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

@Nerdwriter1 do a video on veganism
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 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.
