Look up into a clear night sky and you will see our future. The stars are ours. The universe awaits us.
OH FUCK HES DEAD!! I knew it was coming but i only found out from this video today and it comes as a huge shock still... thank you chris for opening my mind, and giving me many arguments that arnt to harsh to my christian friends. i honestly would take the cancer from you and have it kill me if i could, you are still needed on the earth and by all the people in the world whether they know it or not.. this is why i am glad to apparently be going to hell, i will be able to talk to this great man
@jimu57 Because his reasoning is sound, and he displays a respect for everyone else's views. He neither denies nor acknowledges any God, he merely states that he feels that assuming that everything was made just for us is a bit arrogant.
It's not wrong to mourn him, I think. I don't begrudge that of anybody. But every time my mind tries to go in that direction I get sidetracked. "Aren't we lucky though?" I find myself asking. "Aren't we so incredibly fortunate... that he lived at all? And that his work is still with us. Still available for us to appreciate and to enrich ourselves with?"
I dunno why but I find this speech so inspiring, even though it's essentially just him telling us how insignificant we really are. Wish I had known about him sooner, and not a week after his death.
We need to have a person,on this planet whose views RELIGION/CULTURE'S/WAY OF PEOPLE'S LIVES, AROUND OUR HUMAN GLOBE- DIFFERENT!!!-AS WE ARE ALL NOT LIKE SHEEP!!! FOLLOWING ONE ANOTHER!!!
ITS THE CULTURED BRAIN IN PROGRESS!!!!!
CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS -BLESS HIS SOUL -BROUGHT SIGNIFICANCE TO HUMAN BEING'S!!!-RELGION IS FOOD FOR THE SOUL ONLY AND NOT DAY TO DAY LIFE.
could not agree more that even the scientist should also relax about the big band theory. Dont get me wrong i'm a fact & science man - but I've also come to learn that once you've fully absolutely believe one thing your wrong.
I met him at a debate he had with my cousin in Boston almost two years ago. I had just become an athiest at the time and had started to fall in love with all of Sagan's work. I don't remember exactly what he said to me, but I remember him being very kind and quite funny. He had this feeling of calmness around him. To me, it is one of the highlights of my life, He was a great man, a great person, and I feel honored to have met him.
I´ve never cried of anyones death who I never knew, except this amazing man. Cried many times in many days. Not sure why, but there´s just something about this dude...
@pololopo23 The man affected and inspired many people. I cried in exactly the same way. It's hard to believe he has gone. Death feels such a waste but then he wouldn't be sentimental and we should congratulate him on being happy having lived life to the full and pushing at every boundary, he loved and was loved, what more could you want.
@pololopo23 ..Me too,..I just love his mind,humanity is not aware of it's loss,he truly was one of the kind,i mourn all of the writings and words we will never hear or read with him gone
@rwtj01 got it, lost. and just noticed it's in uploader coments. well, only a minute, not to dumb. LOVE the video mate. I hoped to oneday have a chance to meet Hitchens. He'll be sadly missed, but his work and words will persist. thanks for the video
I'm so happy to see this. Your Carl Sagan Tribute Series was like, life changing. I'm glad to see you're starting a new project. No one's better suited to it than you.
Again, go Hitch. And for people to say that he somehow lost this debate to WLC. Unreal.
I've seen the entire debate. Craig seemed undaunted by CH's points and indeed said some clever things according to his own logic. Yet it's all just too easy (and trite) to thrive in a cul de sac when you're going in circles. And yeah, the theists might say that Hitchens did the same. But whatever man.
I came to this from a posting (yours?) on the Seattle Skeptics FB page, and I thank you for it. Best wishes to you and your endeavors, and much sorrow at the loss of this great thinker and orator, albeit one with whom I often disagreed.
I'm probably still an agnostic/deist. 7 years of Catholic school and decent Catholic parents will do that to you. I never found a real reason to dislike that religion based on the people I knew.
But I know what is rational and logical, and Hitchens spells it out. Can't deny that. Respect for him. It's just hard for me to let go completely of that tradition I grew up with.
@mflowah Why not keep the tradition as a tradition and appreciate it as a social function, if you like, and also think freely and logically, when it comes to understand the world? I think it's possible to do both, if you are not bound to take the traditional sayings as truth.
@mflowah You´re already at the point where if you keep watching/reading more about these type of videos/books, in one year you will say that you´re atheist or an anti-theist. I´m quite certain of this.
@mflowah Because most atheists are agnostic atheist; it's a common misconception that agnosticism is sort of 'weak atheism'. Agnosticism are two answers to completely different questions: a person is either an agnostic theist (they think God exists but they're not sure), a gnostic theist (think God exists and say they know for sure), an agnostic atheist (doesn't believe in God but say he's 100% sure or a gnostic atheist (doesn't believe in God and says they're 100% sure).
