Not sure what he’s most active on, Twitter most likely. Looking into VOAT myself lately, it’s an uncensored Reddit.

misteraven Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Oof... Works at Stanford. Can't even imagine how hostile an environment that must be for someone that thinks like him. Is it me or is he largely ignored by most of the MSM? No doubt if he was a while male, his name would be synonymous with entitled racist male. Curious how they navigate around an individual like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteraven Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Exceedingly impressive: Thomas Sowell (/soʊl/; born June 30, 1930) is an American economist and social theorist who is currently a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. Sowell was born in North Carolina, but grew up in Harlem, New York. He dropped out of high school and served in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. He received a bachelor's degree, graduating magna cum laude[6] from Harvard University in 1958 and a master's degree from Columbia University in 1959. In 1968, he earned his doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago. Sowell has served on the faculties of several universities, including Cornell University and University of California, Los Angeles. He has also worked for think tanks such as the Urban Institute. Since 1980, he has worked at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He writes from a libertarian conservative perspective, advocating supply-side economics. Sowell has written more than thirty books (a number of which have been reprinted in revised editions), and his work has been widely anthologized. He is a National Humanities Medal recipient for innovative scholarship which incorporated history, economics and political science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sowell is a genius, one of only two living authors on my top 5 of all time list. Captivating, his books sum up most of my own thoughts on race, and economic theory. Way ahead of his time, and still way ahead today. Edited July 7, 2019 by Mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misteraven Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 HA! I only pretend to be smart. In reality I mostly read straight to Kindle zombie novels from wanna be authors that can't afford editors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteraven Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 31 minutes ago, Mercer said: An interesting side note that relates... The USA had no official Navy at the time so they encouraged private boat owners to convert their cargo ships to war ships. Even after the country was founded, there was legislation enacted in the constitution that rewarded private companies that would enable their boats to act as weapons of war by mounting canons to them. They were known as privateers and were a big focus even through to the War of 1812 since the US Navy was still just a handful of boats. Its actually considered a significant part of US maritime history. Also interesting is that these boats operated outside the US military chain of command and were bonded via the fledgling US government to insure observance of the law, but likewise, the upside was that these privateers got to keep the ships and cargo of enemy boats. Never heard this brought up in the context of the second amendment, but would assume it helps define the argument as to whether the founding fat=hers intended US citizens to own weapons of war or if the assumption is that these rights were limited to militia under the opposing view that the militia was some specially trained group and not the average citizen of the day.

Mercer Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 You have to wonder, should there even be a limit to our freedoms @misteraven Could we evolve enough as humans to have a commercially availiable recreational thermonuclear warhead, AKA McNukes. Some say it's impossible, and some say it's more likely probably at some point in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
