Beyond the Cozy Offices of Oxford...


Click the orange link. The footage is understandably joggy. This might be the chest-beating that Pepe despises (I'm uncertain, specifically, so I'll let him comment). Before lecturing in a cozy hall of academia, chest-beating — from Oxford to Stanford — is unfortunately an unimaginable and unecessary concept.

Soldiers, however, often do that sort of chest beating for mental preparation, much similar to the way an academic might psychologically prepare themselves before, as mentioned, a lecture; before delivering a paper; before reading the latest from Yale University Press.
