Tidak Cocok untuk Industri, Ilmu Sosial dan Humaniora Ditutup? Ini Salah Besar! | Prof. Al Makin

#WonderhomePodcast #AlMakin #humanities in collaboration with @almakin1222 Should universities always be subject to industry needs? Should study programs that aren't directly absorbed by the job market really be closed? In this episode of the Wonderhome Podcast, Dr. Syifa Amin discusses with Prof. Dr. Phil. H. Al Makin, S.Ag., M.A., former Rector of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, the future of higher education, social sciences and humanities, philosophy, AI, and the reading crisis in Indonesia. Prof. Al Makin emphasizes that education cannot be measured solely by how quickly someone enters the workforce. Universities are not merely the "long arm of industry." Education is a long-term endeavor to develop human resources, civilization, critical thinking, and the courage to think. This conversation also explores why social sciences and humanities remain important in the era of artificial intelligence, why students need to read and understand, why philosophy and the history of civilization need to be taught, and how this nation often forgets its own thinkers. From the issue of study program closures, AI and students, the Prophets of the Archipelago, Gus Dur, Cak Nur, Buya Syafii Maarif, to criticism of the decline in the intellectual quality of leaders, this episode serves as an important reflection on the direction of Indonesian education today. Watch until the end to understand why science, the humanities, philosophy, and intellectual traditions should not be sacrificed for the sake of short-term industrial logic.
