      No, you're wrong too -- as he's a liar and a hypocrite, and I can prove it. But his disciples are so preoccupied with putting him on a pedestal and praising his "principles" -- that they flagrantly fail to follow them (just as he did on the issue in question). "Following facts" that go in the direction you desire -- doesn't count. Anybody can do that. Would one "one of the world's greatest intellects" flagrantly ignore irrefutable evidence of mathematical certainty to help manufacture a war in the Middle East in the aftermath of 9/11? I wouldn’t care if this guy cured cancer: You don’t get a pass for basking in baseless beliefs that cripple the country - and have the bottomless nerve to preach responsibility & accountability to boot. THAT is a cancer of its own. The poison he pumped into the atmosphere helped destroy the internal organs of America. So we have very different standards as to what qualifies as a “National Treasure.” “Water is Not Wet - And I Stand by That”: onevoicebecametwo.life/2022/04/09/water-is-not-wet-and-i-stand-by-that/

    I only just discovered Thomas Sowell a couple of years ago. And just in time! The crazier the world has become, the more it also made sense. My favorite Sowell quote sums things up quite well, "Racism is not dead but it is on life support - kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as racist.”

    I wish we had ONE thinker, ONE economist of the calibre of Dr.Thomas Sowell here in India..may be we do, but this person isn't in the public eye.
    Dr.Sowell has never gotten his due because his views run completely contrary to the world of liberal/progressive/Marxist academia which is so overwhelmingly white.
    He is truly an international treasure..but we live in a sad world where hundreds of millions worship the false prophets of hope and change( who capture power to enrich themselves preying upon minority grievances ) while completely ignoring a man who is genuinely interested in improving the lot of the poorest of the poor

    I used to think he was a sell out. I admire him now. He was the voice of reason that dragged me more to the center of the political spectrum. I was so radically left I demonized capitalism. I read , “Wealth, Poverty, and Politics,” and I’m reading his book, “Basic Economics,” and it’s totally changing the way I think about civilizations, human nature, and the importance of a free market. Highly intelligent. I can’t say many people have motivated me to change my mind about politics like this intellectual. I still respect Richard Wolff, Yanis Varofakis, and Noam Chomsky for getting me interested in politics. But this man covers all his bases and explains difficult concepts in plain english like no other. If anyone has any recommendations I’m open minded enough to look into it. I’m in my 30s now and I’m trying to understand the world, trying to prepare for end stage capitalism. Ray Dalio’s book, “Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order,” was another eye opener for me. We can’t just hate and resent the rich. There has to be some common ground. A lot of us are spoiled and take the modern luxuries we have for granted. The grass will always be greener on the other side.
