Wow, I clicked the link, expecting to simply take a peek and most likely not read or watch all the way through, and wound up sitting there watching the whole thing. I forgot I had anything else to do for those 20 or so minutes. Excellent talk, it was!
But I do have to mention one thing, something that has intrigued me for ages. His pronunciation of the word Africa at the 17 second mark sounds like "africar" or maybe "africur". Can you hear it? I've heard many people with British accents put an ar or ur sound at the end of words that end in a, and it's always fascinated me. I wonder what's behind that...
