Parenti's still alive isn't he ?

[-] funky_tomatoe@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I believe he suffers from dementia so he can't speak or write anymore. Really sad story.

Sometimes I listen to Parenti lectures I've already heard too many times just because I like listening to him. He was a great and passionate speaker.

"If you want to get a photo from the press just gesture wildly" he has some great quips. Very funny guy when he wants to be. Love his lectures.

you can never listen to a Parenti lecture too many times

Yeah, but he's got pretty advanced dementia. Diseases that affect the brain are an ugly fate indeed.
