In which the Nerdwriter attempts a eulogy. Now go & watch every Hitchens clip on youtube. Start here with a brilliant interview eulogy by Hitch's friend, Simon Schama: http://bit.ly/vp7jNN. Then read his books. Here is his amazon for you to look at some first pages: http://amzn.to/t1hz1P.

  • Thank you everyone for the nice comments. I want to build a following of subscribers who really want to watch the vlogs every week. I want us to be a force on youtube. And I want us to grow. Please share this video everywhere you can; facebook, twitter, tumbler, etc. Tell you friends and family to give it a shot. If they learn something or laugh, ask them to subscribe. Thanks!

  • I am so glad I found your videos via P4A. You are actually one of the best, most interesting vloggers on YouTube.

  • @CustardStig Thank you so much. Tell your friends!

  • I believe intelligence is making a comeback... Then again, I am the most optimistic person I know.

  • @robinna I'm pretty optimistic about it too.

  • Hitchens, however troubling some of his viewpoints (such as on the war in Iraq) and however hard it was to reconcile those troubling viewpoints with his overall contribution as a public intellectual, will be missed. I think your celebration of intellectualism (we WERE doing so good in the Enlightenment!) is a great tribute to him.

  • @splicegrrl I think his viewpoints are consistent with the logic of his life. Are they right? Tick your own box. But O he was so much fun! Thanks for the great comment.

  • Every video of yours that i watch, makes me like you more, and more.

  • It was nice to actually hear someone raise their voice for intellectualism again!

  • @Nerdwriter1 hi there, i like what your doing. consider your following bigger by 1.

  • Brilliant! I am so glad WheezyWaiter linked to you. I agree with you that writing is incredibly important. However, I feel that more generally, we learn by doing. Whether that be through writing, painting, composing, vlogging, programming(one of my favorite ways), etc. Creating something really does help us learn in a way that merely thinking cannot. Anyways, you've got yourself a new subscriber. Well done :) I'll do what I can to promote you.

  • @woohoowwww I second that! You got yourself a new subscriber/fan!

  • Today I used your arguments for being an intellectual in an English seminar, on how many students who graduate high school cannot think critically, my teacher was very impressed. Thank you. :D

  • ok you are now officially my new favourite

  • @Nerdwriter1 do a video on veganism
