Thomas Sowell is one of our national treasures (I’m from California USA). Too bad he doesn’t get the respect and recognition he deserves.
Thanks to platforms like UA-cam, and reactors like this, He is gaining new fans every day.
Now in his 90s, he might just be experiencing His PEAK!
He is honest and speaks against the narrative. If he spoke in the opposite, he’d be erudite and a sage to them.
@@charlesbryson7443 In truth he tells you what you want to hear. So you praise his alleged "honesty" but don't at all deal with the substance.
There is much controversy about slavery invented by those who defend it and the supremacist racism he is feeding you.
Allow me to make a slight correction, Thomas is not a national treasure. He is a world treasure
@@nadavtalbi5531 you are so correct, thank you.
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.
His is a minority view.
@@jnagarya519 It's a minority view, because it doesn't fit the comfortable narrative that most people believe. Look at it logically, he has well above average IQ and has dedicated his life to researching unbiased stats and details on the subjects he talks on. It's ridiculous to dismiss what he says, especially when those who publicly disagree are only speculating on the topics. Try to find anyone who has anywhere near his level of research that openly disagrees, there aren't any.
@@survivalrush There is no comfortable "narrative" -- and reducing everything to "narrative" is a way to reject substance you want to avoid.
And you are no judge of "IQ" or whether it is even relevant.
All you are doing is flattering yourself.
Thomas Sowell is a liar and a hack. There's a reason he only publishes books, which are not subject to peer review. His theories are demonstrably false and easily disproven. The organization he works for (The Hoover Institution) is, by its own admission, nothing more than a right wing think-tank who comes up with ways to sell bad policy to ignorant voters. He was gifted his seat by his mentor, Milton Friedman, who is largely responsible for selling trickle down economics to Reagan, which was the beginning of America's long, slow decline and provided the theories that business latched onto that have lead to the enormous wealth disparity, worldwide.
The academic world hasn't taken Sowell seriously in decades.
@@jnagarya519 There are comfortable narratives. The Left is full of them. Just review the tenets of wokism.
Mr. Sowell is a reformed leftist and anarchist. He is a conservative leaning educator and historian. He deserves much more respect than the current generations give him.
The best scholars once used to be raging leftists and realized their folly. I also think of Christopher Hitchens. Which to me is strange. I always imagine that you must have a low IQ if you fall for Marxist propaganda. But some very intelligent people fell for it.
He was also a communist. Then he briefly worked for the US government which changed his outlook!
@@argonunya8751 True. Youthful exuberance tempered by experience. Still waiting for a lot of kids to make the same transition.

Thomas Sowell is one of the most profound intellectuals of our time.

He’s one of the most prolific white supremacists
You don't know much about intellectualism. But it is an "impressive" word, eh?
Read Plato's _Dialogues_.
@@jnagarya519 Says the doofus who uses ad hominems and deflection. If you dont think Dr Sowell is an intellectual, Id sure love to hear some specifics on that point so I can mock you more precisely.
@@cadleo Calling me "doofus" is ad hominem. Look up the word _hypocrite_.
Anyone who avoids -- deflects from -- the issue -- white supremacism and racism in the United States -- by talking about everything else is defending the supremacism and racism.
For another example see Mark Robinson, candidate for governor of North Carolina.
You show the empty defensive behavior typical of members of personality cults who memorizes the cliche attacks typical of the uneducated because they don't know the difference between believing and thinking.

