Thoughts on this? I believe this was his last speech before he died. (I may be wrong)
I personally love when he said "I hope that each of you forms some such ambition this evening and carries it forward....there is no supreme leader that says 'if you would just give up your freedom of inquiry, a world of ignorant bliss can be yours.' A supreme leader, the dear leader, the great leader, we have no need of any of this." I feel he wanted it to be clear before he had to go (before he ultimately died) that your god is nothing more than ignorance mixed with the fear of death. He, she, or it asks you to remain ignorant and you gladly oblige.
