I think it's just that he reads and writes. Not even a joke. Chomsky is clearly really well-read, and has written a number of books on all the topics he's being interviewed on in the Stony Brook interviews. It's a well-established fact that you remember things better when you write them down. I don't remember as much about the historical information I've been exposed to as Chomsky does, but that's because I don't write as much about it as he does.
@@DinoDudeDillonSometimes he makes things up like when he said that the founding fathers left Europe because the Brits were against slavery and the founding fathers wanted slaves so they founded a country where they could have slaves.
@@michaelwright8896 a big sort it was also they were fleeing religious pluralism, yet in US schools were told the opposite. England already had a religious plurality and the puritans didn’t want it
Will never forget NC's comparison of "the first 9/11" in 1973 with 2001's, the former a wholesale US invasion of terror that counted for nothing with the forces of international law...
Chomsky looks like one of us but he is a freak of nature. How he learns, masters and remembers as much knowledge as he done is awe-inspiring.
