I confess I have somewhat of a man-crush on Hitchens. Sure, he’s out there and is a proud contrarian, but that’s why I like him. It’s important for people to be pushed out of their comfort zone. It’s important for people to be challenged. I think that is the moment when you can create real openness. It is when you are surrounded by people that agree with you that prejudices are born.

This video reminds me of Sartre’s famous lecture Existentialism Is a Humanism…for some reason I dunno.

And of course the pièce de résistance:
