Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World - Full Video

Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World traces Sowell's journey from humble beginnings to the Hoover Institution, becoming one of this era's greatest economists, political philosophers, and prolific authors. Hosted by Jason Riley, a member of "The Wall Street Journal" editorial board, this one-hour program features insights from Sowell and interviews with his close friends and associates, revealing why the intensely private Thomas Sowell is considered by many to be "one of the greatest minds of the past half-century" and "the smartest person in the room." © 2020 / 1 episode @ 1 hr.

I lost a debate with Mr. Sowell a little more than a decade ago. He so thoroughly beat me that it made me stop and rethink everything that I thought I knew. He changed my life and I'm forever grateful.

NONAMESLEFTNONE... fyi... it's the Papacy that promotes Climate Change... they are the Deep State. They are the power that is "subverting" society behind the scenes. They are like an Aspen Grove with many trees but one root system. The Illuminati, the U.N., the EU, the WEF, the CFR, CIA, NSA, the IMF, the Federal Reserve, the "banksters," the Club of Rome, the Council of 300, the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, Hollywood, and the Mainstream Media are just some of the trees that make up that grove. They are using the Hegelian Dialectic to achieve their goals (problem, reaction, solution). And as Catechism 2188 shows, part of their solution for society's problems is a Sunday law. That's also why they promote Climate Change. It's about getting non-religious people on board with a Sunday law for the sake of lowering carbon emissions and saving the planet: adventmessenger.org/over-650-catholic-organization-world-wide-are-working-to-implement-the-popes-green-sunday-law/ If you go to www.anym.org/pdf/National_Sunday_Law.pdf you can read a free pdf Bible study that talks about the coming conflict between God's seventh-day Sabbath vs. the Pope's man-made Sunday sacredness. It identifies the two beasts of Revelation 13, the anti-Christ, and what the Mark of the Beast is all about and how to avoid getting it. Btw... if you are not convinced about the Jesuits and the Vatican... did you know both of Trump's nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court went to the same elite Jesuit high school in Bethesda, MD? www.nytimes.com/2018/07/10/us/kavanaugh-gorsuch-georgetown-prep.html Think about the power it takes to pull something like that off. And Trump's latest appointment to the Supreme Court (Amy Barrett) is also Catholic. The Papacy is looking to implement their social teaching called "the common good." It's ideology is Collectivist in nature and is opposed to the American concept of Individualism. If you're still not buying the Papacy is the Deep State... go into Google images and type "Vatican City snake head audience hall." As you look at that picture... think about where the Pope is sitting when he talks to the audience. If you're looking for more Red Pill knowledge about the global elite, Dr. Walter Veith is a great resource. He was into the occult world before becoming a Christian and has some very well documented PowerPoint presentations that are loaded with pictures and are real eye openers.

[@eileencastillo6323]

Particular white people are SO obssessed with the word racist and with being labled a racist.

Ohhh no, you're arrogant entitled privilege insists that the targets of racism are the blame for YOUR racism. Like spoiled cry babies. If you don't want to be labeled a racist then quit acting like one.

ALL DEMOCRATIC PARTY policies and initiatives... not ALL white or Orange people... meanwhile Democrats selected Biden who supported the 1994 crime bill, gave a eulogy and praise for KKK top recruiter and supports the above racist policies.

Those who are serious enough about themselves and others will find them and learn lifelong lessons from them, share from their more valuable than riches kind of wisdom and refreshing perspectives. The powers that be don’t want that. Real enlightenment and education of regular people goes against their interest. They need modern day numb and dumb serfs. They use their tools - the media, the public education system that they have been allowed to control for too long - to produce exactly the kind of masses they want.

I decided to finish a college degree that I had begun 20 years before, and I chose Economics in large part to the influence of Thomas Sowell. I believe the greatest lesson I have learned from him was to evaluate the evidence as it is presented. I often find when I have found areas where I have disagreed with Thomas Sowell's ideas it was because I wanted to not accept what he said, not because I had objectively listened to the arguments and decided. Regardless if your children embrace his ideas as you have, I bet they will still benefit from the positive outcomes you received from his work as they will probably have a positive effect on you and that will roll down hill. Maybe when they get to the age of rebellion, you can forbid all the intellectuals that you actually agree with so their rebellion will naturally lead them right into their arms, ha ha......

