Interesting book I'm gonna delve into.

Not gonna elaborate, solely due to the eggshells I don't want people to have to walk on (I'll say nothing further about that, although.... ). I'd like for this to be able to stay here. We'll see.

One can find more details about it by way of yon cursory innernecks search.

I absolutely LOVED listening to Thomas Sowell BITD on the Rade-yo. He was an early mentor for a young Feral. I suppose he just made sense to me.
His logic was sound and it's strange to say but especially made stronger considering the source.

Heh heh... I quickly flipped through and... nope. All meat and potatoes.

The back of the book has some pretty good insight:

Here is a searing account of life in the underclass and why it persists as it does, written by a British psychiatrist who treats the poor in a slum hospital and a prison in England. Dr. Dalrymple's key insight is that long-term poverty is caused not by economics but by a dysfunctional set of values, one that is continually reinforced by an elite culture searching for its victims. His book draws upon scores of eye-opening, true-life vignettes that are by turns hilariously funny, chillingly horrifying, and all too revealing - sometimes all at once. And he writes in prose that transcends journalism and achieves the quality of literature.

Interestingly, I just found a long interview/video on Youtube with the writer, interviewed by none other than Jordan Peterson.

I like him, too. He just tells the truth, the way it is supposed to be.

I did read up on it a bit, sounds very interesting.
