Replying to Avatar Mike Dilger ☑️

He knew hard alcohol wasn't healthy, but he chose it anyways and it killed him. Very much in parallel with what he said about Palestinians, that it's a dumb idea to try to fight Israel but it is their right if they choose it.

I'm not sure I agree with all he said because I'm not sure I even understand all that I've heard him say. But much or most I thought was brilliant.

Yeah, he had a way of speaking and thinking that demanded respect even if I disagreed with him on something. That's what intellectuals should be.

He also had a very broad understanding of politics and history, so I often had to do some reading to grasp a lot of what he was saying. But that was very good for me as a young man at the time.
