I'd not come across Tom Naughton before tonight. My other half was laughing out loud with her headphones on. I asked her what was so funny, she showed me the video.
I also liked that he didn't push a particular eating regime. Instead he focused on how elites try to control the message.
I've not read any of the books he mentioned. The Wisdom of Crowds & The Vision of the Anointed both sound interesting. I wasn't sure if the 2nd book was critical or supportive of the anointed.

Amazon summary of The Vision of the Anointed states:
"...he describes how elites, the anointed, have replaced facts and rational thinking with rhetorical assertions, thereby altering the course of our social policy."
Sounds like Mr Sowell is indeed critical of the anointed (elites).
