It’s a brilliant idea: a lecture by a cool modern thinker, illustrated by word-by-word doodles on a whiteboard. Excellent at pulling you along the train of thought and absolutely disallowing boredom.
The lectures’ content is pretty great too, although there’s a definite left-wing, populist bent that’s exploting today’s post-crisis hot button issues (they got Zizek, for god’s sake) - some might not like it. Regardless, it’s all very amusing and enlightening. Been linked to before in a comment or to, but it deserves a headline.
