I miss Hitchens so much. People like Nye are cool and all, but they are focused too much on educating the other side and not enough on subtly but completely belittling them to the extent that, if they have even half a brain, they will want to commit suicide after the debate. Neither side is going to budge anyway, why not make the best of it and run a mental marathon around them while they struggle to form a coherent sentence? I've seen almost all of Hitchens' debates and in every one, you can just see the other person slowly deflate until, by the end, they just look like a harried shell of a person, and I enjoy that immensely.
