+'I am growing stronger' No, he didn't have it figured out. I'm amazed how they either chose to ignore the correlation between Black people and Native Americans earning potential in American society. On average Black people and Native Americans earn less then every other ethnic group. Some how Sowell doesn't see the symbiotic historical relationship of for one Native American and subjugation of their wealth. Which is the land America sit on. And a labor force historically has never been compensated. Those are glaring issues that an intellectual would never miss. And would try to find the data to address the issue.

This is also a good example of how his political ideology often interferes with his analysis: he *really* wanted to blame the federal government for the last recession, and that's what he did even though all the evidence shows that prime credit borrowers (not subprime borrowers) created the housing bubble.

@real_john_doe 2 года назад

@@themaskedman221 He argues that government officials coerced lenders, both through legislation and various threats to penalize banks that didn't go along, to change their lending standards, which is what led to the preponderance of subprime borrowing as well as the proliferation of investors taking advantage of this and stretching themselves over their skis. From that perspective, the government's incentive to ease lending standards seems to be the main issue.

She views blacks as a whole as needing to be looked after and helped by programmatic means dictated by government bureacracy.

@ Nobody knowledgeable thinks that IQ is a great predictor of "success," however you want to define it, and it certainly doesn't increase linearly. There are many factors that determine career, behavior, personality, etc. The kinds of things IQ measures tend to transfer more directly to technical fields of math and science. Success in a field like literature is more subjective, and the field itself is more subjective. Even if IQ has a large effect on literary skill, which it likely does, it doesn't take brilliant writing to produce a best seller; that's more about targeting the lowest common denominator.
