His debunkings of Thomas Sowell are worth a listen too. Quite long tho, because there's a lot to address.



Part ii expected early in the new year.

Dr Economics' Discord is a pretty nice community - if you do that sort of thing?

Economics is the only profession where you can reach great eminence without ever being right.
Or something like that. Was framed and hung up in the post graduate economics area.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
