The lecture lasted about 82 minutes in total. The lecture was held on November 1, 2018, at the Japan Youth Hall in Tokyo, sponsored by the National Community Center Association. He also spoke at the symposium that followed. As mentioned in the lecture, the symposium that followed will be streamed at a later date.
