When I look at Brad Pitt, I think hes probably the modern equivalent of Douglas Fairbanks. Tom Hanks is clearly Jimmy Stewart. Steve Carell might be the current Bob Hope. Thandie Newton can be compared to Audrey Hepburn. Then we have Robin Williams. And I can say nothing. Perhaps this is why my Facebook feed is utterly dominated by commentary on his death. We can conceive of no replacement. Its not just a tragedy. We debase that word. Its a loss. Its the same conversation we had when we lost Steve Jobs. It will be the same one well have when we lose Stephen Hawking or Edward O Wilson, or Prince, or Lionel Messi. Seven billion people live on this planet, and every life has value, and yet I think I can sense how the world is measurably diminished now. It seems we all can.
