you're self-importance and exaggeration is only overshadowed by your lack of self-awareness.

but it is entertaining, so I'll give you that.

You and your kind enjoy the adulation & rewards way too much for my taste, Glenn. To borrow from that classic line from The Last of the Mohicans: "[Glenn], you are a man with a few admirable qualities, but taken as a whole, I was wrong to have thought so highly of you.”

You're not a problem solver, you're an entertainer. Your audience doesn't know the difference, and I'm not sure you do either. You haven't accomplished anything to put a pinprick in the atmosphere of absurdity that's suffocating America. But who cares about the efficacy of your efforts when failure is a pretty profitable enterprise these days.

You're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. I could explain that and how you could fix it and far more. If only you and your crowd of "critical thinkers" would STFU for once and listen.

Impertinent horseshit commentary with a whole lot of projection and self-advertisement. Yawn.

Stirring defense! Now go back to playtime where you belong. Your behavior is an embarrassment to the entire history of human achievement.

Here ya go, Glenn -- the product of your "influence":

"It is as though with some people — those who most avidly embrace the “we are right” view — have minds that are closed from the very get-go, and they are entirely incapable of opening them, even just a crack. There is no curiosity in them. There are no questions in their minds. There are no 'what ifs?' or 'maybes.'"

— Laura Knight-Jadczyk

Thank you for taking the time to so! Do you understand what I'm trying to do? Lemme know if you have any questions, and thanks again for your time!

My formal education came late in life after I had already experienced life in central Africa and then in Australia. I can assure you nothing was easy. Glenn Loury impressed me intellectually and I wanted to be better informed about the African-American mentality. Glenn is hard not to like or disrespect he is a winner. He is smart and flawed and his life follows those fluctuations. I am a white conservative DJT/MAGA supporter and I try to understand the Glenn show perspectives and opinions. I conclude that black Africa and African-American dysfunction are connected and the standard deviation disparity is the root cause. It is a tragedy and I don't know how the matter is put right. I do know that white people are not to blame and until we all understand the problem it cannot be solved.

Also, it’s really important to know the facts on Jan 6th. You nor John have it right yet and you added it to your book. There is enough info out there and Tucker just interviewed a good one .. maybe research the Transition Integrity Project.

Glenn, you are one of the most unusual, brilliant, compelling, fascinating, eloquent, honest, and captivating Americans. You are truly a gift to this nation.

I have learned so much from you and I am grateful for that.

I have your book and I will be reading it very shortly.

Read your book the last couple of days. I was married to a “genius, bored” man. He couldn’t get out of his way, went to federal prison for 4 yrs, we were already divorced and I’ve been a single mom for most of my two boys lives. He did all the other extra curricular activities as well. He’s a narcissist and holds every one else to a way higher standard than he does himself. Must be something with the extra brain power, or parent’s divorce .. it’s not color.

I just started your book and am enjoying it. I love to read origin stories. Hope you are feeling strong. I didn't know you had a falling out with the Thernstroms. I quite liked America in Black and White so I am going to find your review to see what your criticisms were.

So glad that you’re back Glenn. I received my copy of your memoir yesterday and plan to read it over the next few days. I’ve read a couple of brief reviews but will hold off on sharing my thoughts more fully until I’ve gone through the book. Hope your recovery is coming along well!

Changing the topic slightly, but this is the year for your Celtics to win the NBA title Glenn. It’s now or never for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown!

Just had to watch the Knicks pack it in for the season this afternoon—please respect my people in this time of grief!

The Nuggets are my 2nd team after the Golden State Warriors and watching this historic 2nd half collapse by them to lose game 7 to Minnesota has been incredibly painful.

Well, you have my sympathies, but keep your thoughts to yourself if you visit NYC lol. Your first and second teams have had a pretty good decade! Five rings and five MVP nods between the two of them, I think.

I've lived in NYC in the heart of Manhattan for the last 4 years haha! Maybe I'll jump on the Knicks bandwagon someday. Probably gonna ride with Golden State until Steph retires and then we'll see.
