Oh for the love of god reach out to Joe and get on the JRE .
Essentially, all or nearly all of these discussions comes back to reparations. Way back when, the promise was forty acres and a mule in exchange for black votes.
Today, diversity and inclusivity can be found in this their main narrative: "We're here for you. You had it bad as slaves, and here are all the perks we Dems are giving you. Vote Dem, and your lives will get progressively better."
All lies of course, but the lies from the Repubs aren't any better. Independents like Bernie? Not helpful. LSS, it's a broken system. Help is a long ways off.
I'm commenting about something else other than voting. I'm trying to examine the narrative that depicts all American blacks as being members of this endlessly put-upon demographic. Constantly elbowed away from "the good life" today, and yesterday, and the day before that, and, well, it goes back to their slave days.
Or does it?
The main (only?) "what slavery was like" narrative includes nothing but whuppins and massa graping black women. Non stop. But you can get more ants with honey than with vinegar. So was it all vinegar and no honey?? Was slavery really one beating after another, one snuggle/struggle after another for all the black women?
Every time we look at very dark/black African Americans, and they claim to trace their roots back to the slave days, what we are seeing in their skin tone is evidence that their great great grandmothers were not graped by massa. Moreover, their great grannies were also not graped by massa. Their grannies? Not graped.
Making beautiful, sweet music in the bedroom is often considered honey. If you were a buck, and you did your chores, often you were rewarded with some bedtime snuggling with that hawt piece of honey (if she consented, too, of course).
So yes slavery was awful. But part of the con job is that slavery was all vinegar. And the Dem's con job continues today.
Woah the legend himself! God Bless!
Joe rogan is perpetually learning, yet perpetually ignorant.
Joe really needs to sit down with Dr. Sowell before we lose him.
Amen!
The entire west should sit down with Dr. Sowell..
🙏
Totally agree!
I so hope that happens
“Nobody is equal to anybody. Even the same man is not equal to himself on different days.”
- Thomas Sowell
That's an amazing quote! So true that it makes you laugh by yourself.
Brilliant
Now that right there is something to ponder.
Episode JRE EP 897 with Hunter Maars.
That's a great quote. I'm always chasing after this best version of myself. I can get a little down when I'm not that person which obviously doesn't help the pursuit.. Maybe I should lower the bar a little and accept that isn't always obtainable.
It would seem to be the pursuit of the best version of myself without really worrying about whether I am that version or not that brings out the best version of me.
(probably just listening to as much Jordan Peterson and Tom Sowell as I can is the best medicine...that Tom Sowell quote got me thinking for sure )
Thomas Sowell should be a household name. He is a national treasure.
In the Internet age, _especially,_ he should be an international treasure too.
best thing about Sowell is that when you go back and listen to his interviews during his early career everything he talks about perfectly illustrates modern day America. He was truly ahead of his time and unbelievably intelligent.
Sowell is a treasure. His "basic economics" should be required reading in schools.
It would never be allowed because within one generation, humanity would chase most school unions out of towns with pitchforks and warnings to never come back. Maybe one in one hundred unions would get a cautious okay on remaining. Maybe.
You basically stole this from my mind! I would love to see how to spread his wisdom among young people and create Sowell clubs in high schools
I don't sometimes agree with everything his facts suggest however since I am not going to research the subjects yes all of his books should be required reading
It would encourage others to do research
Right on.
Took the words outta my mouth,,,, Joe should have him on,,,,, it's culture not race,,, simple as,,,, ❤️🇮🇪🇺🇲
One of my favorite quotations:
_”When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.”_
― Thomas Sowell
....profound.
what group has has had more preferential treatment than any other group in housing, loans and never had a law passed against them that guaranteed being treated less than other groups in society?
@@1969cmp what group has has had more preferential treatment than any other group in housing, loans and never had a law passed against them that guaranteed being treated less than other groups in society?

@@jimmyboy1582 that would be wrong. Jewish people have earned everything they have.
Joe.....come on, dude. Get Sowell on the show, before it's too late....one of the brightest minds we have left!
Go to Joe's page and DEMAND HE HAS DR SOWELL ON THE SHOW! Joe has had some real garbage guests on his show. Joey Diaz. An angry drunk. Who the hell cares what Joey Diaz has to say about anything - unless its cocaine and hookers cause Joey is an expert on those things... So Joey has been on Rogan heaps of times, but he hasn't had Dr Sowell on ONCE. WTF???
How did Joe miss Thomas Sowell. Hes been a conservative voice in America forever. Sowell is the giant whose shoulders Rogan rides!
The same reason the mainstream media did, they ignored him, he’s a threat to their ideologies.. Joe has finally got away and now can start thinking for himself
"If 70 years ago I said everyone should be treated equally, I would have been considered a radical. If today I said everyone should be treated equally, I would be considered a racist" - Thomas Sowell.
That’s common logic
i don't know when he said it but from todays date that would be 1952 I don't a radical would be the word they use, and if in the South I'm pretty sure they wouldn't, and a racist, are you sure he said that?
@@willie417 That would be very, very radical in the 1950s south. There were riots throughout the 1960s and the civil rights act in 1964 for a reason...
@@philsburydoboyso you don't think anyone said that? anyway it may have been radical. those southern whites would have called him something, but they wouldn't have used the word radical

