This was great. Learned a whole new area of thought here, chock full of interesting lines of thought leading away from it that seem worth pursuing.

You can tell Davidson has a deep respect for Freud! Very cool

Is this a recent or an old recording? The image looks great, but the audio is strangely muffled sounding.

Nevermind. I looked up that David Donaldson died in 2003. In that case this video is surprisingly, strangely maybe, is of very high quality.