Here in the USA .. you must understand that if any person (who may be black) who doesn't talk about liberal policies and bow at the feet of the liberal party.. you will notice they are ignored and treated as if they have no value to the conversation. Thomas Sowell was educated at Columbia / Harvard and was a fellow at the Hoover institute .. he is an author along with an economist and will change your entire thinking on how they world really is...
If you want to hear some racist hateful talk listen to lefties talk about black conservatives 👀👀
And a US Marine.
Mom taught me my ABC’s & handed me a dictionary. Anytime I didn’t understand something she told me “look it up”.
We all don’t start that way but intelligent people figure out the benefits on their own.
Got no problem with you stopping to confirm. Other’s may not know either, and it’s a great habit to share.
Most experts are pretty ignorant. Branching out your knowledge base will give you more information to make better decisions about opinions and after all, how can you make intelligent decisions with only partial information ? You’ll become wealthy.
Hey Jay, I love that you are learning about this world and are anxious to learn more. Keep it up and read, read.read. All I can do, as a 78 yo white guy in the US, is encourage you to keep going.
Kinda scary... he's having to look up words you would expect middle schoolers to know. It's almost as if education on specific subjects has been denied to certain groups of people. Civics and history are either skimmed over or completely rewritten to serve certain agendas and to keep selected people living in the dark. It's almost as if the left fears them becoming self-aware and independent.

I'm pretty sure most people do not realize that Christian Europeans were the only group on earth to actively battle against slavery. British Navy ships sunk thousands of slave ships. No one speaks on how rampant slavery is today. While they type away on electronics made by slaves.

Geography has an enormous and underestimated effect on cultural, technological and economic development. I remember my World Civilization teacher (way back in rhe 1980s) talking about the five great civilizations of antiquity - Mesopotamia, Egypt, Meso-America, the Indus Valley, and China. Part of our discussion is why some of those flourished much longer than others (Egypt and China, specifically). Our teacher thought, and I think he was correct in this, that geography played a large part. To be successful for a long time, a civilization needed enough contact with other civilizations to trade and exchange ideas or they would stagnate. At the same time, they needed enough geographic barriers to be able to defend themselves from invasion. Meso-America flourished, but then declined. He thought that was due to too much isolation. Mesopotamia flourished, had good trade connections, but was so open to invasion that it was repeatedly conquered and lost its identity and became part of several different empires. Egypt, on the other hand, had good trade through the Mediterranean sea and the Nile river, but was protected from large-scale invasion until Roman times due to being bordered on the north by the Mediterranean (amphibious landings were even harder then than they are now. Ocean borders are both good for trade and protection), on the south by mountains and dense jungle, on the east by the Red Sea, and on the west by the Sahara.
Sounds like we were in the same class.
Yes I'm glad your checking this out.
The core question is what made "imperial" and/or "colonial" powers able to project power on others? In no case was the answer "socialism." In every case, the answer has been "capitalism."
What do you think the soviet union did then ? Politly asked if the countries it took over after ww2 e wanted to join and be slaughtered? Im sure Ukrainians who where starved by the soviet union loved the socialist paradise as over 1 million starved

