@@gravitatemortuus1080 It's crazy to think we are actually starting to go backwards. When the Internet came to be it was thought to make us far more intelligent but people are still selective on what they want to know.

Indeed.And that is a threat to those trying to control the collective awareness of the world. There are those who work very hard to keep certain groups of people in the dark and ignorant. This tact has worked for decades among some generations and erected collective barriers that have mentally and spiritually imprisoned people.

[@Kipperbob]

Sowells work should be taught all over the globe, the dude has spent his whole life in the pursuit of fact based knowledge, it is such a shame that the vast majority of people don't even know who he is. It's great that you are pursuing the path of life long learning.

[@janelleg597]

His book Basic Economics is extremely fascinating. I would have loved to learn this stuff in high school

[@DenUitvreter]

I like him, but he's connecting dots with a very broad brush. There's a strength in that but he's limited by his perspective and seems not to notice he lacks specific knowledge because of this style. He puts American history and American perception of history into perspective by looking at Britain, through an English lens, and for example ignores the fact that Scots often consider themselves to have been ahead of England for a large part of the Middle Ages, before the English started to dominate them. And Britain is only Britain, there was a lot more going on in the world.

[@Kipperbob]

@@DenUitvreter when you dig deeper into Sowells writing he does back up his claims fairly well, and it's hard to argue with the fact that the cultures with the greater technological advancement have always brought greater and greater prosperity into the world as they spread their influence, being Irish it's not a nice thing to have to admit after all the centuries of cultural oppression my own ancestors went through, but the British influence in Ireland including the English language has enabled Irish people to conduct business all over the globe, I wouldn't wish to see what Ireland would be like now if we had never had the evils of the British empire, because we also inherited a lot of valuable assets in the process. It's just a shame that our ancestors had to be enslaved for centuries and suffer so much in order for us to get to here and now. But in the end, the here and now is a pretty sweet time and place to be. Better than 800 plus years ago before we knew about England or Europe living in small tribal groups constantly at war with each other over stolen cows sheep or women.

[@kimobrien.]

Sowell has read Karl Marx's Das Kapital on his own and decided that the capitalist do not exploit the working class among other things. Petersen was a Social Democrat as a young person. Like Sowell he travels in the world of Western Intellectuals he must of liked Gorbachev since he named on of his daughter after him. Gorbachev though rose in the party because as a child he wrote the most slavish praise of Stalin. Sowell is quite boring and predictable as a neoliberal. Petersen seems to be someone more like Trump who has struck on some nerves, bashed some ruling class figures, institutions and been under attack for it.

Becoming an amateur historian and collector of Greek and Roman antiquities led me to the path of critical thinking and historically informed views. History always repeats, and only those ignorant of history fail to comprehend this. So, why is it that US, and Western, academics want to eliminate the teaching of objective history? So you don't realize it is repeating.

[@Safaridor]

I would disagree, and point out how far Critical theory itself has caused academics to try to build civilization from the ground up. Their idea of objective history is to point out where these societies failed; to think of what could have been a better solution; and present that solution for the betterment of our current society.

[@dbeaton1111]

I've always respected Thomas Sowell for his intellectual integrity. He began as a communist, but then changed his views. One of the most influential (to me) things he said was that when he he was in government. His bosses would make certain decisions designed to help the poor, raise academic standards, etc, mainly based on their ideology. As an analyst, he assumed that they would want to find out if those changes had the expected results, so he created studies to prove or disprove their methods. To his surprise, he discovered that they didn't care to know if their methods worked or not. Sowell's thoughts are based on empirical evidence and the historical record: what happened, what worked, and what did not. The left is firmly stuck in ideology and feelings, and facts be damned.

[@JoeBizzle]

Slavs weren't the first slaves. Slavery has been around since the beginning of humanity. The word Slave is an English word who's origins came from the Slavs, because those were the slaves of that time and place.

[@brcage]

The reason slaves are derived from slav, us because historically (and as Sowell just pointed out) Language and literature made its way out of western Europe, so ot only makes sense theyd adoot the descriptive word from a western language.

Thomas Sowell also pointed out that African American slaves weren't stolen by white people. They were sold to White slavers by other Black Africans. Slavery only became repugnant in the last few centuries and slavery was a part of most cultures. It is a relatively recent phenomenon that the bulk of the world's Governments agree that slavery is not a good thing.

[@scottgalloway9445]

I was blessed to have read Sowell’s Ethnic America : a History when I was 25. It changed my life by giving me a different and better perspective of the history of mankind. Skin color does not define us. Our beliefs, behaviors and attitudes will determine our success or failure.

