I know only pieces of his life, but whenever a video or audio clip of Baldwin pops up, I listen voraciously. He is articulate in a way that seems to blend the cerebral with the emotive. He seems to summon forth both Maya Angelou and Christopher Hitchens; The level of articulateness is so rare. I wish I had him on tap as a podcast, ... endlessly ruminating. If you want a slice..

- Bluestein 2y agoPS. To clarify: Meant this in an 'allegorical' sense, with Aristotle being one of our (many) wise men.- (And, I do not mean the almost "pachinko-with-vectors" AI we have now. I mean if we where to - literally - be able to intellectually reconstruct and preserve greats such as Aristotle).-
