Holy cow, what an appearance! Eeek! The Jim references made me all giddy, especially when the audience applauded. And the gag with the drink was a clever example of creativity within puppetry. Kermit referencing Steve (or Steve making the audience aware of his prescence) was also amusing.

The content itself was quite insightful and really boasted my knowledge. It really didn't surprise me at all when Kermit mentioned Ken Wilbur with Steve being so invested in his theories.

Considering I was required to utilise creativity an hour later in my final Literature exam, the talk really boosted my confidence and all went well.

Thanks Kermit!

As both a Muppet fan and someone who's studies constantly revolve around creativity and philosophy, everything about this talk greatly pleases me!
