Last night I spoke about the Three Es to a large audience in the Grand Committee Room of the UK Parliament, which was indeed very grand.
I was told it was the largest audience they’d had so far in the series, and the questions afterwards came steadily, until we had to close things off. Because this was the one of only two openly public events on my tour, we had quite a few Crash Course watchers in the audience. I am very glad they were there, because a packed room indicates interest, which means politicians might take a different notice of the material than they otherwise would.
I am not at all clear on who was in the room, in terms of politicians, but I am speculating that there were a few in the audience.
The building itself, though I think I only saw a tiny piece of it, is extraordinary, huge, impressive, and very old. To get in, I had to begin by standing at the end of a queue of ~200 people to go through security, which involved a metal detector and a visitor’s badge with my picture on it.
Because this talk was very close to the prior ones I had given, it was an immense luxury to at least know what slides were coming next. It all still comes out fresh, or so I am told. I always use slightly different phrases and sometimes add more to a section or take some away in response to
