Most people know who George Floyd is and have no idea who Thomas Sowell is. We're doomed...
"There are no solutions, only trade offs." T. Sowell.
Brilliant 😊
Love listening to Thomas Sowell. I could listen to him all day.
What a boss. Wish he was our first black president. Imagine how different the political climate would be.
"Intellectuals have no interest in what creates wealth , they are very concern about distribution of it. they act as if wealth just exists somehow" so true!
He was so right. Watching this in quarantine. This rings so true.
I’m a simple man. I see Thomas Sowell, I click
8 years later and he is still spot on the the issues still stand unaddressed.
What I understand Dr. Sowell to say is "No one is as smart as what they want others to think they are."
@ Randall Porter...Another good bumper sticker, and T shirt statement.
This ages like fine wine
Wow 12 yers ago! TH-cam is full of gems like this. Thomas Sowell is becoming my intellectual anchor in these modern times.
I'm so glad that 2.7 million people have viewed this interview. Thank you Dr. Sowell and thank you Peter Robinson.
Thomas Sowell is the type of intellectual we need more.
Disciple of Christ practical intellect. It seems most people as intelligent as Sowell can't apply it to everyday life.
Not really
You say he's a disciple of Christ? Not hardly. He loves to pick and choose he doesn't think all people are equal in the eyes of GOD their is no Jew or Catholic black or white just people God says...
@@48petey Disciple of Christ is the name of the user whom started the thread.....not a reference to Sowell. Attention to detail sir.
I am a huge fan of Thomas Sowell. I respect him so much.
Some of Thomas Sowell writings should be part of American public education curriculum. He is giant in intelectual circles. He is a legend in his own time IMO.
Thomas Sowell was raised in Harlem in the 1930's. He was transformed from his adopted Marxist beliefs AFTER he worked in Government in DC. Thomas never bought a book as a kid as he lived near a library. He has written over 25 books and in this interview conducted in 2012 his brilliant remarks about political intellectuals reveals why we need people with EXPERIENCE in business to hold government positions. A few quotes from Sowell: "The road to hell is paved with Ivy League degrees" - Thomas Sowell "The people in the labor department saw my interest in testing theories as a threat. Don't look to government to serve the interest of people. Other people's well being will never be the priority of politics." Thomas Sowell and... "President Obama has an absolute talent for saying things that make no sense but not only sound plausible, but inspiring".
“Calm would be the end of their job”- brilliant.
I love Peter as interviewer, he's a so laid back, ask the relevant questions and let's the guest answer fully, with appropriate interruptions were needed.
"There are no solutions. There are trade-offs." Great line. The economic way of thinking escapes most people, especially politicians.
Always the voice of reason and truth....I love you Dr. Sowell!
Peter Robinson is by far the best interviewer I've ever seen.
2 class acts, Robinson gets the best out of Sowell and his presentation skills and delivery are top class
God bless you and your respect for reality!! Thank you.
Thomas Sowell should be standard reading every year of school!
Thomas Sowell was a major influence on me, he woke me up from my dogmatic liberal slumber.
Sowell is a quotable machine! I enjoy hearing and reading his thoughts
It's good to see interviews and discussions on this level of intellect and knowledge. Just two educated men sitting down and digging deep, no moronic laughing audience or "interviewer" constantly trying to hog the attention and crack jokes.
I could listen to Thomas Sowell all day long....he's absolutely refreshing!
EXCELLENT interview..
I watch any and listen to every commentary this man makes. A truly great man and thinker for our country. GOD BLESS THOMAS SOWELL...
Live forever Thomas Sowell
How can someone listen to Thomas Sowell and not love him? He's so right on. I'm going to hate when he leaves us.
We will always have his books and interviews
Mr Sowell, Thank you sir for the. fantastic and enlightening.
One of the greatest living Americans. Great interview.🙌🙌
“Vision of the Anointed” I love that.
You should have a Thomas Sowell interview every month.
"DON'T GO TO A COLLEGE WHERE THE PROFESSORS THINK THAT THE STUDENTS ARE THERE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH AN AUDIENCE FOR INDOCTRINATION"
Pride comes before the fall... every time!
How awesome it must be to have this man as your grandpa. Assuming he has grandkids I genuinely hope they know just how blessed they are.
This is one of the most thought provoking discussion on this topic I've heard in a long time, thank you !
This man has too much common sense! 🥰
I could listen to Thomas Sowell all day long.
This Man is the living embodyment of Charisma
One of American best social theorists.
Once again, Thomas Sowell hits the nail on the head. There is nothing like hearing a truth teller tell the truth in spite of what is popular or popularly believed to be the truth.
