# Keltham's Lectures in Project Lawful

*(Not an April fools' joke)*

If anyone wants to return to one of Keltham's lectures, here's a list with links to all the lectures. In principle, one could also read these without having read the rest of [Project Lawful aka Planecrash](https://www.projectlawful.com/), I am not sure how easy it would be to follow though. I included short excerpts, so you can also find the sections in the [e-book](https://www.mikescher.com/blog/29/Project_Lawful_ebook).

Happy reading/listening:
