Part of the function of memory is to forget; the omni-retentive mind will break down and produce at best an idiot savant who can recite a telephone book, and at worst a person to whom every grudge and slight is as yesterday.

I personally want to "do" death in the active and not the passive, and to be there to look it in the eye and be doing something when it comes for me.

Since it is obviously inconceivable that all religions can be right, the most resonable conclusion is that they are all wrong.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ2LehsA1dk I don't agree with the title of the video stating the audience member being cocky (he was asking a genuine question), but Hitch is SO badly missed! He called it years ago and it still stands true today. All this foolishness is to do with religion. #hitch #hitchins #hitchslap #christopherhitchens #religion

"Narcissism of small differences"
In 2010, author Christopher Hitchens cited the phenomenon when talking about ethno-national conflicts.[11] "In numerous cases of apparently ethno-nationalist conflict, the deepest hatreds are manifested between people who—to most outward appearances—exhibit very few significant distinctions."