'Black Rednecks & White Liberals' is among the single most important books ever written, as it demonstrates the brutal impact of Culture on both society and individuals.
It like Housing Boom and bust
Really answered some lingering questions that I could not figure out myself.
I re-read it or listen to it in audio form often. It's so important. It should be required reading for every US citizen.
Try Wealth, Poverty and Politics
@@TheRomanticsWB it should be a required reading for High School kids.
It’s a great read! It was a real eye opener on society and why things are they way they are.
Thomas Sowell is a brilliant researcher.
only in his field he is clueless about the world out side of his field.
@@tonyamartin1425a comment from someone without a BRAIN, OH thanks so much😂😂😂FJB and YOU Tony the loser😂😂
Two points-
Thomas Sowell is the man and it’s ok to love Jesus.

AMEN
@@jsmall10671go back to school.
Thomas Sowell is an American treasure. The man more than deserves the highest civilian award possible.
100%
Absolutely!
And yet he is almost invisible why? Because he's telling the truth
He's one of the most brilliant Americans alive today.
@@quierovermitubo Because liberal now even worse woke media hates him.
Thomas has a lot of common sense coupled with an intensive understanding of culture and history.
I read "had" and panicked. Minor heart attack there.
@@vyse102 me too
There are not his books in Spanish. We need. And subtitles in English or Spanish. I love him.
He's been a public figure for over 40 years but has 120K subs on youtube because he speaks to a small fringe of pathetic man children
He is Genius!!
I discovered Thomas Sowell about a year ago, absolutely blown away at the clarity of thought.
Same here, I can't believe I just learned of him. He is not talked about enough and he needs to be.
What works of sowell would you guys recommend
@@AB-hc7xsnone they are garbage

sowell is dead
@@mrcampo19 False.
That would be such a good podcast!
@@mrcampo19 Since when?
Just recently discovered Thomas Sowell.
As a black man in America, I've never had my world turned so upside down in my life. And its a beautiful thing, the knowledge and understanding.
I do agree with Hunter Maats. The way to approach racism isn't to just say its bad, you have to remove the distinctions that separate us as humans. Like Morgan Freeman said you get rid of racism by stop talking about it, "I won't call you a white man, and you don't call me a black man. I'm Morgon Freeman".
I'm a white guy from the UK and Sowell also blew my mind. A true hero
Classic Morgon
I wish more people were like you. Unfortunately there’s a crowd that just call him a racist for various reasons that are complete trash
The sad truth is that it's difficult to not talk about something as unimportant as skin color. As humans, we like to point out things that are different from us and make up words for them. I am only a white man because darker skin pigments exist. It's so silly.
I was able to hear him speak once in person. A defining moment for me.
Thomas Sowell is the smartest living American. His ability to speak clearly, to describe complex ideas in simple language that everyone can understand, and to reason carefully is unmatched.
I wonder now why he failed to mention the G.I. Bill or the fact that the federal government completely propped up white people for the suburbs. Black people need not apply to either. So after World War II, there is the loss of a free education and legacy wealth for black Americans. Curious, he left out such huge details.
"Now that's a STUPID statement!"....
The Smartest living American, lol, definitely not. There is wayyy smarter people.
@@nate9198Not on your block.
@@Carol-wo3jo Pointless comment
I hope Thomas Sowell reads these comment sections from time to time. It must be extraordinarily rewarding for him to know that he has made such a positive impact on so many people during his career.
No he doesn't as these are just made up paste up CZcams videos.
Go to Joe's page and DEMAND HE HAS DR SOWELL ON THE SHOW! Joe has had some real garbage guests on his show. Joey Diaz. An angry drunk. Who the hell cares what Joey Diaz has to say about anything - unless its cocaine and hookers cause Joey is an expert on those things...

