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.

John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
1 Timothy 2:5-6
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the witness for this proper time.
Acts 4:12
And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

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.
