陈花: Honey, did you see Professor 刘永谋's interview? He said that liberal arts that don't adapt to the times should cut enrollment. I think that's too extreme.
黄刚: I actually think he makes a good point. With AI developing so rapidly, traditional liberal arts do face challenges and need to adjust.
陈花: But I teach English. If it's also considered 'useless,' what will teachers like me do?
黄刚: It's not that liberal arts are useless; they just need to be reformed to be 'useful in a big way.' For example, your English class could focus on new needs in the AI era, like cross-cultural communication or integrating language with technology.
陈花: Now that you put it that way, I kind of agree. I've noticed that students now care more about 'practical' knowledge, not just memorizing content.
黄刚: Exactly. 刘永谋 mentioned that future disciplines shouldn't be so clearly divided but should be organized around real-world problems to better adapt to change.
陈花: But traditionally, our country has placed so much importance on liberal arts. As soon as you mention cutting enrollment, people criticize it as if you're destroying cultural roots.
黄刚: Of course, culture is important, but times are changing. Like he said, you can't just rely on 'reading a few more books than others' as a competitive edge anymore.
陈花: Hearing your analysis, I actually feel that reforming liberal arts is an opportunity, not a threat. If we adapt, there might even be room to expand enrollment.
黄刚: Exactly. We educators need to catch up with the times and not be left behind by technology. A reformed liberal arts program can truly serve a greater purpose.
