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.

One of the most important American maverick of our times and great critical thinkers and teachers who's writings I hope is discovered now more than ever especially youngsters nowadays. All the mainstream medias don't even mention him and his writings and never ever try to debate him. None of these intellectuals out here have ever tried to talk about him and his writing at all because they would get destroyed in any arguments of debate by the facts and knowledge of the facts no one's ready for that smoke.
Scary that he's already 91 now when it seems the world needs him the most. I wish he keeps living and writing books and spreading his wisdom for many more years to come. We have very few rational voices like him left today.
I first discovered Thomas Sowell's work back around 2008. Read A Conflict of Visions. Amazing book. He really is a national treasure as other people have said
You cannot say "his genius" as it really is more his practice to think things through and avoid the temptation to arrive at preconceived notions and move on. That does not take genius but choice. He is of course a genius whatever that means on any given day. I am thankful for his sharing of results that will help everyone someday in some way.

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.”
@@beaudavis3808 At this point the goverment hasa narrative they are unwilling to to change. We the people can gain knowledge from Mr Sowell ans how to use thar knowledge in oue daily lives.
Governments everywhere who have failed to keep vested interest from planting their tentacles into the corridors of public office cannot be helped regardless of the quality of advisors they surround themselves with. Democracy becomes a pageant once every 5 years, with every contestants pitch is to save the world/country/economy/ environment/bald eagle/middle class/ way of life or another dozen of cliched word salad.
Such an incredibly intelligent man. I absolutely love listening to Thomas Sowell and I always walk away feeling challenged, inspired, and encouraged by what he has to share.
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
FINALLY! Thomas Sowell is by far the most important black intelectual of our time. And he gets ignored by EVERYONE. But you need to interview him so he can speak for himself. But thanks for at least mentioning him.

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.
Just a month ago, in his interview with Chris Stewart, Nick was slagging Thomas Sowell as being damaging to individual freedom as a "black conservative". Short memory, or embarrassed turnaround?
Yeah watching that part of the interview (near the 1hr mark for those who wanna check it out) I cant tell why Nick did that. Maybe he was thinking of Larry Elder so some shit but the wrong name came to mind but.. bit of a cock up.
There is something about Nick that I don't trust. He reinforced that when he gave a kissy-face interview to some Biden-supporting, CRT theory-spouting, alleged libertarian. FFS.

One of the most important American maverick of our times and great critical thinkers and teachers who's writings I hope is discovered now more than ever especially youngsters nowadays. All the mainstream medias don't even mention him and his writings and never ever try to debate him. None of these intellectuals out here have ever tried to talk about him and his writing at all because they would get destroyed in any arguments of debate by the facts and knowledge of the facts no one's ready for that smoke.
Scary that he's already 91 now when it seems the world needs him the most. I wish he keeps living and writing books and spreading his wisdom for many more years to come. We have very few rational voices like him left today.
After He dropped-out from HS, he joined the marines, upon serving in the Korean War, he went to enroll at Harvard.
How did he get into Harvard without a high school degree?
@@bp4187 actually he started at Howard University then went to Harvard
He did his time
My respect for Sowell continues to grow.
I first discovered Thomas Sowell's work back around 2008. Read A Conflict of Visions. Amazing book. He really is a national treasure as other people have said
You cannot say "his genius" as it really is more his practice to think things through and avoid the temptation to arrive at preconceived notions and move on. That does not take genius but choice. He is of course a genius whatever that means on any given day. I am thankful for his sharing of results that will help everyone someday in some way.
Thank you Professor Sowell!

Thomas Sowell, Milton Friedman, and FA Hayek walk into a bar...for the greatest night ever.
A brilliant and brave man
A well deserved homage to a great intellect. It helps so much having people to look up to.
I have been a fan of Dr. Sowell for a well over a decade. His approach to multidisciplinary research inspired me to take a multidisciplinary approach to my doctorate.
Glad to see his life and work are being featured in a documentary. Well deserved.

The greatest American philosopher and thinker we have ever produced. God bless Thomas Sowell
I found him just recently and I thank God! I was glad to hear his face book is “Conflict of Visions” as this was my first purchase... it’s the starting point in my opinion!!!!
Gratitude... A truckload of gratitude!!... The amount of work this man has put in, in order to educate the world!...
I've always enjoyed him speaking since I was in High School.
Love me some Sowell. Unbelievably intelligent and informative.
I had no idea the nuances of all these issues he speaks on until I began listening to him.

Finally something good from Reason as of late
Yep
He's brilliant, clear and a true American Patriot and national treasure. I could listen to him and that voice every day and his writing is equally amazing.
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 think it is GREAT that everybody goes to Hoover Institute to pull Thomas Sowells clips.
The wisest living American. Much too wise to be president.
But Mr Sowell would be an excellent advisor!
@@chrisverone4199 To the president that would listen to what he is saying.
@@beaudavis3808 At this point the goverment hasa narrative they are unwilling to to change. We the people can gain knowledge from Mr Sowell ans how to use thar knowledge in oue daily lives.
Governments everywhere who have failed to keep vested interest from planting their tentacles into the corridors of public office cannot be helped regardless of the quality of advisors they surround themselves with.
Democracy becomes a pageant once every 5 years, with every contestants pitch is to save the world/country/economy/ environment/bald eagle/middle class/ way of life or another dozen of cliched word salad.
This man changed my life forever, truly the greatest
I do just love the thought of Sowell and Pinker hanging out. So much brain power at one table.
I want to thank Jason Riley for giving us a better look at Thomas Sowell. I really appreciate the work, thank you.
Such an incredibly intelligent man. I absolutely love listening to Thomas Sowell and I always walk away feeling challenged, inspired, and encouraged by what he has to share.
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
Thomas Sowell is the quintessential objective economist.
FINALLY! Thomas Sowell is by far the most important black intelectual of our time. And he gets ignored by EVERYONE. But you need to interview him so he can speak for himself. But thanks for at least mentioning him.

God bless you Doctor Thomas Sowell
This man should be more celebrated than Dr. King. He is literally the smartest man I’ve ever seen.
Love listening to this Great man and Milton Friedman
Thomas Sowell is simply marvellous.
Sowell is the best economist in the world, and he always will be❤️🙏
Still the Smartest Man in the Room !
Sowell's rough and tumble upbringing kept him grounded in reality. He was always smart as a result.
I learned more in-depth history and political history listening to one of his books than a year of homeschooling my son with a traditional textbook.
Splendid video. Dr Sowell's books are brilliant as well. So inspiring.
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.
"There are no solutions. Only trade offs"
Outstanding !
They’re not maverick, they’re just correct.
Just a month ago, in his interview with Chris Stewart, Nick was slagging Thomas Sowell as being damaging to individual freedom as a "black conservative". Short memory, or embarrassed turnaround?
Yeah watching that part of the interview (near the 1hr mark for those who wanna check it out) I cant tell why Nick did that. Maybe he was thinking of Larry Elder so some shit but the wrong name came to mind but.. bit of a cock up.
Wtf really?
There is something about Nick that I don't trust. He reinforced that when he gave a kissy-face interview to some Biden-supporting, CRT theory-spouting, alleged libertarian. FFS.
Weird.
I can't get enough of Sowell. Why his teachings are not mandatory reading in schools in this country is a disgrace.
Wonderful to see the truth in this man that I share,
That all men are created equal, endowed by their creator... capable of reasoning & common sense wisdom earned by living, conflict & reality!
Reality vs intention
He's as lovely as he is brilliant. Swoon.
