He should fact-check
I got as far as the second lecture, in which he gave a precis of Elizabethan English history to explain the background for Hobbs. It appears that the professor didn't know the difference between Avignon and Aragon (Henry VIII's first wife was Catherine of Avignon) or between Mary I and Mary Queen of Scots (Mary I had to "resign" because she was so unpopular, but Elizabeth later had her executed!) These are only a few, (and some are on his powerpoints), not to mention that Hobbs wasn't really Elizabethan. I gave up on the course because i figured if he has these basic facts wrong, I couldn't trust anything he said! Maybe that's why he's teaching in Dubai now. I am surprised Yale keeps showing these lectures. On the other hand, my relatives in England had a good laugh.

His accent is a little difficult to understand at times but once you get used to it he's really a great presenter and the subject matter is interesting if you're philosophically inclined or simply recognize the worth of understanding where our ideas root from

Barely could understand what was being said during the second lecture. Stopped trying to listen.
