"Interior decorators arrange, governments compel." THAT is a keeper. If I had a quarter of Dr. Sowell's with I wouldn't be half the failed author I am.

@stefanoseverini3133 Or more simply put, the lies we choose to believe? Of course, there are those who take it a step further and go beyond simply believing to living a lie. Those are the ones ya gotta watch, the true believers.

Okay, so the YT algorithm didn't like my prior statement affirming Dr. Sowell's belief that progressives are the ones keeping the idea of racial determinism alive, not their political opponents. Regression for the advancement of progress if you will, even if you are staying in the same spot. As for grievance peddling, that is an old trick, dating back at least as far as Julius Caesar and promises of a better tomorrow if the right people are put in charge predate him. “The modern age is built on the Myth of Progress…Believers in the Myth of Progress hold that progress is better than the past, and the future will inevitably be better than the present. This myth is a powerful tool in the hands of would-be totalitarians. It provides a transcendent source of legitimacy for their actions and frames opposition as backward and ignorant…Thus does the Myth of Progress become a justification for exercising dictatorial power” ― Rob Dreher: Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents Or, to put it more succinctly: “People fascinated by the idea of progress never suspect that every step forward is also a step on the way to the end.” ― Milan Kundera
