I was there and have to say I quite enjoyed the talk overall and would recommend to watch it if
you're interested but let me just tell you about one particular moment here.
The hall was loaded with attendees eager to listen in, chairs were moved from the hall next door
to accommodate the sudden influx of people but even then people had to stand all the way to the
back. I particulary remember when he started speaking about.. well let's say his motives and
beliefs starting at 50m56s up to 52m53s. The audience was captivated. If someone would have dropped
a needle there you'd hear it, that's how silent everybody was. There were full rows of journalists
typing eager on their keyboard at all times but I saw nobody type here, they all were listening to
what he said. It was quite.. surreal - in loss of a better word[1] - to look around me, seeing every
single attendee listening so closely to what he said.
[1] Not a native speaker, not sure how to express myself here but I thing you get the gist.