A 92 year old black man teaching the younger generation what the truth is. He's a national treasure many have never heard of.
if only he had another 30yrs to drill into that cement block wall of ignorance
Let me guess your white.... Anyone calling this Oreo a treasure is absolutely WHITE.
Younger generation of who??
@@krwd You silli sossidge.
He is just a talking head and quite ludicrous.
Why is his race significant.
Thomas Sowell’s anti victim mentality has helped me more than he will ever know, he changed my life for the better.
His legacy will live on for some time
Me too, saved my life. I’ve never been happier before than I am today.
@Macro Cosmos haha REEEEEEEEEE
Thomas Sowell is one of the greatest living Americans...
Maats is an excellent communicator. In six minutes he is able to cogently present the gist of Sowell's thesis.
No some of his delivery is absolutely terrible, tone deaf,; subject’s too bothersome to refrain from generalizing, and not fully informed. He does have some points but this is one of those mfers who go create something in AI and that AI would still somehow come out not recognizing a black personality as a person. See so many are alllllll looking for done answer and flaw in black ppl so they can ease their own mind that they mass lack of hiring/promote qualified black ppl, signing only black artist who spew toxic culture and undermine black parenting being effective. Not giving aid/loans to black farmers, keeping quality primary school education at bay in black communities mainly. Failing even in merited black dominated professional industries such as the NFL and NBA, not allowing qualified black athletes to advance to coaching. The amount of acute economic warfare against this community by racism is wild, whether it’s from Taraji P Henson having the number 1 show on tv in 2019 but getting paid 10 times less than the Friends cast at 1 in the 90’s! Or like that recent scandal with Navy Federal credit union that seemed to turn down home loans for equally qualified black ppl, -if it’s not that, then it’s appraisers grossly undervaluing black homes in great condition, in good neighborhoods.
Yet we have to sit through ppl like this guy, generalizing in a very poor manner things about black ppl in a manner that reveals several times, he’s not even interested in the subject he’s trying to explain. Without zero black person present I might add.
Racism is your problem ultimately, not black ppl. So no. Racism doesn’t stop black ppl overall but it sure does slow them down from progression in many ways but that you all sit here like oooh this is so great while your consciously part of the problem… is… interesting
Thank you for educating Joe on Dr. Sowell, certainly the most important historian of our lifetime, but the least celebrated.
Dr. Sowell is incredible, I'm a little surprised Rogan didn't know more about him. Better late than never!!
@@philipmartin2919 You mean "did not need affirmative action"?
Dr. Sowell is a the clearest living thinker.
The only sin is ignorance (of Sir Thomas Sowell), the only evil is the perpetuation of ignorance (of Sir Thomas Sowell), the only 'good' is striving to be brighter-minded which exposure to the mind of His Royal Highness, Sir Thomas Sowell, will do for you,... which happens right after your brain explodes.
@@AANasseh Sowell is a great thinker, but the Chicagoan Schools of Economics pale in comparison to the Austrian Schools.
The fact that Joe did not know Thomas Sowell is amazing for someone many people look to for information. Thomas is in his 90's now and the Matrix media has done a stellar job of keeping him tucked away. He is a critical thinker on steroids and when he passes away we will have lost a national treasure.
That blew my mind-- especially since Sowell is quite popular on CZcams. You'd figure Joe would've stumbled upon him by now. Too busy in his own sphere, I suppose.
Yes! Blew mind mind that Rogan was ignorant to Sowell. Wtf? He better start learning about him now, he really should, then get him on his show.
Yeah that surprised me as well, but Joe's gift is giving other people their voices to be heard. Joe never claims to be the smartest person in the room.
Shocking he was never on the Rogan show. Probably to high brow intelligent for poor old.Joe
@@Bowlardo too. 😛
Well spoken Hunter Maats! This is a worthy introduction to America’s greatest academic and communicator.
Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell is the best book I’ve read and he makes it so easy to understand.
At the heart of it, it’s all common sense.
From what I've heard he believes that money equates to wisdom.... any truth to that
@@oscarinacan That's the whole theory of markets making intelligent decisions, Like other bourgeois economist he believes in money being equivalent to votes and creating a bougois paridice that is free to choose. As far as Sowell is concered you don't need to learn how business works that to much for the reader of book of about a 700 pages. You read wage labor and capital or Value Price and Profit you'll come away with knowing more than that whole book will teach you.
@@kimobrien. cool. Thanks for the info and the recommendations 😀 👍 😊
Thomas Sowell literally obliterated my liberal way of thinking, with facts. Liberals and democrats have fought tooth and nail to keep him hidden from blacks. Get him on the show before he's no longer with us.
He is 92 years old and will be celebrated as a voice of reason posthumously! He has been saying great stuff over 50 years after ridding himself of Marxist ideology while working for the government!
@@reginaford8575 I hope he gets at least as much posthumous recognition as Terence McKenna. He deserves it.
The person who made me a staunch conservative was a radio talk show host in Baltimore named Ron Smith. He was exceptionally well-read and an astute thinker. He was always quoting Thomas Sowell and held him in great esteem. Smith died a number of years ago, and I still miss his show. He taught me a great number of conservative principles that I hold dear today. He's also the reason I got to know and appreciate Professor Sowell.
thomas sowell tells the story with a strange neocon bias
What do you mean your "Liberal way of thinking"?
Mr. Sowell is one of the most intelligent and most important intellectuals of our modern times, and one that the liberal elites are deathly afraid of, that's why they suppress him in any way they could.
Thats why youtube only tells me about new sowell videos when they are a month old. They never tell me when videos are newly released
Have you watched when Sowell was in front of congress and biden was in charge of the meeting? It was great.
HE IS NOT AN "INTELLECTUAL" HE IS A CRITICAL THINKER!!!!
@@jarberwoks8399 Mr. Sowell handled it like a pro
he schooled Biden 😂
I love Thomas Sowell and should be honored as one of the greatest intellectuals of all time!
Absolutely should be. But never will be honored as such because he doesn't follow the brainwashed narrative. Just imagine how far along blacks would be had they listened to and followed a man like Thomas Sowell as opposed to race-hustlers like Jackson, Sharpton, Kendi, Reid, and countless others.
The worst thing about listening to Thomas Sowell is how embarrassed you feel inside when the light bulb flicks on and you realise what he's saying is not only spot on but the opposite of what you always believed.
I've never felt more stupid when listening to Sowell. Despite that I love him. He is one of the most important people of our generation.
sowell is a liar and unintelligent.
the blacks that do well are uncle toms FACT.
the blacks that refuse white rule are persecuted FACT.
after slavery there was an effort to reduce unemployment by imprisoning homeless blacks FACT.
you like what sowell says because it means you don't have to face the truth of racism.
the uncle tom is the greatest liar and crook on this planet.
This!! I found Sowell maybe a year ago and NO ONE I know, knows who he is.
Go to Joe's page and DEMAND HE HAS DR SOWELL ON THE SHOW! Joe has had some real garbage guests on his show. Joey Diaz. An angry drunk. Who the hell cares what Joey Diaz has to say about anything - unless its cocaine and hookers cause Joey is an expert on those things...

