Jordan B Peterson & Thomas Sowell revisited Login/Join

Lately I've put down down the military Sci-Fi to read and listen to these two great men again. I've listened to Peterson a great deal in the past. But now he seems to stir in me a desire to want more, simply because of his videos, you just cannot stop at 1, 4 or even 8.
I am reading Mr Sowell's Black Rednecks and White Liberals for the 3rd time. His challenges to assumptions about jews, blacks, slavery, education, and much, much more is meaningful to me more and more as I age.

If you have not read or listened to these two gentlemen, you really need to get started.
That is all.

"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."

--James Earl Jones

I agree. There's a lot to be learned by listening to both of them.

Good call Cliff.

Try 'Vision of the Annointed'. It is my favorite book by Dr. Sowell.

Professor Emeritus Peterson is, perhaps, the most important intellectual of the early 21st century.

As his ideas find fertile ground in the legions of purposeless young men and women the progressives have created, we may one day see statutes to his importance because it is those young men and women who will write the history of these times.

Or as someone said “Winners go home to enjoy coitus with the prom queen.”