@mflowah My point was that a person is either a theist or atheist, agnosticism and gnosticism mean how certain a person is in their belief and theism and atheist mean if they believe a God exists.
@mflowah And this is exactly the danger he is trying to warn you of. You might not have realized it yet, but life is not fair. We humans have become used to thinking life should be fair because of the system we set up against the universe. Life is not fair, life doesn't care about us, we almost went extint more than once and people still have the audacity to think this was all made for use. Grow up and face reality, thinking like this will eventually lead to our destruction.
@bomotor Maybe I read a little too much into what mflowah said, but the point Christopher is trying to make is that, thinking that "everything was made with us in mind (or for us)" is not a healthy thought. It poisons our thoughts because this kind of thinking does not allow for global catastrophies like the climate change we are facing now.
There would be much greater dangers we should be protecting ourselves (as a species) against, but instead we wage stupid time/wealth consuming wars
@mflowah Forgive me but i'm confused as to what it is that your saying. Your "probably" an agnostic/deist. so you do believe in a god of sorts yet you "probably" state that you are an agnostic? To me that sounds like a contradiction of stances. Agnostics are not deists by definition and are somewhat at odds with each other. Your statement about having a hard time letting go of tradition is reasonable or maybe more so understandable but does that mean your tradition is your basis for belief?
@Myklanjlo they always say bible scholars think that Jesus is real based on the gospels... and based on some stupid people who didn't live during his supposed time. I think those bible scholars are christians. And I think the gospel was written once, copied and added, 3 more times. I think it is totally fiction. It shows all the marks of a fiction. And all of the signs of a heroic mythic character. Even the story is written as a fiction, with quotes and all, interesting events, no 12-30y.o.
This must be the best response to the fine tuning argument I´ve ever heard. After this no one should have to hear any of that fine tuning babbling again. But, how can you get religious people to understand the utter beauty and logic of this response, might still remain as one of the great mysteries of our universe. My man, Hitch!
I wonder what it is like to die without being able to see any plausible result of something one has fought so much for and dedicated the most of one's awaking hours.
I'm continually taken aback at the breadth and depth of Hitchens' reading. He may not have been a scientist, but he was a great ally to science and clearly understood its history and principles.
The Universe may be too vast to understand, but I don't need to discover it all to know that Christopher Hitchens was the greatest voice of reason its ever had. I miss this man more than I knew was possible to miss a person I've never met.
And the music... I recognize it as the end theme from "LOST" when Jack Shepherd died. I cried when that fictional character died. I cried when the Hitch died. A touching video in his honor.
CallumCGLP - Your Sagan tributes make me unbelievably happy when I see them in my sub box....But seeing a Hitchens video almost made me loose my mind. Hitchens is a great person to focus a new tribute series towards. I hope this is your intention anyways.
Callum, I absolutely love your work, and I think you did the World a great favour with your tributes to Sagan (and now Hitchens). I have copied the sound track onto a CD to listen to in the car, and I have made use of that privilege several times.
However, should you continue the Hitchens tributes, I would suggest less spoken word. The video is very informative and all, but it's a little too much information for a 10 minute video. Some artificial breaks might help.? Just my two cents. <3
@cutthroooat Thank you for the feedback! I guess using someone other than Carl in a video is kind of like learning to play a new instrument. Evidently a different pace is required for the tone of each narrator. I hope I can do better in the future.
@callumCGLP in my opinion, it was absolutely great. The choice of videos, the amount of words (representative of Hitch), and, I should single out, the ending.
While I agree that more Hitchens would be great, I don't think it's too much information as is. Strangely enough, the continuous rant seems to fit the rather mellow music quite well. But I can see how it wouldn't always work...
@callumCGLP I think you did an amazing job , just incredible, i think you got everything right, the pace, the imagery and his speech, he would have been very honoured to have this as a tribute and you should feel very proud...thank you
@callumCGLP Just to offer a different opinion, I love the words and the video itself is more of an enhancement to the man. It's like re-experiencing some of his speeches in a new way. I wouldn't change a thing except perhaps to cut back to Hitch a tad more often. That's just my opinion however.
@callumCGLP i had tears in my eyes when i heard of his death,this man was a hero but he will always live through his debates and youtube,even humans living hundreds and thousands of years from now will be enlightened by listening to hitchens,what a great man,hitchens will always be here amongst us