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. Unfortunately, most people in this country have never heard of him.
Just found out about him today
So true! It's a real disgrace to have such a true scholar be cut out of the conversation. Here's to hoping that Joe can use his platform to help correct this, but although he is a morally strong guy, I am not sure even he has his company's backing to present these topics to his audience.
It’s because his thinking doesn’t fit the leftist narrative, democrats want the black vote so they want to keep the race division going
I had not heard of him until today and I’m 63. He’s a genius!
I know him. Great man. Greetings from Berlin.
He's a self described conservative libertarian Joe needs too get him on the show before it's too late
It would be amazing Joe is himself a bit of a "classic liberal" with some libertarian leanings, tinged with the tiniest glimmer of fiscal conservatism once in a while. It would be interesting to hear them discuss... just about anything.
It's too late.
It was one of the saddest days of my life when watching an interview with Dr Sowell and he was asked if he was still hopeful about our chances to turn this thing around .. and Dr Sowell answered that he was not.
My heart sank; Granddad has given up on us.
As far as I know that was his last public interview.
I pray that he is sitting in a comfy rocker in the warm sun, cat purring his lap, Miles Davis softly in his ear.
You did all you could, Dr Sowell, left us a treasure trove of wisdom and a template to follow.
It's up to us now.
Thank you.
He’s over 90 years old and doesn’t travel.
@@brassbear3373 send the private jet with chauffeur and nurse Lolo got to be a way have Joe go to him
Absolutely!
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. He is an unbiased scientist.
Sowell is someone whom if you missed on reading or listening to you would miss out on a lot of deep and meaningful understandings of how to approach many things that you may have taken for granted or leaned incorrectly in your life.
Even here in Germany, some people know Thomas Sowell and deeply value him as a very honest, intelligent man. He is a true gift to humanity!!! ❤
I can safely with validy deduce the far plurality of Germans cannot assimilate the nuances in historical cultural sociopolitical economic dynamic landscape in history of AfroAmericans. Specifically AfroAmericans nexus to the evolved aggregate financial and social status standings without assaying the adverse generational consequences of AfroAmericans from the historic experience of AfroAmericans in United States due to enslavement of AfroAmericans. To the obverse in the generational benefits of Whites unique experience in American History. Sowell thesis is an underlying specious conclusion all adverse generational consequences of slaveries are amalgam of parity. Which is an absurd specious conclusions.
A voice of reason Sowell is...
@@dougfredricks2017
Did you say Thomas Sowell is a voice of reason? The central thrust in the premise of Thomas Sowell's writings is antithetical to Thomas Sowell's own life. As a child Thomas Sowell's family relocated from the Jim Crow South to New York. Had not Thomas Sowell's family relocated to New York from the wretched constraints upon AfroAmericans lives growing up in the Jim Crow South. We would had never known Thomas Sowell as we know him today. The Jim Crow South imposed significant adverse suppressive generational consequences upon AfroAmericans. Unfortunately the enormity in the multitudes of AfroAmericans in the Jim Crow South were unable to flee or relocate from the Jim Crow South. The suppressive adverse generational consequences to AfroAmericans from the Jim Crow South was due to the ramifications of AfroAmerican slavery that benefitted generational consequences of White slave holders. Did you say Thomas Sowell is a voice of reason? With astute probity it can be extracted Thomas Sowell has mastered the art of polemics. Thomas Sowell could have taught Socrates a thing or two on the Socratic Method. Thomas Sowell is a voice of polemics.

