There's some interesting videos here. All entertaining in their own way.
It's like any dogma, if you want to believe then you will. If you have
spent your entire career using structured programming you probably think
"hell yeah"!

I enjoyed this video the most because it's not peddling dogma. It covers
some very interesting topics on the current trend in programming, which
is functional programming. Almost all popular OO languages support the
FP paradigm, C++, Java, C#, Scala, Kotlin, JavaScript, Python etc.
Immutability, value types, monads have been around for a least a decade
and that is the way people are writing programs. I'm afraid I don't see
a return to structured programming happening in my lifetime. Of course,
the mainframe is an exception in that the huge legacy code base is
mostly written in COBOL with a significant amount of PL/I. Having said
that, most of the modernization initiatives in DB2, CICS, IMS are Java
frameworks/libraries.
actually, why is smalltalk so close to objective C. Because of a Byte
Magazine cover page.

Some are provocative. There are many others. I really like "going
virtually" to these conferences.
