Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need religion, hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important, qualitative differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption.
Homosexual activists, with complete support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims and martyrs; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
Dwelling on death is not the healthiest way to spend life, but the cursed human brain eventually gets to that dead end street if it`s not distracted to other trivial matters like America's Got Talent or Lady Gaga..

Christopher Hitchens' books aren't hoisted to the top by free-market forces. There's no great hue & cry by the public for what he produces. His books fit the agenda of the tax-funded public library system which ALWAYS champions books & films that promote degeneracy, Marxism and ruination.
George Eliot wrote her first novel at forty. Cervantes was fifty-eight when he completed 'Don Quixote' and Goethe was in eighties when he completed the second -and by no means inferior- part of 'Faust'. Sophocles wrote great plays at ninety.
"Shakespeare dead at fifty-four, Dickens at fifty-nine..."
Come on, Mart. Shakespeare died at fifty-two, Dickens at fifty-eight.
@polymath7 Who cares if he's a year or two off on the age when these Shakespeare and Dickens died and whether there are exceptions to the rule. The point of the video is the writer's quest for immortality and coming to terms with death. You choose to focus on the the periphery. What a twit.
@polymath7 So your defense to your choice to focus on triviality is you can't say anything substantive about the meat of the interview in 500 characters or less? Even more pathetic. How about "While undeniably brilliant, Amis deludes himself by believing he can somehow evade mortality through great writing and procreation. He (and we all) should suck it up and face the fact that life is ultimately meaningless except for the provisional meaning we impose on it." There. Not so hard now, was it?

WHAT BELIES NORMALITY, MORALITY & ABSOLUTISM?

I crave immortality because I feel I haven't had my experience of life.
haven't done what I feel I was meant to do and I fear I wont have enough time.
I think of death as the headlights of a car that make you stand fast and stare instead of move when you should.

@AfterFauve001 at least you're being thoughtful.

"In their thirties."
There are certainly exceptions.

@Jakelakeable
I chose to *comment* upon the periphery.
This does not in any way imply that I'm insensible to what, within the narrow space of a 500 character box , I happen to leave unremarked.

I would just like to say, for the record, that I'm not happy about the arc of life at all!
I am very angry about one in particular that I've lost and I would hate to go myself and leave people I love behind.
In my view, we should start a letter-writing campaign and perhaps have the whole dying thing abolished.
On the other hand, if you live right, you can experience eternity in a moment, a moment shared with the person you love.
