@hthaller - Love ya Howard, and can’t disagree with that quote. But I had not heard of this guy before, and I wish that perhaps I hadn’t, if I’m reading the Interwebs aright🤷🏻♂️
The difficulty with “reality” being what it is these days.
Sowell is a brilliant man. Why wish you hadn’t heard of him?
Let’s stay away from politics.
Thanks
Completely agree with you, Elk. But T.S. is an economist and philosopher with a very big brain, not and never a politician. I refuse to talk politics lately.
He is indeed a fascinating man.
He has, however, taken a number of political positions, including candidate endorsements, which some will agree with, some not. I expect this is to which @badbeef refers.
If anyone is curious, there is a great deal of information about Mr. Sowell readily available with a Google search.
If anyone is interested, I’d recommend his own website/words for an undistorted view.
I have disagreed with him many times on candidates, but I’ve never felt injured or “unsafe”.
Exactly what we will not be discussing here.
Thanks
In Mozart’s time, concert A was 422Hz to 424Hz.
Pitch kept rising over the years and is now plus or minus 440Hz. String players often opine their instruments are more powerful at a higher tonal center.
Last night I asked a friend who moved from NJ to Florida what he most liked about Florida.

Often more true today than it was back in Malcom X’s day, I would submit.

Some required reading for those who want to pull harder on this string.
Edward Bernays. In some ways the father of modern journalism. Short books, but eye-opening.