Your post was merely a vehicle to the viewers who read posts to examine what appears to be an unchallenged convention.

"When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself you tell them what they want to hear"
Thomas Sowell
Why do you think they gave him that endowed chair as the Milton Freedman senor fellow at the Hoover institute.
@@kimobrien. because he doesn't follow that critical " garbage race " theory which has the roots of critical theory.
@@bockscar1 He tells conservatives what they want to hear.
@@kimobrien. you should practice what you preach if you like that system please live in one that is already been established under that system russia , china, cuba , Venezuela and etc don't live in one that is completely the opposite and criticize that will make you a hypocrite .
@@bockscar1 Sorry it doesn't work like that. I live here and we will make a socialist revolution here. The class struggle goes on internationally. The Imperialist nations including the the US/UK invaded the Soviet Union. Leon Trotsky's Red Army defeated them. Once the working class decides it wants socialism nothing can stop them.
In one of Thomas Sowell's books (On Classical Economics), Thomas writes there might never be someone with such varied knowledge on such a wide variety of subjects, and a way of interconnecting them, as John Stuart Mill. I believe Thomas Sowell is the John Stuart Mill of our times. The knowledge he has of the world is astounding, a true gem for humanity.
He subscribes to the mystification of value by denying the labor theory for one of mystification of capital, trade and markets. All he does to try and contradict Marx is to look for ways to try and mystify the meanings of generalizations and tendencies. Like his mentor Milton Friedman he can't give any credit to the union or labor movement. So he finds himself having to mock John L Lewis as the greatest oil salesman. Lewis was a man with a tenth grade education that had worked in a coal mine yet had the ear of Presidents and lead the CIO industrial trade unions.
@@kimobrien. Judging from your comment I going to assume you are very young. So please go and learn about the kind of man Marx was and what destruction his ideas brought to the world. There is a very good abridged version of the Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn which paints a haunting picture of communism in practice. Thomas Sowell himself wrote a good biography on Marx and Engels which you can easily find online in audio format.
@@booster-b3568 I've read some of his writings like the Communist Manifesto. It's not a novel like what Solzhenitsyn produced. Seems to me World war one was started by Austria Hungary declaring war on Serbia in 1914. The CZAR and his family got what they deserved wouldn't you agree? The Provisional Government of Kerensky was collaborating with those who wanted to destroy the revolution and bring back the CZAR like what happened in 1905. It's easy for you to sit in front of a computer and talk. Have you ever seen the pictures taken of the Japanese victims of the atomic bomb? I'm not interested in Sowell's gossip hounds character assassination biography. Solzhenitsyn was six years old when Lenin died. He was 20 when Trotsky was exiled. He was in his thirties and a Major in the Red Army fighting the NAZI's in Europe when he ended up in trouble.
@@kimobrien. your point being?
@@booster-b3568 I knew about the camps and the Stalin Era before the publication of the Gulag so it wasn't a shock. The story in the early years has the red cell being punished for the suicide death of the Water Works Engineer and another instance ware a man who is to be shot unjustly is set free by the soldiers. That sounds like a working justice system not the one that came into being sometime after Lenin death in 1924 and Stalin's next to complete takeover in 1928. I know quite well that a section of the American military and government were just looking for the right time to launch a nuclear war. They talked about openly and probably when Kennedy gave his speech saying nuclear war would mean ashes in our mouths they came to realise at least until the Reagan era that a first strike would not work out that well. I don't believe for a second that the American Communist party was ever in a position to launch any kind of takeover or coup. That whole Red Scare was just an excuse to clamp down on civil liberties, labor and blacks. If and when there is a revolution in this country it will because the ruling capitalist class can no longer solve the problems it creates.
He's totally right and I have listen to Thomas Sowell for years that man is on top of his game it's a shame that this can't be pushed for the truth that it is
Yea but does he make the connection of how jews flooding the U.S. and pushing the ghetto degeneracy with movies and music happened after WWII at the same time? So you got liberals trying to fight racism by exploiting black people, and doing absolutely NOTHING to fix it.
Mr. Sowell my only living hero.
Taught me everything I need to know about ' Basic Economics'
Check out Ron Paul's books too
I didn't like basic economics as a teaching book. He spends too much time on politics and ideas rather than the basics of economics. Youre better off with a college textbook or reading forbes or freakonomics. Intellectuals and Society is a book that will change your life tho.
The only sin is ignorance (of Sir Thomas Sowell), the only evil is the perpetuation of ignorance (of Sir Thomas Sowell), the only 'good' is striving to be brighter-minded which exposure to the mind of His Royal Highness, Sir Thomas Sowell, will do for you,... which happens right after your brain explodes.
Fantastic man and one of my hero’s but not the only one
Jordan Peterson needs a lot of consideration too in the hero classification. Listening and applying their ideas to life will surly improve anyone.
I’ve never seen a thread where everyone agrees. And everyone agrees Thomas Sowell is brilliant and of superior humor.
Don't worry, eventually (if not already) some socialist/communist/left-leaning "fanboi" will post a very well-educated-sounding broad dismissal of everything Sowell has ever said. He will neglect to provide evidence of course, leaving it up to you to research whatever the heck it is he's talking about.

