In this singular lecture he demonstrates one of the greatest minds in human history. Every utterance is nuanced and complex and filled with historical anecdotes and humor. I miss him so very much.

Christopher Hitchens: The only man who can tactfully pull off a baking metaphor at a conference on antisemitism.

[eamonnca]

So much knowledge coming from his head. He’s not exactly reading this from a teleprompter. He knew his stuff inside out. A remarkable intellect.

[OstblockLatina]

His statements on so many subjects remain so painfully up to date until this very day, he and his incredible mind are being missed so much.

I could listen to Hitch speak all day . . . I have learned so much from this man

[rivadenis]

A great man sadly missed with the best explanation of Antisemitism I've ever heard. Good time to post this everywhere possible.

Can't believe that this hasn't gotten millions of views yet. Listened to to it twice due to somewhat poor sound quality.

I am grateful we have video documentation of this!!!

I had a nasty bout of stress and anxiety some years ago, and I lost much of my ability to remember words and frases. I enjoy Christopher Hitchens best, when I read him, but listening to him like this makes me happy and a bit depressed. He was twelve years older than I am now, when he died, but his mind was clear as a diamond until the end. I envy him tremendously.

What a gift to humanity this guy was. The kind of voice we are desperately lacking today.

[davy_K]

Every time I listen to or read Hitchens I have at least one more book to man was a human rabbit hole.

[gdlkgscruff]

What he brings to the discussion is dearly missed in todays society, that of a curious and questioning mind.

[ljragsandfeathers]

Oh Hitch, where are you when we need you? Whenever I hear that pretentious Balliol accent and the gorgeous turn of phrase … breaks my heart. ❤

[alecmiddleton]

A real shame about the distorted sound quality. I have got the volume up and I'm still having to follow the transcript.

Incredible lecture. Imagine the reaction he would have received if he had been giving it today .

[T.S.-ir]

Always want more Hitchens! This is a great video, so much insight.

[bubbercakes]

I miss this man. If only our leaders were half as courageous as he was!

My son was expelled from 109 different educational institutions, after 1000s of warnings and demerits. Those bigoted, jealous, bitter teachers and administrators really have it out for him. Really I swear.

We lost a pearl greater than all our tribe when we lost Christopher Hitchens ❤ I shall never stop missing him