I'm continually taken aback at the breadth and depth of Hitchens' reading. He may not have been a scientist, but he was a great ally to science and clearly understood its history and principles.

The Universe may be too vast to understand, but I don't need to discover it all to know that Christopher Hitchens was the greatest voice of reason its ever had. I miss this man more than I knew was possible to miss a person I've never met.

And the music... I recognize it as the end theme from "LOST" when Jack Shepherd died. I cried when that fictional character died. I cried when the Hitch died. A touching video in his honor.

A great man, someone who knew bullshit when he heard it, and wasn't afraid to call it so.

Sir. This was brilliant! Thank you.
I am grateful to have lived in the same time as Christopher Hitchens.
It is also wonderful that he lived in an age where technology can preserve such greatness with clarity for generations to come.
As long as humans can muster words, quotes from Christopher Hitchens will always be in the conversation.

CallumCGLP - Your Sagan tributes make me unbelievably happy when I see them in my sub box....But seeing a Hitchens video almost made me loose my mind. Hitchens is a great person to focus a new tribute series towards. I hope this is your intention anyways.

Callum, I absolutely love your work, and I think you did the World a great favour with your tributes to Sagan (and now Hitchens). I have copied the sound track onto a CD to listen to in the car, and I have made use of that privilege several times.
However, should you continue the Hitchens tributes, I would suggest less spoken word. The video is very informative and all, but it's a little too much information for a 10 minute video. Some artificial breaks might help.? Just my two cents. <3

@cutthroooat Thank you for the feedback! I guess using someone other than Carl in a video is kind of like learning to play a new instrument. Evidently a different pace is required for the tone of each narrator. I hope I can do better in the future.

@callumCGLP in my opinion, it was absolutely great. The choice of videos, the amount of words (representative of Hitch), and, I should single out, the ending.

While I agree that more Hitchens would be great, I don't think it's too much information as is. Strangely enough, the continuous rant seems to fit the rather mellow music quite well. But I can see how it wouldn't always work...
ZanVorez 2 months ago
@callumCGLP You can't fit enough information in 10 minutes when it comes to Hitch. I feel it delivers the urgency it deserves. It Hitch's style.
Thanks for this tribute Callum. My hats off.

@callumCGLP I think you did an amazing job , just incredible, i think you got everything right, the pace, the imagery and his speech, he would have been very honoured to have this as a tribute and you should feel very proud...thank you

@callumCGLP Just to offer a different opinion, I love the words and the video itself is more of an enhancement to the man. It's like re-experiencing some of his speeches in a new way. I wouldn't change a thing except perhaps to cut back to Hitch a tad more often. That's just my opinion however.

@callumCGLP i had tears in my eyes when i heard of his death,this man was a hero but he will always live through his debates and youtube,even humans living hundreds and thousands of years from now will be enlightened by listening to hitchens,what a great man,hitchens will always be here amongst us
