What I love about this, and about Monty Python and all their predecessors and descendants, is that it takes a heavy subject and gets it away from the heavy academic seriousness of it all. As much as it is important to get into the heavy discussions, it is nice to be able to not take ourselves so seriously and view these topics through a humorous lens. Makes it so much more accessible. Dr. Goswami is so much more approachable because he seems to be able to see the humor of the universe and I personally appreciate that.

I love it! :^D Thank you for sharing this clip, Ri. I’m going to watch it again.
I’m not a soccer fan, but applying U.S. football rules to that clip, the Greeks scored against their own goalie. Is that cricket?
That´s hilarious, Ri! Confucius as a referee was just icing on the cake. Three cheers for the unbeatable British sense of humour! 🙂
