Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.
@Adfu.
I never thought I’d ever see another uncommon knowledge featuring Dr Thomas Sowell again in my life. This man never ceases to surprise!
@ccreasman
“A high IQ and low information is a very dangerous combination.” Wonderful, Dr. Sowell!
@TheMidnightCzar
Thomas Sowell is one of the intellectual giants of our age. Any opportunity to hear him speak is a real blessing, and of course any Peter Robinson interview is always a real treat. Thank God for Thomas Sowell and the good work of Peter Robinson and the Hoover Institution.

I wish there were a way to just keep this man alive, healthy and productive for the next 100 years. The world needs Sowell more than ever I think.
@scott555
The whitest of white pills is that Dr. Sowell is still with us, and hardly diminished by his age. What a treat to hear him.
@serrajav
93 and he just published a book! One can only dream to get to old age with a mind so sharp and wise like Dr. Sowell
@okabome
Why is this man not known by everyone?? A true national treasure

Was missing Mr.Sowell. Overjoyed to see him back.
@SenseofAwareness
Dearest Thomas Sowell - may you live even longer and prosper! Thank you for the gift you have given the human race, for your wisdom, humour, kindness, humanity, and humility. ❤
@jannyjt2034
The best quote ever, "A high IQ and low information is the most dangerous combination ever." Right on Sowell!
@Fortior.
These discussions with Thomas Sowell should become mandatory parts of the curriculum, in all schools, across every English speaking western nation. You'll never convince me otherwise.
@SlicedWrist
His mind is sharper at 93 than Joe Biden’s was at 35.

Dr Sowell is an American icon. I’m a 70 year old white male that grew up in the south, was educated in the public school system with many black classmates. Those classmates comparatively did just as well as any of us. Years after high school I ran into a friend from high school that had gotten his law degree and had started a “store front” neighborhood practice in his families neighborhood after being disillusioned as a corporate attorney. I remember him getting EXTREMELY pissed when he was identified in a news article as an “African - American” attorney. He responded in an op-ed piece “I ‘m an AMERICAN of African decent that happens to practice law!” I believe this is the premise of Dr. Sowell’s points, as Americans
we ARE equal if we choose to be. We can not let todays political bs divide us.
@gstephenson9442
Hearing this 93 year old talk with far more intellect than I do at 30, I realise this is a voice from the past sharing his wisdom on society today.
@MizJilly
How is this man 93?!? Lively, sharp mind, and not in the least bit jaded. Bless him.
@HeyCutie90
93 and more mentally sound than our president 😮‍💨
@ChrisTopher-vs9zz
Peter is the BEST interviewer and Mr. Sowell is one of the WISEST people on planet earth --- GREAT COMBINATION!
@naturaIIydifferent
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. If anyone should live forever... It should be him. Great guy!
@Suger5zero
By every single metric, this man should be the greatest role model that the black community has ever had, but instead most of them have never heard of them and put pictures of criminals on their shirts.
@craigb4913
Was afraid we'd seen the last of Sowell in public. Great to have him back. Sharp and logical as ever.
@kaisersoza7937
America missed an opportunity to have been led by Thomas Sowell. Speaking genius for over sixty years. Thank you sir
@Tremont24
Tom Sowell still at it at 93. Truly a legend.
@ctreid87
Thomas Sowell is a national treasure and not allowed to die.
@blakej6416
Having read most of Thomas Sowell's amazing books, it's clear to me that the conflation of race and culture is one of the biggest intellectual hurdles that our society faces. And it seems very likely that this conflation has been purposefully engineered.

Your race does not determine your culture, and by extension your behavior. Political activists continue to promulgate the notion that all these issues are racially mediated, when, in fact, they are culture/behavioral issues. Now, certainly there is a correlation between race and culture, but as anyone who has taken an elementary class on logic should understand, correlation is not causation.
@davidkervin
Great interview Peter. We need more of Thomas Sowell's wisdom in this day and age.
@monikapineda9048
What a mind! What sharpness! He quotes numbers and statistics with an easement that people half his age are not capable of! Always amazed at his wisdom!
