>le black chud
Who is that on the left?
Evil Sowell (he's darker)
An intellectual
Amos Wilson, I literally have never seen him posted on this board or site.
Because no one here reads.
>please talk about every irrelevant flop
Thanks for proving my point.
People don't talk about a boomer psychologist and you take this as evidence that the "other" of IQfy is irrelevant. IQfy almost never talks about later 20th century psych.
>IQfy almost never talks about later 20th century psych.
And IQfy doesn't read.
will.i.am it looks like
"intellectual" isn't a real job title you can compare to an economist
black people, for the most part, continue to be absolute cretinous filth
intellectual just means that you are an intelligent well-read person
an economist can be an intellectual if he sources from different spheres (philosophy, history, psychology, etc.) Sowell does that in Black Rednecks
he's black and not legally moronic, that's it.
chuds who, like all americans, condescendingly worship blacks (as cope for slavery) see a BASED BLACK man parrot their billionaire-friendly talking points so they cream in their pants as a result
This is your brain on breadtube
No, even Black Conservatives agree that Sowell is a fricking Uncle Tom.
You're gonna have to substantiate that claim tbh senpai
Well that's just a blatant lie
Source: a (r)eddit comment.
You're a dumbass.
explain.
This is literally it lmao. They vaguely agree with Sowell so they parrot him because "the libs can't call me racist now!"
Pathetic
holy rent free
Being an economist doesn't preclude you from having insights into society at large, Taleb is a statistician and one of the great minds of our time
You can't be serious about Taleb. Just because he understands things and isn't foolish like most investors doesn't mean he's a great mind. He's just less stupid than others in the field. And when it comes to money you have the dregs of society working there so that's not saying much.
>He's just less stupid than others in the field. And when it comes to money you have the dregs of society working there so that's not saying much.
sounds like poorgay cope to me
I'm happy to be poor. I'm not in debt, I have a home that's paid for, and everything I need. The people out there chasing money are miserable. There's more to life. I prefer spending it with friends and family.
>Being an economist doesn't preclude you from having insights into society at large
it's a pretty strong indication that you should be ignored at all costs on any subject
Is there a degree in intellectualism or something?
Yeah, it's called talking a lot in riddles

this bot kinda bussin fr fr
Because he believes in trickle down economics and meritocracy.

Lately I've seen a lot of Sowell videos showing up on youtube which is interesting to me only because when i was a kid I used to read my grandmother's newspapers and his editorials were always the most logical (the opposing side articles were always fear mongering doomsday crap). Don't know anything else about him otherwise. Guess I'm a chud.
Sowell argues for his points based off of the false assumption that everyone participating in society follows the same moral and ethical standards as himself. He seems detached from reality because he hasn't examined the absolute state of anything since 1980. Everything he said made sense in the post-civil rights movement of the 1970's but the longer he beats the same drum he did 45 years ago the more out of touch he seems.
His book black rednecks and white liberals is poignant in our time. He’s still relevant
it only seems that way to you because you're clinging to the fantasy that true capitalism has never been tried amidst the smouldering wreckage of a world created by the very policies a man like sowell pretends are natural, inevitable, and good
It hasn’t, and seethe harder
yes the unfettered rule of financial capitalism has truly made the world a paradise and it gets better by the day
That book has very little to do with capitalism. You’re an idiot. There isn’t a system of government that can escape the inevitability of man’s vices. The west he still produced the best system that humans have ever been able to achieve prior.
Your reaction is just the result of you clinging to the fantasy that true socialism has never been tried amidst the smouldering wreckage of a world created by the very policies a man like Marx pretends are natural, inevitable, and good.
I generally like Sowell's work so I will give some reasons:
> He translates a lot of people's gut-feeling against left-wing ideas into coherent arguments against those ideas
> He's writes and speaks quite coherently, so he is rather easy to get into.
> He's a black man, which helps one deflect accusations of racism by the left.
Hope to have shined some light.
best place to start with Sowell?
Because he's an uncle tom
>IQfy - ECelebs and Political pundits
Reminder to report garbage threads
the only valuable disciplines are ones that either:
A) help you predict the future
or
B) build things
Modern social scientists were actually able to predict the future with their findings and were useful but post-modern social scientists have produced nothing of value in the last 50 years.
At this point, post-modern social scientists are actually useful because of how often they are wrong and the severity of their wrongness. Literally all you need to do is listen to what the homosexual post-modernists say, and assume the opposite to be true and you will come out ahead.

what i find funny about economists who flippantly dismiss marx is how arrogant they don't seem to realize they are. marx is a fricking intellectual giant, he's up there in the top 20 most influential thinkers in history, definitely in the top 3 from the 19th century. what has economics produced? hayek lol?
Probably the most intellectual economist was Joseph Schumpeter, but he's an oddball to the degree that socialists think he was socialist, austrians think he was quasi-austrian, 3rd postionists think he was 3rd positionist etc.
Anyone who reads Schumpeter as anything other than a liberal is wrong.
Politically yes(in a very specific sense), but economically he's unusual. While nowadays the mainstream economics is heavily influenced by him, with private-public partnerships trying to circumvent problems of state-controlled economy or some government regulations evidently aiming at launching new destructive creation paradigm(see promotion of EV's or vegan "meat"), he was influential for basically all different branches. Mises types like his idea of business cycle and his work on history of the field, the neoliberal and neokeynsian types I've covered, all sorts of 3rd positionists also adopt some of these and socialists like his takes on inevitability of socialism(even if to Schumpeter that's a catastrophe).
The fact that he considered creative destruction to be a good thing is itself proof of his libness.
>socialists like his takes on inevitability of socialism
What he calls socialism is in fact managerialism though, and the managerial triumph already happened under 21st century capitalism.
>what has economics produced?
kinda a weird rhetorical question seeing how economists kind of have been a fundemental catalyst of almost all production since forever. The reason why a gas price is like this or why this building was built or why this strategy was undertaken by a government or this institute raised.
Allegedly vision of the annointed is good but I haven't read it because I don't read blacks.
Because he's a classical liberal, and in periods of political instability people just want to go back to when people were arguing about less serious stuff.
In other words, people start deifying capitalism and liberalism, when these things seem like they are being threatened with destruction.
Because hes actually successful instead of grifting off the poor unfortunate soul aesthetic as if that was productive.
ITT: frail, pathetic vegans larping as intellectuals attempting to discredit the objectively and irrefutably true statements a man has made just because he triggers them
It's quite amusing really, just fricking hilarious. You guys are so boring and predictable, it's funny like a bad 80's sitcom

Thomas Basedwell
Reminder that Sowell is of Gullah descent, just like Clarence Thomas. Just like Michael Jordan, too, who's another more right-leaning black guy.
And that's important, why?
