Thomas Sowell's top 10 nearest neighbors split almost evenly between golf and conservative media — a cross-kind pairing that defines the audience's shape. No other author appears in the top 10; Sowell's subcategory is unrepresented among his closest neighbors.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.93 down to 0.89 with no single dominant neighbor pulling away from the pack. Nikki Haley leads at 0.93, the only Politician in the top 10, followed immediately by golf properties: Golf Channel (0.91), David Feherty (0.91), Justin Rose (0.91), and Dustin Johnson (0.90). The remaining five positions are filled by more golfers — Jason Day (0.90), Jordan Spieth (0.90) — alongside two TV Personalities: Dave Rubin (0.90) and Kat Timpf (absent from the top 10 by subcategory count — correction: Dave Rubin at 0.90 is a TV Personality), and the website GOLF.com (0.90) and the PGA Tour (0.89). Tallying subcategories across the 10: Athletes (golfers) account for four slots, with a TV Channel, a TV Personality, a Politician, two more Athletes, and a Website rounding out the set. Conservative media figures and golf audiences are not thematically linked, but they converge here as the two communities whose audience composition most resembles Sowell's.
The flat shape means no single neighbor defines this audience — instead, it sits at a stable intersection of golf fandom and right-leaning media consumption.
