Thanks for the upload. Good talk. I don't know much more than what he says here, but I disagree with his emphasis on providence of information- knowing where information came from. It is probably a separate issue with journalism and the sciences, but in the arts it really doesn't matter at all. In fact, the less I know of an original source in the arts, the more I am interstedted in finding more.
