  • I feel this video should have been edited before publication.
  • @gamlerik1 what would you have chopped out?
  • @adycousins The phlegm? I did not mean to come across cross. :) I gave my two cents because I love your channel. Please don't stop the uploads. Thank you.
  • Respond to this video... @gamlerik1 Yeah, I considered removing that but he continues to talk through it and it would have meant removing/ hacking his response to the current revolutions in middle east, and as he says "old age is like an obstacle race"... It's partly about what he is saying but also about the physical / emotional aspect of him giving a lecture. My favourite bit is at the end where he listens to the prolonged applause.

  • Hehe, i read most of his work and books and this is the first time i hear him speak.
  • @adycousins quite right not to have edited out his physical struggle. I found it moving, and serves to underline the sharpness of his mind at a good old age.
  • @adycousins A legend!Thank you for upload Ady!
