Hero of ages opens with a ferruchemist being spiked into an inquisitor. Then there’s a scene where a thug is spiked through the heart into spook. Then there’s the earring which needs no explanation

To be fair, era 2 wasn’t even supposed to happen. We weren’t supposed to see Mistborn until era 3 which is Cold War era. So I can forgive it not being super fleshed out when it was supposed to be a couple short books

I mainly look at Odium’s “give me your pain” which is a bastardization of evangelical God’s similar offer. Dalinar’s frank rejection is fascinating. Ironically Cultivation actually DOES take the pain to allow Dalinar to grow. Again, so many points to make.

Kaladin and Dalinar especially state that the Almighty wasn’t Honor, which likely isn’t true but they use their faith frequently. It doesn’t escape me that the concepts of shards gels well with Mormon faith

In contact of Sanderson the person it’s certainly very interesting. I don’t think he demonizes religion so much as he shows how they’re used by those in power. In context he has many characters who use some component of faith in a positive light.

The result is he makes no attempt to explain the scenarios where market economies fail or even rlly discuss the vulnerabilities and weaknesses of market economies. This wouldn’t really weaken his arguments but the fact that he writes what are basically text books but fail to do this is his great sin

Sowell’s work basically boils down to: “market economies work and basically solve everything, and government is bad.” And if he was putting himself has a polemic author that wouldn’t be a problem, however he presents himself as an economist just “following the facts.” 6/7

And he uses their work to debunk the Soviet economy. However the source he’s quoting literally states on the first page that no one should view their work and then claim that the socialist economies were a failure. Sowell either didn’t care or didn’t read his source. 6/

Sowell does this a LOT when discussing economics and policies associated. But if that wasn’t bad enough he also grossly and directly misrepresents sources to make his point. An example is when he quotes authors criticizing the Soviet Union and pretends these are different authors 5/

But the problem is he just assumes it’s true without actual research into ancient history economics. And actually looking into that history shows that we 1st: have very little knowledge of the economies of that era, and 2nd have gd reason to think that the forces at that time were very different 4/

Sowell has a habit of making claims that sound like common sense but in reality don’t have any backing. An example is how he will claim that the economic forces during the time of Alexander the Great are exactly the same forces that drive economics today. This sounds plausible and even likely 3/

That’s usually a bad sign because even if you’re controversial it’s usually a given that your work is contextualized rather than ignored. After actually reading Sowell it became apparent to me, even as someone who isn’t an expert, why he’s not taken seriously 2/

But you’re often taught to use what you have, and right now that’s a lot of big studies done on white guys. As time goes on it will become more refined and likely we will change things but until then we use what we have.
