I was surprised to find that Thomas Sowell published a series of articles (
here and
here), that almost exactly mirror my thoughts in "
"Empathy" Threatens not "Justice" but Predictability". I will forgo my usually sarcastic accusations of plagiarism here and simply say I am pleased to see that someone I respect has thoughts so similar to my own. Of course, I am also a bit depressed that I have to be surprised at all, as this is so basic a truth that it shouldn't require Dr. Sowell, or me, to point it out. That people don't realize the benefits of predictability is something of an indictment of our schools and our government. So maybe I am not that pleased after all.