[@kimobrien.]

Capitalism and the system of private profits can not stay out of wars and economic crisis. The logic of profit spells the end of the system of profits since the increase of capital in production lead to an inevitable decline in the rate of profit by which capital judges success. Greed drives investment and only investments that expand production produce real profits investments in fictitious capital inevitably lead to crisis when the price collapses. The success of the bosses produces the inevitable downturn. To exit the down turn the debts must be increased or capital destroyed. Yours is a system that can only march towards war and fascism.

[@tballstaedt7807]

I think it's a tragedy that young men, especially young black men have been deprived of such a stellar mentor/ father figure/role model like Tom Sowell by mainstream political culture.

[@johnreed4159]

Yes, and social justice leaders profit from the continued ignorance - never heard Sharpton or Jackson share a biblical gospel or truth as deep as Sowell. BLM, a communist organization wore a great label and made their money - no agenda to help blacks other than themselves; agenda is to tear America and capitalism down, but loved buying themselves those million dollar homes. Democrats are the real pros - just like Ronald Reagen warned, "We're from the government and hear to help". Democrats have been helping themselves on the black people's dimes. Hillary Clinton's hero in 2016 campaign should tell you something - Daughter of the Confederacy, white supremacist, Margaret Sanger, mother of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood's intended purpose? Women's rights? Not even close! Extermination of black babies in the inner city. What percentage of country is black? What percentage of aborted babies are black? Gocernment-sanctioned, Democrat-supported, tax-payer-funded annihilation of black babies. No more black babies = no more black adults in the future. Vote Obama, vote Clinton, vote Biden. Trump was the racist? Orange man bad - and you just kept believing them. If you're looking at someone else they demonize, then you're not looking closer at them - the way they like it!

I discovered before I even started school that those pages could take me far, far away from the poverty and abuse that I grew up in. So I read every single book I could get my hands on.

7:37 Slavery is extremely old. Our modern word for it "slavery" does come from the Slavs who were forced into slavery in the Middle Ages, but slavery as an institution is at least thousands of years old, likely older. In fact, some interesting words you use refer to slavery in some way, without you ever knowing. For instance the word "family" ultimately derives from "Famulus" meaning servant or slave in Latin, to which later in Rome the word "familia" would refer not to just your blood kin, but _also_ the slaves that lived with you. This term was not what it is today, necessarily. Unfortunately subjugating our brothers and sisters has been a hallmark of humanity for a long time.

[@richardsandals785]

Thomas is fantastic. So articulate and has that ability to explain issues that seem complex in a way that I can get a handle on them. Absolute legend!

[@evoxpop2088]

It's never too late to learn and broaden our horizons. Thomas Sowell has a great analytical mind for facts, which I like. Thanks for posting.

Thomas Sowell is brilliant. I’ve learned more from him then I learned from my time in college . Thanks for reviewing his videos!

[@squadgeman3247]

I recommend for everyone to buy this man's books and really take the time to understand what he says. You only get a taste from what is posted on KZbin.

Bruh, my whole world view changed listening to and reading Dr. Sowell. I appreciate this brotha so much.

[@timothygarrett2785]

The main thing about this man other than his intellect and his knowledge, is the very fact that he speaks to you in a reasonable manner. He’s not trying to browbeat you into thinking a certain way, he’s not demanding that you think exactly like he thinks or else he ostracizes you, he gives you information explains it and then allows you to make your own decisions. That is a true teacher.

Hi, it's great that you've found Dr Thomas Sowell. I've learnt loads from him. When I tell people though, they often get angry with me!😅

History has a lot of lessons when you get hip to it. Plus it helps point out the liars of today.

[@MusbCrazy80]

His wisdom is so solid you feel like ud be less of a person for not hearing his views.

Tom Sowell is one of the good and honest historians Left out there...good video

[@IB-qs1mi]

Me too. I learned a lot listening to Thomas Sowell.

[@elisenelson5736]

I feel out of my depth too. Love hearing from people like him, I've got a lot to learn.

[@hockemeyer1]

Thomas Sowell is one of the most knowledgeable people on this planet. I believe his knowledge forms his position on issues rather than politics or feelings. I believe Thomas Sowell to be an honest man and like you Van, i would have loved to have sat in his classrooms. I think that would have been a privilege. When I was of college age and he was teaching, my school records would not have allowed me to study at Cornell. I learned in the Navy in 1967, instead.

We are all learning when we are listening to this brilliant man.

[@noahbodie3075]

You still have the opportunity to learn from the great minds of today and yesterday. These days you don't even have to go to the library.

[@kingdawid2605]