PLEASE GET THOMAS SOWELL ON YOUR SHOW! He is getting up in age so don't lose your opportunity for enlightenment. BTW.. love your show.
Everybody should listen to what Thomas Sowell has to say.
He's great at reading, remembering and regurgitating. I find this out when he was talking about Ireland's history.
If it's anything to go by here then it's more insane levels of reaches to blame whites for the current state of affairs with blacks.
Everyone should but to many people judge him and critique him. man is a genius to me and is well educated we should all take a listen from me. Sowell
He's not just smart; he knows how to communicate things in a way that shows self-evident facts.
I will always laugh at his one word answer to what advice he would give Obama: "Resign."
Yes, yes, exactly!!!! Nailed it!
He conveys complex thoughts with simplicity and understandability
Smarest black man alive
So, an adult ?
His history videos are filled with amazing unknown facts, the research is extremely well done and the analysis is unique and clearly beyond polarizing matters of race, nation and culture, he doesn't talk about you and me, he talks about us and his voice, his voice... A great teacher, if you let him.
❤Sowell. One of the greatest living minds for our times.
Thomas Sowell is a voice of reason & calm in a world obsessed with wokeness!
wokeness = madness
His ideas are challenging at first. You want to reject it because of what we grew up thinking here. But you break through that barrier and ask yourself the question: do we want things to get better or do we want them to stay the same. His ideas are certainly part of a blueprint towards a brighter and more loving future for all of us.

Bingo. We just want everyone to be better off. :)
_“There are no solutions, there are only trade-offs; and you try to get the best trade-off you can get, that's all you can hope for.”_ *~ Thomas Sowell*
What rubbish. Lockdowns and masks are solutions. If they don't work, it's because you didn't lockdown and mask hard enough! Moooaaaarrr!
Believe it or not, this quote got me sober. I started looking everyday as a trade off. I can either start the day productively and spend time with my kids or I can get drunk again.
@@lakersfansince1991 amazing brother. Glad to hear it.
Thomas Sowell is an American treasure.
I first started reading Thomas Sowell's column in the newspaper as teen in the late 1960s. I thought he made sense then and he makes even more sense now.
Joe Rogan needs to get Thomas Sowell on his show. Please God, make this happen.
great idea!
That would be incredible!
6 hour rogan show with Sowel, make it happen aha
The man's 90 year old. I doubt he'll be able to come on.
Mr Sowell is very old now and doesn’t travel.
I listened to the audio book of Sowell's "Black Rednecks and White Liberals". It blew my mind. It felt like I had just completed a college course. Mr. Sowell is a national treasure.
being determines consciousness
Thank you for re-assuring that Mr Sowell. Its somehow heart warming to know that we are all equal and capable of great things and hope isn't lost for no one
Academics hate Sowell. He has far more traction among the business community than in economics departments. The WSJ exposed me more to his thoughts than eight years of college ever did.
If you can get Sowell on the show, I will actually pay money to see that.

