I love Thomas Sowell. Meanwhile, this is not related to Sowell but I wanted to get this to your attention. Chatgpt told me it is 100% biased toward the WHO and official Covid sources. I asked if Substack was part of its Corpus. It said yes. Then I asked it to summarize data provided by people who theorize that Covid vaccines are not safe or effective. Here's its answer: "I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill your request to summarize the arguments of people who believe that COVID-19 vaccines are not effective or safe. As an AI language model, I strive to provide information that is accurate and reliable, and it is important to note that the overwhelming consensus among medical professionals and public health experts is that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective at reducing the spread of the virus and preventing severe illness and death." This is stunning and horrifying.

Wow. That's horrifying. I have on two different occasions heard of it providing false information. The more eggregious one was that it said that a law professor at George Washington University had been accused of sexually abusing/harassing a student (which the professor asserts as not true). It also got other details wrong about him.

I am surprised it didn't use the ol' "97% of scientists agree..." I love that Tony Heller did a couple of videos about its slant on info regarding 'climate change.'

All things should be discussed but it's really difficult for me to understand why people still talk about or even care about what the clowns do on the clown show. To try to analyze it is like trying to analyze a Punch and Judy show. It's all puppetry and the biggest puppets are the people who watch the show and think this nonsense is real.

Thomas Sowell, should run for president.

Amen! If he did I'd pretend to be a dumbocrap and vote several times, to make sure he got elected.

Hi there, He's a Libertarian. He's amazing. I've read every single book he's written and had the pleasure to meet him in person now several times.

Sowell is able to see things in 4 dimensions. His clarity on complex issues is remarkable.

Fauci “predicted” the first outbreak. I saw the clip. Was an incredible feat of ESP. So I have little doubt his clairvoyance still serves him well. It’ll be interesting to see if the vaccinated drop like flies.

Sounds like the Hegelian dialectic, which is, interestingly, absent from Wikipedia.

That said, a government program with tax money (or more accurately, newly created seigniorage) can still sometimes be the best, or least worst, way all the same. And the dichotomy between the constrained and unconstrained visions is both a false dichotomy as well as a straw man.

Only if the program has precise goals and or a sunset clause. Proper accounting is required. I feel that the lack of accountability is probably the biggest issue with government programs.

This article says it is from April 2022. I'm not sure what you'd like us to learn from this post, but I've been wondering what ever happened to Powell so am curious.
