Rhetorically, he's one of my favorite speakers to ever live: he was undeniably brilliant and both exactingly logical and impressively poetic. But he was also undeniably an arrogant prick who regularly talked down to laymen and seemed to get off on it in a Ben Shapiro-esque fashion. And as he got old .
He was an entertaining speaker, but I'd deny "brilliant" and exactingly logical. And he was a layman. Fun guy but not a serious thinker or anything. What he really was, IMO, was a master bullshitter.