Just finished the "Intellectuals & Society" audio book. Talk about uncommon knowledge. More relevant today than when it first came out.
Love Sowell... but This interviewer is the best! Best interview of this legendary intellectual I have seen.
Love that man with such great intellect and common sense!
This man should be admired by any man or woman who seeks truth regardless of race color or creed.
I would like to know the reasons 2000 people disliked this... I can't find even one
Im such a Sowell Fanboy. Hes like a rockstar to me, if he did concerts id go and watch lol.
Found my new passion🙏🏿 Study the life of Thomas Sowell
Wow, what a wonderful interview, with a brilliant mind, it really expanded on a lot of my thoughts on certain topics and helped me fill in the blanks. Thomas Sowell takes apart Obama, nicely done.
I love this interview. Thank you.
The body language and look on Sowell's face during the Obama clips were hilarious and responses too.
This man is amazing
The opening segment reminded me of one of my favourite Reagan quotes. Reagan had been a 'C' student at Eureka College, regarded by the elite as a 3rd-rate school & if memory serves, it was well into his 2nd term when he was giving the commencement address at his old alma mater, and with reference to how the cognoscenti derided him for his comparative lack of education, he quipped, "To this day I wonder what I might have achieved had I sought further education." I laughed so hard I nearly cried.
Peter robinson is astounding. Under-rated as an interviewer
This man is incredible
This guy debating Noam Chomsky would be to die for.
Thomas Sowell - A Great man
"The road to hell is paved with Ivy League degrees" - Thomas Sowell 37:21
Love it!
Dr. Thomas Sowell, one of the men that changed my life!
Great man. Everyone should watch his videos and actually listen.
This man is truthful and brilliant! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!❤
Elsewhere, Dr. Sowell slyly remarked that one benefit of a Harvard education is not having to be impressed by anyone with a Harvard education. This great interview gives more insight into that.
Dr. Sowell is truly a jewel in the crown of our great na/
A Brilliant man!
Please have Dr. Sowell on again soon!!
Great conversation
I find Thomas Sowell enlightening in many of the ideas he puts forth, and thank you for posting these. It's amazing when he discusses that intellectuals ideas are NOT tested, and accepted or rejected on the basis of if they pass the reality test. They are accepted and never tested because they are put forth by intellectuals. Therefore in any particular discipline if you want to be taken seriously you must believe these ideas regardless of there true merit or be ostracized as unintellectual.
thought this subject would be boring ..but in the hands of of Dr. Sowell it is informative and entertaining.
This holds up very well.
I am the only one who wants Thomas Sowell to adopt me so I can come over and have chats. He just seems so kind and sincere. An interesting person, for sure!
Outstanding.
Why is it that such quality discussions as this, are never on the telly. But some screwed up Osbourne family is?
Thomas Sowell's opinions are always well informed and interesting, I wish he'd entered politics.
I really enjoy his books! Great video!
I'm a sowell man....definitely!
I must say these interviews with Sowell are quite interesting and laid back.
37:05 lmfao! These interviews/book reviews are the best. Dr. Sowell is truly a living legend.
I keep myself from saying stupid things by constantly asking myself "How do I know that I know?"
Thank you you two are the most intelligent men of our time!! Not because of the degrees and trappings after your names but the common sense you are blest with ! I have enjoyed you talks any time I can find them on tube.
Thank you for your work.
this guys a real hero,i never really bought his stuff but he filped me
Thank you for a great interview!
A truly smart man.
8 years later and the high speed trains are still late!
"They don't want to know the answer" - brilliant! Self aggrandizement of intellectuals.
Like Sowell so much, wish he'd do more interviews....
I still remember watching this a couple years back . I'm kinda surprised that TH-cam is actually recommending this to me now .
His expression at 46:06 on the inset picture is gold - as is his comment at 46:18 Ï may take a sleeping pill to forget it" Ha ha ha. What an absolute legend and quick wit.
Bravo....simply excellent😄
What a brilliant honest man, with no agenda except the truth , what a joy to listen to a man of his intellectual and moral stature , and Peter Robinson is a terric interviewer
The man is a national treasure.
I am reading form a PhD in Textile Science.....but everytime I listen to Professor Sowell.....I want to drop everything and go study Economics...
I lover this guy!
loved intellectuals and society, might have to check out a copy of the revised edition - I don't like to miss out
Smartest guy I’ve ever heard
Great questions asked, great answers given
What an enjoyment. Lol. I’ve never heard of him until recently but he speaks truth in society on the videos I’ve seen so far. Good stuff.
Fact, it’s not the school you attend but the lessons you learn to apply.
Great interview! Thanks!
