Thomas Sowell Weekend

Tired of discussions about a certain person in our health care bureaucracy? One person I encountered on social media who supports this individual also stated that Thomas Sowell "always lies".

The Hoover Institution has decided to concentrate on discussions of Thomas Sowell. Surprisingly, they started with his role as a historian rather than as an economist. Can you think of any individuals who could benefit from learning more history?

Why don't people read Thomas Sowell?

One of the guys participating in the Hoover Institution conversation is Coleman Hughes, who decided to read a book by Sowell because people seemed to find his name to be polarizing. That book transformed his thinking.

Thomas Sowell is known as an economist. But is he one of America's greatest historians?

Victor Davis Hanson (@VDHanson), Niall Ferguson (@NFergus), and Coleman Hughes (@Coldxman) explore Sowell's sweeping view of history, his enduring ideas, and why a new generation is… pic.twitter.com/y5CsZhpAkV

Thomas Sowell: Polarizing?

WEEKEND

Who do you think is more polarizing: Thomas Sowell or Anthony Fouci?

The Week in Pictures: Grouchy Fauci Edition

“Fauci” apparently means “jaws” or “throat” in Italian, though apparently it means “sickle” in the Sicilian dialect, and certainly Anthony Fauci behaved liked a hopped-up wiseguy capo of the Branch Covidian crime family back in 2020 and 2021, but today is reduced to chomping on his remaining dignity with his gums, his jaws having shattered on his monumental narcissism.

Last week's thread, Is The Odyssey sustaining our attention?

Follow--up: Assigning Martha Nussbaum and Edward Said and then complaining that no one likes reading anymore has to be the joke of the century.
