P&C drink and review Hop Stoopid Ale from Lagunitas Brewing, then discuss "the smartest man in the world," Thomas Sowell.
While he never speaks much about it, Thomas Sowell has a very interesting life story that would make a good movie -- if Hollywood cared about black conservatives.
Sowell speaks clearly, converting complicated concepts into ordinary language that regular people can understand.
At the foundation of his philosophy is two contrasts. First, between practical knowledge and academic knowledge. Second, between the constrained vision -- that takes into account the limits of human nature -- and the unconstrained vision -- which believes man can be perfected by the correct policies.
P&C end the show with a series of pithy Sowell quotes.
