Opening with a discussion of "The Children of the Forest" and their (evident) religious significance given GRRM's prior writing, e.g., in "A Song for Lya". In general, I state my opposition to Preston Jacobs's interpretation of GRRM as "pro-Communist" and "pro-loss-of-individuality" —precisely the same stories (from ASOIAF itself to "A Song for Lya") can and should be interpreted that opposite way (GRRM doesn't put forward "the moral of the story" as a simple statement in the protagonist's mouth). This channel does, indeed, have an ASOIAF playlist (11 videos so far): https://www.youtube.com/user/HeiJinZhengZhi/playlists A.S.O.I.A.F. = "A Song of Ice and Fire", i.e., the books of George R.R. Martin (G.R.R.M.), also known under the title "Game of Thrones", used by the T.V. adaptation to refer to the series as a whole.
