Christopher Hitchens, see above in his most natural and polemic position – behind the lectern, is someone that I admire greatly and has found as a constant source of inspiration and ideas. He has throat cancer and his own words: “In whatever kind of a “race” life may be, I have very abruptly become a finalist”
Below is my message to him as posted on Vanity Fair
Christopher,
You, with the help of Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris have caused a seismic shift my outlook on life. Your eloquent and sharp prose combined with your charismatic confidence has helped me out of the fog of delusion, smashed apart the self imposed bounds of serfdom and given me a prime example of how a mans mental strength can, and should flourish. For that I thank you.
My thoughts are with you Christopher.