I think the impact of colonialism varied a great deal depending on its nature and how long it lasted. No one welcomed being colonised, but in most cases it wasn't much resisted. Africa was not colonised by mass armies of European troops turning up and fighting battles, mostly it was a show of technological superiority and a deal with local leaders to protect them against their traditional enemies. Often what they brought was stability. When he mentioned in this old interview people saying people thought they were better off as colonies, that was a reaction to the civil wars which followed independence. The expointation of colonies was mostly in the form of natural resources that usually the indigenous people didn't know they had, or what to do with it and in cash crop farming. This would take up land, but it also created mass agricultural production which survive today. No tea in India or Sri Lanka if the brits hadn't nicked it from China and developed the crop until it could be grown in their colonies.
He is one of the bravest men out there because he's speaking facts when all people want is narratives.
I am _very_ happy that you are learning about this outstanding human being !!! Your inquisitive nature with this topic will reward you handsomely !!!!!
Much RESPECT for Mr. Sowell.
It's education in the wider sense that makes the difference. Take young children from any race and give them both education and experience and they'll be equal
So, how people "from any race," regardless of educational achievement, are treated by whites, is irrelevant to their well-being and status, because education makes them equal? Achieving education doesn't protect people from racist people who don't want them to be equal, and tell them that every day. I'm white. I have never in my life had to experience what people of color face every day. My extended family has become wonderfully diverse. I have grand nieces and nephews who are black/white, first peoples/white, Vietnamese/white, and Iranian/white. I worry every day about what these beautiful children will have to deal with as they grow up.
@@KCmidwest-wm9jd I grew up minority white in the projects. I was bullied and picked on every day because of my skin colour. I never judged any one by their skin colour. My husband is a direct descendant of slaves who escaped and came to freedom through the underground railway. Our whole family is multiracial and all have the same opportunities and regardless if some white person has racial tendency towards them it will not break their spirit. They don’t have victim hood mentality because they know how strong and resilient their ancestors were and they carry that forward to the next generations with love in their hearts for all people. ❤
@jantelgrace452 Thanks for your comment. None of my grands are being raised to be victims. And no parent of color in our rainbow family plays the victim card. One nephew is out of college, and we discuss racism/bigotry/opportunity/mental health. What I've observed about him, at his young age, is a heavy weariness of needing to deal with this frequently. A weariness I'll never have.
@@KCmidwest-wm9jd Here in Europe things seem to be a bit different. Any one with a bit of sense and class what ever their status or colour can get along well. If any one shows prejudice to colour is considered to be of low IQ. I'm sure there are a few people who consider them selves upper class who are prejudice but they have enough sense to keep it to them selves

Geography is a major problem for Africa, it lacks the natural harbours and navigable rivers that allowed the development of civilisations in Europe and south and east Asia. You cannot underestimate the vital importance of water for travel. We tend to think of the water around Britain as a moat, but was a water way. In the pre-industrial age if one wanted to travel from London to York, you would sail there by the North Sea. China developed though river systems, as did the first civilisations in modern Iraq or Egypt. European civilisation depended on the Mediterranean Sea.
❤ Enjoy your discovery of Thomas Sowell. Miss his brilliant mind in the public square today!!! Ever confident in profound truth. RIP Dr. Sowell.

The other day, I was going to suggest Thomas Sowell. I've read two of his books in the last month and I live to watch people's faces be confused when I wear a Thomas Sowell tshirt!
You picked a great one to check out. This man is always calm cool collected and armed with facts. He’s got a lot of wisdom to share. Too bad we don’t have men like him representing us in the government.
I only recently discovered Thomas Sowell myself. So far, I've not seen a single video I didn't enjoy. I definitely recommend a deep dive into what he has to say.
I LOVED that looked up what the words meant!!! It tells me you actually want to understand the conversation, very well done young sir... bravo!!
Thomas Sowell is brilliant, I love listening to him speak. He has a rabbit hole of videos to explore as well. Go for it and get some cheap education and by cheap I mean only spending time and brain power.
Probably the greatest American mind in the last 100 years. Absolutely no one will ever be as broadly brilliant as he has been.
Good for you for taking your education into your own hands, young man. This is what i associated the idea of "stay woke" before it was highjacked by the cuture war and became a semicult movement. Im right on the cusp between millenial and gen z, and gentlemen like yourself are what gives me hope that we can all get better, together, as long as we look at as many issues as we can from all sides, and make informed and thoughtful decisions from that point. It may take a while... but... We're gonna get there.
Wow, Jay, I am learning so much with your videos! I live in the UK and have never heard of Thomas Sowell until now; he is a very interesting man.
The dirty secret that neither the left nor the right want you to hear: colonialism has always been a mix of good and evil. The good doesn't justify the evil, and the evil doesn't negate the good. They both exist and we have to deal with the ambiguity. Arab colonialism in Spain, for example, brought advanced mathematics (much of it originally Greek, Egyptian, or Persian) to Visigothic Iberia, which had long been a remote backwater of the Roman Empire. But it also brought discriminatory agricultural taxes against indigenous Christians. Nobody is in a position to decide whether the sum of these two things was 'on balance' good or bad for today's Spaniards. How would we even compare them?
I actually really appreciate you looking up what you don't know in the middle of the video. It shows your dedication to understand the issues.
I love when people are eager to learn new stuff. Stay curious Jay. That's how mind gets open.
🫡
I have to give you a lot of respect for not only seeking information but also being very humble in doing so... most would pretend to know or research just before the reaction to make it seem as if they already know. Thats pretty awesome and I think it says a lot about your intellect and level of maturity.
They like to tell you the pilgrims came here a colonists for colonialism, but they forget, they came here as refugees running from religious persecution. They had zero interest in bringing England's king's politics with them. Therefore NOT colonialism, NOT imperialism. They just wanted to live, and worship free
Oh, the wonderful, innocent pilgrims. Apparently, no one told you that while in America, they were as oppressive and discriminatory as their persecutors in England. But it's difficult to fight the white-washed, racist, Christian Nationalist version of the benevolent white invaders on the American continents. Even the white supremacists in Florida want the public school curriculum to reflect that slavery taught good employment skills.
Thomas Sowell. Intelligent, wise and learned. May his friend Walter Williams rest in peace. Another historic A American.

