#15 Art Is the Last Form of Human Agency (Why AI Can’t Replace It) | The Alpha Renaissance Podcast

In this episode of The Alpha Renaissance, host Taq Freeman sits down with Charles Philippe Jean-Pierre, a professor of Fine Arts at Howard University whose work explores identity, belonging, culture, and legacy through disciplined craft. We go deep on: How discipline (not inspiration) separates real creators from the crowd The hidden truth about code switching—and why it’s actually a form of intelligence The real risks of AI art, NFT scams, and how creators get exploited digitally Why mastery can’t be automated, even in a world of instant generation A powerful reframe of Black art and “blackness” as something global, layered, and often misunderstood Art as a form of meditation, meaning-making, and cultural preservation If you care about human agency, creativity, legacy, and the future of culture in a digital world—this conversation is for you. 📍Follow Charles: Instagram: @CJPGallery 📍Follow The Alpha Renaissance for more episodes on mastery, agency, and modern human performance.
