John Freeman see ‘Emerson’
It’s a peculiarity I have noted in many people with Hitchens/Harris and Francis Collins' talent. They seem to grow into masters when it comes to thinking but remain adolescents when it comes to feeling.
           With FCollins and for this matter all of the mentioned people and really anyone that knows they have a depth to themselves that seems to seperate them from the average individual. Invariably they go through a phase of thinking that they must have been "given" something and especially in the FColins case, he did it up all the way and had his 'moment'.
You would be a fool if you couldn’t see that he (all named) never confuse Uptopian ideology with real world affairs. At least how the world has become at present.
Hug a tree—Sure. Just make sure you’re not sued for tresexual harrassment…
Meaning…regardless of any linear arguments that curve a bit on him at a given time, he’s so much more “in tune” than even he thinks I bet.
Is he immature–I hope.–so does he as he pulls you in gently, almost seductively. You gladly follow.
Which is what was his intention, -albeit likely an ancillary benefit- as I would suppose, in the 1st place.
Is it really that hard to figure Hitch?
As he says himself, (HOW he thinks is much more interesting than WHAT he thinks)
A quip–What’s more interesting–the destination,..or the knowledge of HOW you arrived there.
Much more important how you go about, than “you went”–You are so much more likely to see more options.
Macro–The difference between a ‘criminal’ and a citizen in good standing are the options one is able to see at or during a given moment. Oh, and you can rest assured or toss about–or just toss–as Hitch does see options. Certainly many more than most scholars even. To us lay people, he just doesn’t have the time. Nor should he. At least at this juncture.
So, Mr. Hollier, as jelous as I am that you can secure a sit down with Christopher Hitchens, and as much as I like your work, I believe that (at least in this one), well, you have missed the point. Although admirably.
