I think T. Sowell is the intellectual that proved no one has to remain a statistic, Humble origins to the throne of modern thought. I will forever be inspired.

GODBLESS Dr. Sowell he just turned 90 years old. As we as going through so much racial strife and pain right now we should take some time to listen to a brilliant man of much wisdom.

I love this cat reading his own work , you get all the meat and juices of reflection and his steam of consciousness , humor ect. on point.

Only Dr. Thomas Sowell can make 60 minutes of listening feel like a flash in time. - My hope is that more people, young and old, get to know the work of this brilliant man.

Thank you Dr. Sowell. I have all your books. You are simply the best!

His humility and clarity are so attractive and appealing. Dr Sowell has soul, a deep wisdom that makes economics accessible and fascinating. What a brilliant mind!

I am happy to have all three books. I've just started with Race and Culture and my word, I have learnt so much more in the first 2 chapters than my lifetime in school. One thing that was mentioned was the profound effect of geography; "it's brutally oblivious to 'equality'." I highly recommend his books. They are a bit repetitive but thats because you cannot get away from the one simple truth no matter what the other issue is.

This man is and will be a legend.

Knowledge and understanding is key.

This should be required learning for everyone. America would be a much psychologically healthier place for all ethnicities.

this is a combination of 2 presentation Thomas Sowell did. One on the book "Conquests and cultures" in 1998 and one on "Race and Diversity" in 1990. The man is consistent enough that you wouldn't know at a first listen

I think that what makes Thomas Sowell so unique is that he asks very relevant questions that most people don’t think to ask. He then seeks answers to these questions in evidence. This, therefore, allows him to elucidate the questions that people do think to ask.

An hour well spent. If you are reading this, listen to the entire thing. This is education.

Great great great Man

Thanks

this is irrefutable, the ending required listening for all university students

Only 14 comments for this gem, shameful. What has the world come to when the Kardashians (or similar) have more cultural cache than this great man, it's not surprising that the world is in such a sorry state

Excellent..

What an awesome amalgamation if Thomas Sowell's lectures. Thank you

This man is a legend to the black community. I am so surprised I am just getting to know him.

This man should have been our first African American president!

Great work Sir, you are a great thinker...you have answered a lot of my questions that I have had for years..keep impact us with the truth

One of the greatest minds I have come to know and his books should be required reading for HS and College students

Amazing!!

"Those who use the term cultural diversity to promote a multiplicity of segregated ethnic enclaves are doing an enormous harm to the people in those enclaves however they live socially. The people in those enclaves are going to have to compete economically with others for a livelihood. Even if they were not disadvantaged before they would be very disadvantaged if they're competitors from the general population are free to tap the knowledge the skills the analytical techniques which Western civilisation has drawn from all the other civilisations of the world while those in the enclaves are restricted to what exists and the subculture immediately around them we need also to recognise that many great thinkers of the past whether in medicine or philosophy science or economics laboured not simply to advance whatever particular group they happen to come from but to advance the human race their legacies whether cures for deadly diseases or dramatic increases in crop yields to fight the scourge of hunger belong to all people and all people need to claim that legacy not seal themselves off in a dead end of tribalism or an emotional orgy of cultural vanity" 60:25

Excellent program

I read conquests and cultures, it was fascinating.

These books are now hard to find!

Amazing

Nature means not only genetics, but also epigenesis.

22:10 - please pin from which book this is from? I have tried to articulate this since H.S

Gold.

My cup runneth over.

american Icon🇺🇸

I concur

A try intellectual giant and American treasure

I wish he had spoken longer about the impact, which Indian numbers made on European cultures. Why didn't these numbers bring the same fruits in India or in the Arab world? It is often said, that European culture owes its development ancient Greek literature. The Arabs did have bothe, ancient Greek Literature and Indian numerals. But the numbers and the Greek wisdom had very little impact on Arabian culture. On the contrary, all the occupied countries were Arabicized and these old cultural strongholds of antiquity lost their old knowledge. Why could it bring fruit in the north but not in it's home lands?

$25K to every household, and $2K per month for training and working at home. God knows what you greedy and evil demons have done worldwide, and Karma never loses an address. We reap what we sow, so treat EVERYONE, the way you want to be treated. Stop pissing on our legs, and telling us, that it is rain. Money talks and chatty and lying BS walks. Do the right thing!
