Hitch had a brain washed of thinking. The 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, energy can only change forms, energy creation/destruction can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. Creation had to be done supernaturally at some point.

My intellectual of choice and a hero of mine in the fight for reason. His books are so erudite and superbly written; I'm constantly captivated by his insights, commentary and wit. To meet the man would have been the ultimate.

This is probably the most compelling interview I’ve seen with Hitchens, simply because the interviewer asks intellectually challenging and personally probing questions and isn’t simply trying to stir up Hitchens to bring out the more salacious and notorious aspects of his character as so many do.

Harry Kreisler is a brilliant interviewer. His questions are probing. I love this.

We've missed Hitch for the last decade. There are so few voices that can't be (or haven't already been) bought. So many times over the recent past I have genuinely thought to myself, "I'd love to hear what Hitchens would've thought about this." Maybe the only voice in media that I've ever really trusted. Didn't always agree with him, but always trusted that he wasn't regurgitating talking points. He was erudite but never pretentious, and he was above all else, never dull. Truly a titan of the American polemic tradition. To borrow s phrase he often employed - indeed even in this video, I miss him "like an amputated limb."

@MichaelKingsfordGray so this is how a Hitch follower reasons. After I give evidence, this is the best comeback they can think of... "Illiterate cretin."

I think that if nothing else, Hitchens illuminates just why it is so important to never become a "party liner" - that is; to expose oneself to new ideas and new philosophies, but never to become swept up and homogenised within a movement, to suppress one's individuality of views to 'toe the party line'. One should always be critical about what is 'accepted' and in particular, be self-critical and self-examining because the easiest person to fool, after all, is oneself.

Hitchens' brilliance lay in his encyclopedic knowledge encompassing History, Literature, Philosophy, and current affairs and his uncanny ability to assess and integrate the place of current affairs into the broadest scheme of History and Philosophy. Combined with his incomparably eloquent, endearing quasi-curmudgeonly charm that softened the brunt of his broad, blunt, incisive, often sarcastic observations make him a singular human being whose honesty, insight and very being is sorely missed
