      Mickaël Mtp he’s speaking of the average person who will just go along with the narratives to keep a job in the establishment machine. In the 70’s and 80’s Sowell was regularly invited to Congress/Senate hearings and William F Buckley’s show on network TV. He repeatedly proved neoliberal policies wrong by debating with real numbers and real statistics. When Sowell saw very little was done to change bad bureaucratic policies he chose to not be part of that backwardly flawed reward system. He stayed in academia. They should be teaching kids right from a Thomas Sowell textbook by now.

      Not many public schools would be willing to have Sowell's books in its library as that would be detrimental to the school's legitimacy.

    When this interview took place in 1995, most of us hadn't heard much about "diversity" being of the utmost importance, etc. Rose uses the word when justifying our top universities admitting foreigners (at the expense of Americans).
    Dr. Sowell immediately jumped on (not in a nice way) the whole silly idea of diversity. He always believed in merit. He is a great man, a great educator, and one of the most important minds this nation has ever produced.
    And most people on the left have never heard of him. (Probably on the right, too.)
    And it didn't take Rose long to accuse Sowell of "buying into these conspiracy theories." No surprise there.

      It would take surprisingly little to turn the tide and one of the very interesting aspects of the info age is .... that tides can change much faster than people ( and the elite) think.
      There is a very real backlash and the first wave of true conservative activism developing in the US at the local political level in decades. Its rhe reason you see the far left going so crazy. The reason for things like the Jan 6th commission. They are actually panicking. They see their precious control of the schools being challenged and they sense that regular Joe America is finally wise to their game. They know the jig is up and fear what is coming for them.

      On the contrary; Rose is precisely the type we need to have sit across from us-in the flesh, face to face: accountable-so that, like Sowell, we can see to it that these advocates and activists on the Left encounter the facts and the logic that put them at odds not merely with us traditional conservatives but just as well with nature, with history, with basic arithmetic, with the principles of science and the irrevocable laws that govern the universe; and, in this way, force the likes of Rose to reckon with the reality of things and truth itself.
