the "flipped classroom model" is being tried.

I’ll take that long bet
Person on stage is lindy

I think its major relevance should be in true oration, but that's a pretty dying art anymore - especially in the stale American political scene.
