John Baez (Feb 11 2021 at 19:52):I really can't stand watching talks online myself, or videos, but this subject is all the rage so I thought someone might be interested.
John Baez (Feb 11 2021 at 19:52):If I watched a talk I didn't absolutely have to, this would be the one.
John Baez (Feb 11 2021 at 19:54):(I'm helping run the UCR colloquia so I have to watch those talks, and I'm teaching 3 courses at UCR so I have to watch those.)
