What an amazing body of work, so beautifully presented. The part around 25:00 reminds me of something I heard once -- that physicist Richard Feynman (pioneer of quantum electrodynamics) said. When historian Charles Weiner looked over a pile of Richard Feynman’s notebooks, he called them a wonderful ‘record of his day-to-day work’. “No, no!”, Feynman objected strongly. “They aren’t a record of my thinking process. They ARE my thinking process. I actually did the work on the paper.” “Well,” Weiner said, “The work was done in your head, but the record of it is still here.” “No, it’s not a record, not really. It’s working. You have to work on paper and this is the paper. Okay?”, Feynman explained.
I was at this presentation at the National Gallery that day. I had the great fortune of interviewing Nick on a little radio show I had. And I use this book in as many of my college courses as I can. This book changes my students' lives.
There are few missing words at 20:04 which are: "Situationist's international dérive". It would be great adding them! Thank you for this btw, ciao da Napoli, Italia

How did it change your studies?
