Have only listened to 10 minutes of this video so far, but it seems pretty good. I am giving it a temporary recommend, which I may later revise to a "highly recommend" after finishing it. You can start the talk at 7 minutes and skip the first introductory remarks. You may want to watch this a little at a time if it is convenient for you. It looks to be about 70 minutes.