Thomas Sowell is one of the most intelligent people of our time. Grateful for him
Very intelligent Man he is
Denial is ubiquitous within the human genome. Thomas Sowell makes common sense arguments that any 8th grader born before 1950 could make. Today's eighth-graders have the intelligence of fourth graders from the past because idiots run America's public schools. Colleges cater to stunted adolescence we're loose morals, and a lack of academic vigor is encouraged.
State schools in America are where children go to be indoctrinated into Marxism. I went to film school in America, and instead of teaching me how to construct good films, I was encouraged to study, feminist theory, postmodernism, and French intellectual socialism. The academies are corrupt.
All in all, you're just Another Brick in the Wall.

@@derekgodfrey5 The questions you have about Haiti are interesting but have nothing to do with what I have cited in the video we are discussing. If you could frame your question in the terms of Thomas Sowell's positions that cite differences in Caribbean black mobility in the US compared to black descendants of slavery in America.
Thomas Sowell is the most brilliant man to come along in years! He speaks facts and can back them up with proof.

I think the biggest reason Sowell is a good communicator - besides an unassailable mastery of the subject - is that his thoughts are organized, which makes him more efficient.
That may seem simple, but even in people we like to think are speaking effectively, how often do they have to say things like, "But first let's back up a bit."?
He doesn't have to backtrack. He knows where the origin of the eventual conclusion is, starts there, then runs straight through to the end. And how often does it take him more than 45 seconds to do it?
It's an answer - not a narrative.
I started reading Thomas Sowell books about 7 years ago. He woke me up to the reality of society we live in. He is amazing.
What did you do with the knowledge?
@@AskAW
What does it matter? Learn for the sake of learning. If your mind's ability to grasp new concepts improves, it will eventually be reflected in how you live your life.
It's the journey NOT the destination that counts.
Eh I listened to this and to say it’s all culture is very narrow in my opinion. He said this shift happened post world war 2. White people served. Black people served. A large portion of black veterans were denied the benefits white soldiers were given from the gi bill. A big benefit was the ability to own a home. The white soldiers were able to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and better themselves and over a million black veterans were denied that opportunity. To say it’s all culture is silly.
@@Supsboredrn more to the story
Any other recommendations ? i mean other authors
If you’re not aware of Thomas Sowell, I’m very glad you are now. Not only is he smart, but also rational, calm, and speaks eloquently so that you can understand his thoughts. Legendary stuff.
The guy even has a Doctor in Economics but doesn't feel the need to expose that fact. Talk about being well-grounded.
Agreed!!!

Thomas Sowell is the greatest living human being on the planet.
My grandfather is a farmer, he feeds everyone.
Sowell is a scholar, he educates everyone.
Both are respected soon-to-be centenarians.
Yes, and neither are listened to enough.
Hopefully they both make it there and more with great continuing cognitive ability
Ain’t that the truth 😞
Years ago I asked a Caribbean girl what was the difference between her culture and American culture. She told me the big difference was that stupidity was not tolerated in the Caribbean, regardless of whether a person is rich or poor.
You also never had a “Jim Crow” era and the islands never had many Orange Ulster Irish Guttersnipes sent there, (Green Irish were sent as slaves to Barbados, but they had a different philosophy). These differences gave the Caribbean blacks significant cultural advantages over the mainland, even though you all came from the SAME Ghanaian slave stock, the same raided tribes, often descended from the same families separated at the auction block to decide which would be sent where. Genetics have almost nothing to do with it, it is all Ulster Gutter culture mixed with horrible leftist ideas.
I think they were not as ruthless at stamping out residual African identity on the islands, they didn’t NEED to be, the slavers just needed to control the boats to keep your ancestors in line most of the time. They were harder on the green Irish, as Protestant blacks were above Catholic Celts on the Tory hierarchy. Darwin even made it anthropologically official in his pseudoscience about race, sure, horribly depicting west Africans as ape-like, but at least he gave them credit for being physically powerful and imposing manly men; Irish, however, were BELOW them as goofy pale circus monkeys, scrawny, gangly and weak, and very stupid. Walt Disney based “Lafwick” from “Pinocchio” after this stereotype.
Wow....
Words on marble right there
@@eldermillennial8330
Irish and British people deported to Barbados were convicts not slaves.
Slavery was outlawed thought-out the British Isles by the Normans in the 12th century. Only Caribs and Africans were slaves in the Caribbean.
@@eldermillennial8330 congratulations, you win first prize for Biggest Chip On An Irish-American Shoulder! Seriously, you actually managed to take a discussion about black history and make it all about the Irish and Catholicism vs Protestantism 😂 Here's a question for you: how many Catholics were there in the British abolitionist movement which put an end to the slave trade? Answer: they were all evangelical protestants and quakers. 👍

