https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImSOFDQUawcI've read a lot of Christopher Hitchens and listened to him in countless debates and interviews.
He challenged, educated, and sometimes infuriated me. But I'm a wiser person for it. This 7 hour
compilation provides a great overview of where this fierce thinker lived. You just don't hear people
cutting through the bullshit like Hitchens did. And we're worse off for it. Thanks to Youtube, he'll
agitate, provoke, and enlighten those who are willing to leave their intellectual and emotional
comfort zones and reexamine their long-held views. And if any of you can recommend any other
great thinkers with similar compilations, I'm all ears. If this agrees with you, I'd also recommend
you try some "best of" compilations from Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins.Peter T.
