The narrative can be as thick as a 40 oz trump porterhouse. Still the course is dense, humorous, informative, witty and fun. As always, distrust a single source, listen with care, be skeptical, think for yourself and seek confirmation. You'll learn a lot and have a good time. That's the whole point.

So exciting to understand that all of this has happened in real world. It was better than watching any TV series! :) Thank you for the great course!
