I hate how Wright just takes something that Hitchens says, and then negates it and asks the opposite back to him. It's really childish.
-
I find Wright hard to listen too. It sounds like he's yelling everything he says. He needs to tone down his speech patterns a bit.
-
Serously? a ''fuck you'' to the person who wrote ''the moral animal''?
-
It's so funny how Hitch seems to stop speaking, then he waits til his opponent begins to speak, and as soon as his opponent utters their first syllable Hitch starts right back up again. It seems to really be aggravating Wright. Gotta love the Hitch!
-
Wright and Hitchens are speaking about Marx in different respects. Wright references Marx in the first or second chapter of his book (as he attempts to reference him here). He was speaking in a humanistic perspective of Marx, or some off like that.
It was such an odd portrayal of Marx that I couldn't completely forget it.

BTW new religions will likely be so different from the current ones that some people may not quite recognize them as such.
Think jazz, think progressive rock, think... hip-hop whatever...
it's going to be different in a way that no one has thought of.

I just watched the movie Life is Beautiful starring Roberto Benigni and the way he reframes things for his son is the best metaphor that I've come across for what new religions could do to help humankind. This transformation will occur, I just want it to happen sooner rather than later. The sky is the limit... These old religions suck! We can do better!
-
i think we should start a new movement of non-believers who admit that religions can sometimes be useful and then proceed to beat the religious at their own game and design new and better religions with the maximum number of positive subjective and behavioral outcomes and the minimum number of negative subjective and behavioral outcomes. Use music, metaphor, morality, art, psychology, physics, philosophy, science, sociology, story, etc.

Wright came from a Southern Baptist background--that explains most everything here.
Fear, fear, and more fear. Poor guy.

wright claims in a previous video to be a better marxist than hitchens (and fails), and now claims not to be so "simplistically" marxist after all. He's flailing so badly.
