I liked the part at 1:28:15. I recently had a brief discussion with Kay on Quora about this, though it was re. how to bring foreign objects off the internet into a hypothetical OO internet browser (www.quora.com/How-could-the-web-have-been-developed-following-Alan-Kays-vision-of-a-browser-being-a-mini-operating-system-and-not-just-an-application/answer/Mark-Miller-89). My concern had to do with some examples I'd seen of objects causing destructive things to happen with other objects, even with all OO principles being implemented, and assuming that memory protection wasn't an issue. He suggested I look at what Mark S. Miller has done re. object capabilities for implementing security policies. Miller has some videos on RUclips about that, giving examples using an OO scheme in JavaScript. It looks to be good stuff.
Boy, you were exactly the right person to ask about "Other Talks by Alan Kay" ! !!
Thanks a lot for all these uploads Yoshiki, they're extremely insightful and motivating.
Do you perhaps know what book Alan holds up at around 46:40?
