If you mean the final thoughts, which I’m assuming you are, absolute wisdom. Although being old enough to see his more varied less staged early episodes (the jazz saxophone theme era), his final thoughts were more varied as his themes were much more varied (the “inside family”, “animal lover” and “race exclusionary” episodes come to mind
