Couldn't agree more. I just finished reading Is Reality Optional? (For leftists, apparently it is.)

Dr. Sowell accurately predicted the various things that are happening now, thirty years after the book was published.

My only explanation is that he must have a time machine.

I had assumed that it is a special kind of wisdom that allows him to see where current events will lead. But it could be a different thing entirely from among the vast assortment of things I don’t understand.

Whatever it is, we’re lucky to have him.

Your comment reminds me of his The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy. Almost 25 years old, and still totally accurate and relevant.
