Description

Episode Title : Thomas Sowell and the Conflict of Visions: Why We See the World So Different. Description : Why do intelligent, well-meaning people disagree so deeply about justice, equality, and progress? In this cinematic episode of Philosophy for Better Humans , narrator Charles Sebastian Whitby explores the groundbreaking ideas of economist and philosopher Thomas Sowell. Drawing from A Conflict of Visions , The Vision of the Anointed , and Intellectuals and Society , this episode unpacks the two worldviews—constrained and unconstrained—that shape our politics, culture wars, identity debates, and personal lives. Whether you lean left or right, Sowell’s framework offers profound insight into modern polarization, identity politics, AI ethics, education reform, and leadership. This deeply human, story-rich episode is perfect for listeners seeking clarity, wisdom, and practical tools to navigate today’s divided world.
