@Eric, the video is above and on youtube. I’m not sure what the status of the slides’ availability is, but I’d argue that they’re not that powerful without Theo’s words to accompany them.
Fantastic talk. Many of us fail to take the ‘long-view’, and are forced to claim (or convince ourselves of our) expertise (especially the “expert” part) in order to get gigs.
Emphasizing that we are partaking of a craft is noteworthy.
I would very much like to get the video and slides of this presentation.
