After watching this video I'm actually quite happy guys like this exist, as long as they are just advisors rather than rule setters.

If you relays, on your minds, anything you see, forced you, to focus, for better understanding, of the subject’s, and no rush and find, the best probability that possible.

Turn off the inane background music! It’s incredibly irritating and I couldn’t listen to more than about four minutes.

What is wrong with you people at The Institute of Art and Ideas?? That repetitive awful music distracts from what Craig is saying. Don't you understand that?? Very unprofessional production crew you have there. That obnoxious two measures music repeats, and then repeats, and then repeats, and then repeats, and then repeats, and then repeats, and then repeats. Please hire professionals.
