Christopher Hitchens is literally the man who finally set me free of the crippling influence of faith on the mind. Comedians, philosophers, so many with the same message, "Man is free the moment he chooses to be" _Voltaire. I discovered his videos posthumously and will be indebted to that great man for the courage to speak truth to power, to challenge the willing, cheerful ignorance of the masses who long to be sheep and share simple, unvarnished truth. No one who debated him ever successfully made their point that faith is superior to reason. Well, how could they? "Faith is the belief in what reason cannot" __Voltaire 'Atheist's Handbook', can't recommend enough.

The narcissism of the "intellectuals" all the way from psychology to Bloomsbury writers, has always been off-putting to me.

I felt that Eric Mataxas, the interviewer, was ingenuous, sensitive, and fascinated with what I also see as a thought provoking little mystery about the difference in views of the brothers (not that it needs to be solved). Eric’s genuine curiosity seemed to properly draw Peter out. The pause and Eric's face after Peter said "No" were amazing. Peter was relaxed, and I didn’t notice any condescension, snobbery or discomfort in him at all; he’s too much of a real deal human being for that rubbish. The audience enjoyed Peter’s dry wit, and when that happens, one should realize the interviewer is doing their job. Eric is talkative, so what? Sometimes the interviewer is just as interesting as the interviewee, and I was once surprised that a black British lady interviewer with an incredible laugh (forgot her name) who interviewed Harrison Ford - who had a rarely witnessed laughing spell 🤣🤣🤣 - was just as interesting as he was.

Peter Hitches can’t hold a candlestick to his late brother Christopher Hitches! Christopher was better in every way, better writer, better speaker, better debater, and better at humor than his brother Peter!

Hitchens, he simply asked if you were close, you answered "no". He then asked if you could elaborate which I'm sure you could have done. Instead you berated him for presuming things he did not presume, lecturing him on the purported frequency of estranged siblings in society. He said nothing about those things, he did not say you should be close or it was surprising you were close. Like your brother you are overly rhetorical and obtuse.

"Were you close?" "No." Eyes flicker.

Wait ,who is the interviewer?

I'm so curious to hear Peter talk about Christopher but the interviewer doesn't facilitate that conversation

If you imagine both brothers sitting at a dinner table talking politics, then you can easily imagine them falling out. Christopher, in particular, seemed like a man of ironclad principles, who could distance himself from someone who shared different beliefs on fundamental ideas. That said, who knows what goes on in families. It could also be something related to their parents, which neither of them was ever going to speak about publicly.

If you are unable to appreciate both brothers commentary, you've ceased being able to think for yourself and fallen for the intellectual partisan trap.

Both brothers are interesting, yes. However, only Christoper is _accurate._ Peter, on the other hand, cares mostly about the optics and utility of propositions, rather than their truth or falsity. Perhaps he doesn't even think that truth exists (some people don't). But it does, and it is important, and unless humankind starts to learn that, and soon, it will probably go extinct before this century is over.

Peter Hitchens is a fine example of a religious apologist. Substitutes appeals to sophistication and an air of superiority for a cogent argument. Like all the cool kiddies on the right nowadays he promotes ludicrous "anti Western Imperialist" rubbish straight out of the Russian media pipeline and thinks he's casting pearls.

Never seen an American handle a raging Brit so adeptly. Peter Hitchens is a handful and banter is his primary mode of operation. So to make it out alive you roast them back. Perfect blend of adulation (where its due) mixed with slap on the wrist witty retorts when Peter goes full diva.

The short answer "NO!" was a hint so the interviewer stopped talking so much. He didn't get it. There's more. With the intent to praise his voice (Hitchens) and the similarities to his brother, the interviewer took soooooo long to come the question part that he almost stoll our change to hear it. Get to the point!

After watching this, I immediately became so saddened being reminded that Christopher Hitchens is gone. I hold nothing against Peter Hitchens, who looks so much alike now, but the reason for their rivalvry seems very obvious. Peter must’ve always been smart. Christopher was a kind of genius; of course they dispised each other!! - The moderator is badly prepared, not aware of the meaning of Hitchens nor Freud nor aware of himself. Hard to watch. Christopher Hitchens is famous in Europe and Australia as well, btw. ✌🏻🇦🇺🇩🇪🇺🇸

True. Brothers and sisters do fight and stop speaking with each other for several years or for good.

let us just say, i have a sister who has such a psychosis which makes her seem so real and truth is she has no idea how far we have travelled together with her in my head

Meet the Hitchens brothers - the intellectual's answer to the Gallagher's!

Peter Hitchens is never more fascinating than when he’s talking about Christopher Hitchens

The wig saw some blurb somewhere about the Viennese witch doctor and only just now clicked he is a Nabokovian. A bonding and vindicating moment for Hitchens I'm guessing.

I have a feeling that Peter and Chris went down two separate paths after the loss of their mother to a suicide pact with a man who cheated with her on the Hitchens' father.
