Thomas Sowell breaks down how most intellectuals think: “The best definition I’ve heard is from Hayek—he says an intellectual is a ‘secondhand dealer in ideas.’” “The vast majority of intellectuals don’t originate any ideas but they peddle ideas that other people have originated.” “That gives them a great deal of freedom because ideas and words are so malleable. Reality is not malleable. So they can believe in all sorts of things which have no realistic possibility and which have failed time and again in history.” “But because they know how to rephrase it and repackage it, they can just keep right on going.”

Iran's neighbors lobbied Trump against war because they fear destabilization, including secessionist movements that would endanger their own interests. But they might not be able to stop Trump a second time - his military mobilization may create a momentum of its own.

Thomas Sowell: "Intellectuals are drawn to their own vision of the world, which includes having 'social justice', because this puts them in a position to be able to run societies. It's just human pride. It is the vulgar urge to power."

Russian propagandists believe that sanctions against Russia are an act of war and that missile strikes should be launched in response against the countries that imposed them. In reality, sanctions against Russia have been in place for many years. They are working, but they need to be strengthened.

Thomas Sowell: "Intellectuals have a great tendency to see poverty as a great moral problem to which they have the solution. The human race began in poverty, so there's no mysterious explanation as to why some people are poor. The question is why have some people gotten prosperous, and why have some gotten to a greater degree than others."
