Are you certain of that? I think this is the antithesis of that. This guy completely recognizes that he is not better than anybody else just because he’s a Harvard professor. I think Thomas would applaud this guy’s talk, although the only person that can say for sure is TS himself.

I’m listening to this in my car and really digging what this guy has to say and I agree completely but then at the 15 minute mark I almost spit out my coffee when he made the point about the public being sceptical of vaccines and masks and the advice of Dr. Fauci. It was Dr. Fauci himself who deliberately lied about masks. He believes in masks and he told the public not to wear them. He had an agenda of making sure the hospitals had enough so he blatantly lied and we knew it (in addition to the fact he lied about funding the Chinese lab and all of that stuff). So I understand his point, but bringing it back to one of the worst public figure liars imaginable was breathtakingly ignorant. How he could use Fauci as an example of misplaced scepticism is absolutely astounding. There are no words to describe the level of that cognitive dissonance.

You’re the second person do use Thomas Sowell as a rebuttalTo this guy but I think Thomas would think this guy is awesome. He is saying that people with a fancy Ivy League degree are no better than anyone else and they shouldn’t mistake their position for being a superior human. He’s also saying that there is more value and white people contribute to society than just academic or financial success. I really don’t understand why so many people are pushing back against that. I think this guy is on your side

@tompeargin8319 "I follow what you are saying, and appreciate your polite response, but I can't agree with you." No worries. Neither of us are inside Sowell's head so of course I can't say I'm right with 100% certainty
