Great insight; the manifesto is designed to disrupt societies/organizations and sow the seeds of "revolution"
Comment from : EVERYDAY TAEKWONDO

Timeless interview, there will never be a day when the words spoken here are not applicable to society
Comment from : Bud The Cyborg

Did this guy really say that there is no "income distribution" because its agreed upon by capital and labor before the value is made Does he not remember slavery? Isnt he black? God bless his ignorant soul
Comment from : Nike Montoya

I like how he refers to 'intellectuals' in the 3rd person as if he isn't one himself This isn't a tradesman, this is someone who speaks for a living Real intellectualism is understanding each persons role in the chain of the command For example who was classed as 'essential' during the pandemic? Was it the 'artists' 'musicians' 'business owners' 'politicians' 'office workers'? No, it was the carers, teachers, farmers, the train conductors etc We should be providing the essentials for those people and taking care of those people because without them we'd be nothing The upper class has swindled the working class by not treating them with dignity and respect but now their positions are being challenged by people on the left & they don't like being pushed down from their ivory towers so they smear workers every chance they getbrbrEveryone in this damned comment section is singing his praise for what? Because he has a fancy suit on Please, give me a break
Comment from : xJLM

Wow, in this video he addressed all the nonsense that is going on now in May 2023 brbrWhen asked if we have became a nation of intellectuals he said: “It's a chilling thought because we're becoming a nation of people who are propagandized from elementary school right on through to the graduate school, in a certain vision of the world, and only the ones who, for one reason or another, are either experienced or insight or whatever leads them to say, wait a minute, only those are the ones that we have to depend on” Now this propaganda is beginning even earlier brbrAmerica us upside down and most Americans can't see it Just hope we have enough people with insight to clean all this mess

Comment from : Tuneshi

So by Mr Sewell's reasoning, we shouldn't trust our institutions just because they are powerful This is a tragic logical error He is only intellectually impressive to folks who are themselves far from intellectually impressive
Comment from : Tman

Mr Sowell is a Phenomenon of Wisdom

That anecdote about the aircraft landing gear is priceless One personal mantra throughout my adult life has been, "What do we 'know' that is actually worth knowing?'" For 50yrs of working life I was a cabinetmaker surrounded by dangerous tools and equipment that could remove my hands or kill me in an instant It took a long time to learn how to behave and succeed in that kind of environment Point being: production separates wheat from chaff Sowell is right about ideas

Comment from : Steven Fernandes

"Think of all the absurd things that have been believed throughout all of history I guess the one common denominator is those absurd things typically were very flattering for those who believed them They were the one true faith They were the vanguard of the proletariat"
Comment from : taf

I'd say this is an excellent example of a bright mind constrained by a conservative framework But this is perfectly fine in case parties are ready to discuss all these acute issues
Comment from : Sergey Cleftsow

Jordan Peterson and Thomas Sowell, should write a book togetheras their thoughts coincide with each other on an economic basis and a psychological basis Awesome!
Comment from : Coco7795

In 2022, I got the impression that wokeness started slowly going bad in 2010 and really got track 2015 Seems it’s a rather old problem

Still relevant in 2022 and beyond
Comment from : ___FOKKER___

We do NOT all have the same potential I would say we all deserve the right to develop the potential we do have I have studied chess and every Bobby Fischer game What I really learned is that I don't have the potential to be a chess grand master like Fischer I understand concepts but can't visualize consequences of moves like him I can never play basketball like Michael Jordan I can never sing like Caruso I can't play jazz like Charlie Parker I can't understand most of what Einstein talked about I have attempted all the above Thankfully I discovered my potential in graphic communication and web programming

This man is a national treasure! It is so sad that his knowledge and wisdom is dismissed in the mainstream and instead we are force fed the lies of the left as truthbrBTW he has the greatest laugh!
Comment from : frzndgood

WOW 16:50 ! Sowell's observation mentioned at that moment lays bare one of the reasons for the confounding behavior of humans as members of a society This is one reason why people like Sowell are so treasured ane who's works must be read and thought about
Comment from : Deuce Decker

Insightful and incredibly relevant In many ways ahead of the times!
Comment from : Mike Land

Society's problem today is that now every non intellectual, or the most common of ignoramus with a tik tok or YouTube channel is perceived by the masses to have important opinions

So an economist waxes lyrical about intellectuals and academia while railing against a linguist who gives commentary on politics? Dunning-Kruger-ception?
Comment from : Primitive Futurologist

I feel like I should devote some time to reading his books Guess I'll be going to the library
Comment from : Brian Schuetz

“Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it”

Comment from : Ruwan PE MS CCE CCM

Thomas Sowell is one of the rare men of wisdom and "uncommon" common sense "Intellectuals whose work in a narrow field does not qualify them as an expert in other fields" Stepping into a different field leads to absurdity,
Comment from : Dr Terri

"There's nothing older than the idea that, 'This is new'" - Thomas SowellbrbrA clever restatement of "There's nothing new under the sun,"said in a way that people will see as a new way of looking at things :)
Comment from : The Rose

"I was spending my parents money when I was 20 years old" Okay thank God I'm not the only one
Comment from : Kaysie Hesebeck

The reason Dr Sowell and Obama are very different despite similar academic pedigrees is that Dr Sowell is an intelligent and honest man with integrity who does not crave power over others, nor demand adulation from them, while Obama is a shallow second-hander whose only sense of self comes from others’ worship of him That, and other obvious trappings like fame and wealth, is why Obama craves power, and is willing to tout the lib/progressive lies to get it
