Dear Coach,
While I do not doubt that you have many leather-bound books in that exquisite and extensive library of yours, I'm rather curious to know why you are imploring us all to read 'The arrogance of intellectuals' when no such book by Thomas Sowell exists. It appears as though you have fallen victim to your own reckless stupidity once again by assuming that the YouTube video is also the title of the book being discussed. I understand that you lack the cognitive capacity to read and comprehend Intellectuals and Society, but I would suggest that you at least try to watch the first few minutes of any video you post in future so as to avoid another embarrassing gaffe which exposes you as the disingenuous, illiterate little imbecile that you clearly are.
Additionally, while we are on the subject of your favourite authors, I wonder if you may share your views on the idea of a 'negative income tax' or unconditional basic income - as advocated by many liberals and discussed by Friedman in Capitalism and Freedom (p.192). I assume you have it in that extensive library of yours, given that you regard his works as 'pure gold'. Do you view it as an advantageous arrangement to tackle the specific issue of poverty, and to what extent would you argue that it is likely to reduce the incentives of those recipients to help themselves compared to other proposed alternatives?