Some of the best discussions from Dr Sowell are the ones he did with Milton Friedman arguing against black Marxists in the 1950s. The discussions were recorded from black and white tv
Glad you found out about him. Brilliant man.
Thomas Sowell is one amazing man!
For someone like yourself you wants to know the facts and truths to learn, you will find Dr So well to be one of the most important sources. He NEVER aasserts an idea or theory that he cannot back up with years of facts, figues, and research.
I think one of the more admirable things about Dr Sowell is that he has conversations with people who disagree with him all the time, and he never has stated they were evil or going to bring about the destruction of America. He's very unique in American politics because of this. There are very few calm and level headed people who discuss politics.
I love when people find Thomas Sowell. Hope you react to some more of his interviews. Particularly older ones.
Knowledge is Power!
I truly appreciate searching during the video to make sure you understand what they are talking about. Knowledge is the only weapon against ignorance. 👍
Sowell is a genius.
For the past 80 years the west and countries allied with the western powers have been somewhat economically colonized by America and Europe in the effect that America developed and enforced trade around the world where the smaller nations could freely trade without having to project military power to protect their ships or planes. Prior to WWII most trade was limited to the most powerful nations who could afford large militaries to defend their vessels.
Yo, Brotherman!
You found THEE rabbithole of truth! I STRONGLY suggest you soak up anything and everything Thomas Sowell!