And in this day and age, even these "suggestions" are being considered outdated and racist....a sad state indeed.... Being born in the early 60's, this is not what I was taught growing up. When you feel an injustice has been propagated, you address it, and TOGETHER you solve it. Period. Both sides are entitled to be heard, regardless of what the narrative is following. Period. One of the first things I was taught when beginning my journey into the realms of higher education was that "Critical, Open Minded Thinking" will be the key to unlocking the answers I will be seeking to fulfill my requirements. How right they were, and continue to be....but not only when it refers to education, but to so many differing aspects of my ever changing life and the world around me. He may not have all the answers, (Mr. Sowell), but what he does share with us makes enough sense to make us stop and think.

I got introduced to her book the new left by my dad, and that was an amazing book. It hit too close to home when she started talking about the comprachicos. I am also reading her book on epistemology, which is amazing. It is hard, and I have had to start over from the beginning again, but it is still a good book. Too bad no one my own age has heard of Ayn Rand. Not many teens are into that. Although maybe the top commenter might be interested in discussing ayn rand.

Sowell is one of those intellects I point to that the left ignores because he doesn't understand the struggle. Oh, and he happens to be black...born in 1930...

I just found out Walter Williams passed away just over a month ago in December. The world lost a mighty man.

Thomas Sowell wrote a moving obituary for Walter. Worth reading.

The Saiyern... fyi... it's the Papacy that promotes Climate Change... they are the Deep State. They are the power that is "subverting" society behind the scenes. They are like an Aspen Grove with many trees but one root system. The Illuminati, the U.N., the EU, the WEF, the CFR, CIA, NSA, the IMF, the Federal Reserve, the "banksters," the Club of Rome, the Council of 300, the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, Hollywood, and the Mainstream Media are just some of the trees that make up that grove. They are using the Hegelian Dialectic to achieve their goals (problem, reaction, solution). And as Catechism 2188 shows, part of their solution for society's problems is a Sunday law. That's also why they promote Climate Change. It's about getting non-religious people on board with a Sunday law for the sake of lowering carbon emissions and saving the planet: adventmessenger.org/over-650-catholic-organization-world-wide-are-working-to-implement-the-popes-green-sunday-law/ If you go to www.anym.org/pdf/National_Sunday_Law.pdf you can read a free pdf Bible study that talks about the coming conflict between God's seventh-day Sabbath vs. the Pope's man-made Sunday sacredness. It identifies the two beasts of Revelation 13, the anti-Christ, and what the Mark of the Beast is all about and how to avoid getting it. Btw... if you are not convinced about the Jesuits and the Vatican... did you know both of Trump's nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court went to the same elite Jesuit high school in Bethesda, MD? www.nytimes.com/2018/07/10/us/kavanaugh-gorsuch-georgetown-prep.html Think about the power it takes to pull something like that off. And Trump's latest appointment to the Supreme Court (Amy Barrett) is also Catholic. The Papacy is looking to implement their social teaching called "the common good." It's ideology is Collectivist in nature and is opposed to the American concept of Individualism. If you're still not buying the Papacy is the Deep State... go into Google images and type "Vatican City snake head audience hall." As you look at that picture... think about where the Pope is sitting when he talks to the audience. If you're looking for more Red Pill knowledge about the global elite, Dr. Walter Veith is a great resource. He was into the occult world before becoming a Christian and has some very well documented PowerPoint presentations that are loaded with pictures and are real eye openers.

Sowell ignores the role of capitalist greed and the so called innovative banking industry. Sowells game is to show that capitalism has two sides to the same coin.

[@brutonano9521]

@@kimobrien. The other side is also greedy. However, today's capitalism is nothing but putrid wretched excess at this point in your reference to the banking industry.

[@kimobrien.]

@@brutonano9521 All that finance capitalism has become is giant gambling casino with industrial capitalism providing the surplus value to gamble with. The very success of finance capitalism's profiteering undercuts its ability to advance the productive forces. The rise in capital value also means the reduction of labor time which results in declining profit rates in capitalist industry when markets are already overflowing with overproduction.

One can learn more from listening to Thomas Sowell for one hour, than from listening to the average college professor for four years.

Yes, he should be. I found him recently and my husband who's black had never heard of him. I can't wait to read the books of his I just ordered online :-)
