Love Sowell (in a platonic way). I will read that too. Also, George Gilder’s Knowledge & Power, in which he maintains that Capitalism is an INFORMATION system not an INCENTIVE system. The language application for that would be, I suppose, that free markets are messy, with lots of changes, adjustments, failed experiments and “unapproved” innovations that deviate from experts’ & leaders’ prescriptions. It’s bottom-up, not top-down.

That’s why I love Khatz’ approach, by the way. He has enough influence and power to seize the language-learning throne, declare himself king, and tell us exactly what to do, but he keeps refusing it, like George Washington, or (Shakespeare’s) Julius Caesar.

Khatz, you need to read Thomas Sowell’s “A Conflict of Visions” if you haven’t already. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Conflict_of_Visions

You’re welcome. And thanks for making that link to language learning — yes.

Khatz there you go owning again:

“Your Japanese learning methods, to work well, need to reflect life’s organic nature.”

Awesome shizz, like always!