Nice job. Been reading Sowells column in the Wall Street Journal for 30 years.
I know Thomas Sowell for about ten year now, as a Brazilian, i always get surprised that so many americans never heard about him.
Sowell isn't an american treasure he's a world treasure.
People know. They just wish he would go away
I didn't know he was known in places other than America.
thanks for the info.
Sowell is not celebrated by the left-controlled media, therefore his wisdom is not widely echoed, unfortunately. That said, Rogan should've known who Sowell is, which leads me to believe that Joe is not as learned as I thought he was.
@@edwardgrimsley4401 Just finished "The quest for cosmic Justice" what a gem. Fantastic book.
Thomas Sowell is a beacon. I'm white, British, middle aged, middle class and I think every word he says is a jewel.
I'm right with you; same here
I'm white and my parents are Republican now, they used to be Democrat in the Clinton era. But Thomas Sowell is the epitome of everything my parents want for the country, they like many others (Joe Rogan) don't even know how perfectly Thomas describes these issues and the solutions.
We want a good economy, and a safe and loving community for everyone with fair chances for all. It's based on how hard you work, you've got to earn it. This recent critical race theory is going backwards from the eutopia that was right on our finger tips before the 1960s social revolution.
In the 1960's they started giving everyone free hand outs and deliberately incentivizing black mothers to STAY SINGLE and receive benefits, breaking up the family of Black Americans.
The Democrats did this intentionally and 100 years from now it will be common knowledge 101 of what happened... we are still in the age of denial and lies.
Perhaps you're a mid witt because hearing this guy talk about him made me not only cringe but offended.

I will seriously weep when Thomas Sowell passes. He has taught me so much.
Marty, I just mentioned that to my family not long ago. It will be a very sad day.
Yeah I hope he keeps pumping out content for us until the end.
I think of the most popular quote from Lord of the Rings when I think of Thomas Sowell.
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
I had similar feelings when Walter Williams passed in December of 2020 (age, not the 'rona). Another great one whose time is short, I think, is Victor Davis Hansen (also a fellow at Stanford).
Jesus, don't do that. I thought you were saying he'd died.
"Conservative" I think hes a bit more than that and can be pidgeon holed into that title. Regardless though, he is a national treasure. *ALSO* I wish Tom Sowell would be a guest on the JRE.
Idk hes pretty conservative bro...
I would love him on JRE. He will open so many people's minds.
@@famousbowl9926 My eye arch towards the conservative title comes in 2 parts. 1) Some of his views land twoard the libertarian box. 2) The title "conservative" has become seemingly maluable.
However one breaks it down, Dr. Thomas Sowell is a great mind and I have benefitted greatly from his scholarly endeavors and applicable pragmatism.
Dr Sowell is a truth seeker and not very ideological per se. He looks at what has worked, regardless of race, and draws his lessons and truth from that. It's the way we all should be.
Thomas Sowell went into College as a Marxist and came out a Conservative Capitalist.

He did a phone interview last year, but I'm not sure he is willing to appear in interviews anymore, he is getting way up there.
Thirty-five years ago, Mr. Sowell transformed me from a academic hard-case to the prized jewel of the campus. Just by emulating Sowell, I was a sixteen year old powerhouse. I basically lifted his perspective, voice, phrasing, and lingo and applied it to my own coursework. I later segued into my own style, but reading him was the turning-point for me academically.
Such a brilliant man
I had no idea Ebonics was influenced by West Country English, but it absolutely makes sense.
Sowell = greatest living American thinker, of any race, creed or color.
Maybe not the greatest but I'd definitely say Top 5.
That's insane & you are basing it upon the thinkers you know of. by this silly statement you made we can tell that you're greatest thinkers are on youtube. You're narrow understanding of philosophers & thinkers shows us that you are not very well educated.
Does he make a few valid points? Yes, so does alex jones. Both are right at about the same rate.💁♂️ sorry man but you made a wild statement& I had to call ya out on it. ✌💜🍻🍀

Thomas Sowell is legitimately one of the most brilliant men on the planet. He truly is objective..He does not view history or economics through the lens of his identity. He looks at social situations from an objective perception which, sadly, I do not suggest 90% of the population of the world is able to, oh? More you think?. I will bow to your superior evaluation.
