Learning for the visually minded

RSA Animate – First as Tragedy, Then as Farce.

If, like me, you only really understand something when you understand it visually you will love the RSA Animate series of illustrated lectures. The one linked above is the philosopher Slavoj Žižek talking about how the new ethical consumerism perpetuates poverty and how charity in general can "demoralize and degrade". Check the RSA website for more, there is an excellent one from Mathew Taylor about 21st century enlightenment.
