Yes. The conservative Stanford economist doesn't rely on fact, but emotionally charged argumentation. If only a liberal member of the intelligentsia had pointed this out at an earlier point in time we would all understand Sowell's pernicious mistake.

Except Sowell is one of the least rebutted scholars alive today solely because so much of his work is rooted in facts and data. Have you read a Sowell book? Every other sentence is a datum point with an accompanying citation.

And then there's your fallacy of because viewpoint x is a liberal idea it cannot be rebutted with fact, only other ideological predication. Do you not see the total non sequitur here?

I think really our disagreement is just the importance industry culture might have and how to approach it. I can respect that.

As a side rant: Post slavery society(immediate) really led to shaping black culture into what it is today. Reconstruction was awful, and all the displaced slaves had nowhere to go. thus leading to a massive norm for being uneducated.

Economic condition responsibility still rests on the individual. I see the continuation of the massive poverty amongst black americans odd. A lot of money is thrown at this issue, in the form of black only scholarships, and affirmative action policies.

As for women, I again don't see enough evidence to warrant destruction of any norms. Especially amongst industry. Women are largely accepted into what would seem like all western careers(barring those physically intensive, due to biological differences) Again pointing >>6628384
in that meritocracy governs ones acceptance ideally. Some industries are in fact male dominated(construction, civil engineering, etc,) but looking for why this is, you look to the training statistics in that many women don't go after these. Then you have Female dominated industries(largely used to be fashion(sortof), now biology, biochemistry, academia) and as a male, it is difficult to get in. On top of that you have the allocation of workers of certain genders for equity and just end up preventing more deserving applicants.

Its a complicated issue as we both know, but I don't think dismantling nonpublic entities for the sake of equality is worth it, nor constitutional
