Tell me again why it is not commonly given as assigned reading in high schools?

Hanson is asked to comment on Sowell’s diagnosis. Politicians exploited the human urge for reparative equality. This has empowered the Left in power, not seen since 1932. Yet the results of their policies are manifest in “systemic collapse”. The collapse of norms and cultural institutions.

Imagine how much poorer we all would be (in intellect, and, perhaps dollars) had he made the roster and pursued a career in baseball rather than economics.

As much a shame is the lack of attention and praise for Justice Clarence Thomas. Politics or judicial views aside; his life journey is nothing short of astounding. He is truly someone worthy of admiration and praise.

It is truly a shame. The media will trot out carpetbaggers like Sharpton and his ilk, but they totally ignore a real intellectual who is driven by………drum roll please…………….facts.

It’s very good. I didn’t know the stuff about IQ averages. Would that our President at age 80 had one half of Sowell’s intellect and energy at age 93.

He still has his Sunday night show
wow! (Gotta wonder if this new, additional slot is the Fox News “experts” still working to fix the damages from firing Tucker!)
Anyway, Levin’s 1st guest was Thomas Sowell!
His new book will hit the stores this coming Tuesday.
What a superstar!! An amazing thinker & writer, still clear, wise & quick at 93.
I hope he has another great decade!
We need such great people!

I especially enjoyed that the interviewer gently guided the discussion, but never imposed his own opinions or talked over his guest, as so many “interviewers” do.
