Just got around to listening. What an incredible presentation from an excellent speaker and real human being. I’m so glad these lectures are being made available – there are several very interesting ones. Heads up to anyone else who listens to this one before you take 6 pages of notes: near the end he says that a hard copy of the speech will be provided to the audience, so anyone who can get that can just sit back and enjoy.
Thank you. I see there’s a wealth of material there already that will keep me off the streets and out of trouble for a while!