The organization he works for (The Hoover Institution) is, by its own admission, nothing more than a right wing think-tank who comes up with ways to sell bad policy to ignorant voters. He was gifted his seat by his mentor, Milton Friedman, who is largely responsible for selling trickle down economics to Reagan, which was the beginning of America's long, slow decline and provided the theories that business latched onto that have lead to the enormous wealth disparity, worldwide.
The academic world hasn't taken Sowell seriously in decades.
💚💚💚Very interesting. Much love 💞
I love learning as well! Every time I hear a word I may not have heard before or a word I've heard but not confident in it's usage, I always look it up! 😊
I homeschool my kids and hope to have Sowell's reading materials as part of their learning when they get into those higher levels of learning. He's really a joy to listen to so I'll definitely have them watch his interviews as well.
Watch as much TS as you can . 👍🏼
I enjoyed watching you learn. The more you watch this type of thing the more vocabulary you’ll understand through context of hearing the words more. Good job!
Thomas Sowell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A national treasure and a brilliant mind
Britain had colonies around the world at one time. The saying was "The sun never sets on the British empire."
I LOVE Thomas Sowell, I would had voted for him for President, full stop!
Even history is a lie.💚
When dealing with the great thinkers of our time... or honestly even just random people... if you ever come upon a word you don't understand... look it up. Always. Multiple sources if you can.
You won't fully understand the point/argument being made if you don't understand the words being used to explain it.... further if you don't understand how the person using it defines it.
I am sadly one of those people who enthusiastically enjoys political conversations... and this is a crucial element of such discussions... words like "racism", "Fascism", "Liberalism" have WIDELY varied definitions based on who is using them, so when involved in such a discussion it is CRUCIAL to agree upon, or at least come to understand, the definitions being used.
A great example.... the word "Rights"
There are 2 distinct kinds of Rights.
Positive and Negative.
In short:
Negative Rights exist in the absence of a person acting against you: Life, Liberty, Free Speech, etc. (America is rooted in Negative Rights)
Positive Rights require the actions of another person: Education, housing, healthcare, etc. (The EU believes heavily in Positive Rights)
So a term that we assume we know the meaning of, "Rights", can mean entirely different things to different people.
For instance.... I don't believe Positive Rights exist, because I don't believe anyone has the right to the labor of another person.
It's very difficult to have a meaningful conversation, or even learn about a topic without defining the terms being used.
(Damn.... I got wordy again... LOL)
Jay, you opened up a can of worms here, didn't you? 😂😂😂😂
Who is this guy? One of the greatest minds of our era. If I could do a "brain transplant" w/ anyone, it would be him.
One thing that was very important for development of cities is that they are always on a transportation hub. Cities that have access to other countries via water whether the ocean, a sea, lake or river have a leg up in development. Kinda neat if you scroll around a Google Earth globe and note where major cities are located around the world.
The corporate colonisation that Thomas is referring to is that of Blackrock, WEF, UN, and NATO, as they have an agenda to make every country around the world the same. No borders, no barriers, the same digital currency-CBDC-this is being done by extreme ideologues in government-Democrats, Labour, Socialist, and communist parties alike.
It's not the colonialism that we know through history; this time it is being done differently via digital data, banking restrictions, travel restrictions, and lockdowns-not the control of land but more the control of finance.
It's encouraging to see the youth researching & understanding history and current affairs through critical thinking. Something not taught much at all any.ore.
Dr. Thomas Sowell is my personal hero and one of the greatest minds of this century! He is the #TruthTellerExtrodinaire!

To further reinforce what Dr Sowell is saying, and what you concluded about London:
Not only did the Romans conquer that region, but they established the city of Londinium as the capital of Brittania.
Now, almost two thousand years later, those named have changed a little to "London" and "Britain".
Peter zeihan is a good source to learn about how geography correlates to a nation's wealth
It’s hard to find intellectual conversations like this these days. It’s all about talking points and sound bites.
Thomas Sowell is the greatest unknown mind of our time.

India is a good example of Sowell's teachings. People complain of exploitation but the British took an underdeveloped region and grew it through architecture, schools, and railroads. They ended the practice of child brides and created global trade routes that allow the country to compete on the world stage, even today.
Greatest American intellectual living. And censored, of course.
Im sorry, but the fact a dude in a doorag is translating intellectual lingo is awesome. Helped me understand more lol
Well done brother! Thank you for giving it a chance. I will sub for this.
You should watch Scott Horton's Enough Already playlist. It's about the US's terrorism wars, what lead up to them, and how they connect to each other. It's an overview of his book, which is a must read. Especially for vets and their families.
You'd be the first channel to react to it. Your reaction videos would probably get spread around in libertarian circles just because everyone loves Scott.
Everyone should know who he is.
Colonialism is political code speak for capitalism. Its synonymous with racism, white supremacy, white privilege, and a slew of other terms applied to opponents of the Maoist school of communism.
A brilliant man few listened to
This man is a legend
A pre-colonial region would not be considered impoverished. Primitive people can survive without much help. but as the Imperialists come in, the primitives are rebranded as poor.
This is the Thomas Sowell video that specifically speaks to slavery. This is the one most reacted to that others probably meant.
