A wonderful article thank you for it. The truth is something so foreign to everyone. Noam Chomsky is someone who can look at reality and know the distinction between truth and non truths.
I love this man and am forever indebted to him. After 9-11 he is one of the people who woke me up to the way the world works. Though his take on people like Foucault (another hero of mine who has done as much as Chomsky to explain the workings of the world) and the French intelligencia is disappointing. Yes there's some obscurantism there if you want, but even that is more like a specialized vocabulary with its own history and reasons for being. In any case, this guy is one of the greats and last of the true public intellectuals.
all the many various videos with NOAM CHOMSKY give a lot of information, this one is especially compact. i am happy my english is good to understand all of it. I BE A CHOMPSKYIEST and i never wanted to be one of these kinds of. But i will be a NOAMIST!!! Chomskyist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i am so very glad that he says it all, honestly sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovery glad.
68 likes and 2,855 views says we Americans don't have the willingness to follow an extended discussion. Biting on Sound biting will be our unravelling. The Chompster is in top form in this interview. He hasn't gone down much in the last ten years.
It’s not so much about facts as it is about methods of thinking-AND the discipline to evaluate and organize facts according to a principled methods of thinking.
To be fair, 4.5 hours of his voice and the topic of objective self examination is a lot for anyone. Most people don't understand that you can intake media for a while and come back later. It's one thing to perform a relatively mindless task for 4 hours straight. It's another to hold awareness on our cognitive biases.
THE CHOMPSTER 😂 gotta love him, makes for great listening during the day. I’m a school janitor and it made my night much more entertaining than usual. Chomsky sure is right about the education system. Teaching kids to sit in a chair, not to think or be creative. Teaching kids to socialize healthfully, think creatively, and develop logical theories, along with adjusting the curriculums would be a wonderful change . . . maybe one day we’ll get there.
Its funny that he called out NPR looking back today, seeing how the Atlantic council took that one over as well. He is still prescient today. His take on Haiti is also spot on...
I have a question Edward Snowden Be considered an Intellectual asset or a foreign body becomes a comprehensive editor. ...(How its made)... Domestically systematized radicalism is an adaptive backdoor ambridged is programming living in the nexus Well maybe two generational questions? How much does that privacy really cost? Information proposal.
So who are the reporters on the ground that he seems to be saying are the honest ones. I’m sorry, I may not be an intellectual, but I can easily see that a lot of questions are getting answers that align closer to deflections than answers. 🤷🏼♀️
The interviewer - Michael Albert - is a close friend of Chomsky's from his undergraduate days as a physicist at MIT. Chomsky was one of the few faculty members who defended him when his student activist work against the Vietnam war became increasingly radical. They are on exactly the same page politically. Albert plays devils advocate here and there and Chomsky understands perfectly well the good reasons for his doing so.
1:38:00----Huge lifelong Chomsky reader. Yet every time he opens his mouth about people's desire for truth about 9/11 makes me cringe. I really do get his critique of paranoid theorists. But, "Nano-thermite, what's that?" "Who cares?" Really, Noam? Justice? Law? Mass murder? Two wrongful wars and countless crimes against humanity? "Who cares"? I guess everybody's entitled to be stupid about something.
@gabriele papa johns is a pizza chain restaurant their motto is better ingredients better pizza, the commentator was making an allusion to that as it relates to this interview. “ better questions , better answers” “better ingredients better pizza”
Mr Chomsky helped me over e-mail when I contacted him for help with a school project in my youth. He replied in less than 2 hours. Great guy.
Fantastic discussion, Noam, you are a light in our societies, Thank you Michael for conducting it with much care and respect.
Over 4 hours of Noam Chomsky! Thank-you! 😊
A wonderful article thank you for it. The truth is something so foreign to everyone. Noam Chomsky is someone who can look at reality and know the distinction between truth and non truths.
Happy to have such People like Naom Chomsky...🌿☀️✨️💫

Sha. I just like to not be lied to when I'm trying to get to sleep
Zzzzz
You're right, right and left-wing Americans don't want to hear these FACTS. He's spot on as usual.
It’s not so much about facts as it is about methods of thinking-AND the discipline to evaluate and organize facts according to a principled methods of thinking.

Thank you 😊 so much for sharing this. I am half way through. Much to think about.
This is a "banquet" of sheer intelligence and common sense.
Well put
This is so good. Thank you both!
Its funny that he called out NPR looking back today, seeing how the Atlantic council took that one over as well. He is still prescient today. His take on Haiti is also spot on...
Great stuff
Great video thanks for uploading
Definitely doing the right thing! Thank you!
1:00:25 Chomsky says ‘cringe’ - my life is now complete 😂
Legend
Editing this must've been a nightmare. Doing the real work out here 🍻
This was so good. Thank you for uploading. Are you at MIT?
This convo was a bit short.
Wow good job five stars 🎉😅😮
I have a question
Edward Snowden
Be considered an Intellectual asset or a foreign body becomes a comprehensive editor.
...(How its made)...
Domestically systematized radicalism is an adaptive backdoor ambridged is programming living in the nexus
Well maybe two generational questions?
How much does that privacy really cost?
Information proposal.
So who are the reporters on the ground that he seems to be saying are the honest ones.

Yep.
See the early verses of the Tao The Ching on over shooting the remark.
The interviewer in this discussion is the biggest doorknob I have ever heard.
Michael Albert's a cool guy.
2:27:00 Lenin Marx
The interviewer is annoying, keeps asking the same thing 10 times
Totally agree

The interviewer needs to shut his mouth and listen

Thought this was a great interview.
@@edwardjones2202 *Thanks for ‘’the grace of [your] accuracy.’’ 👌🏻👌🏽👌
😉
Chomsky is at his best when people push him.

Chomsky is great, the guy asking the questions is disgusting
Chomsky...the professor who denied the Cambodian Holocaust.
The great thing about Chomsky is for an hour you’ll think he’s smart, then he keeps talking and proves he’s a fool.
Better questions, better answers. Papa John's
what do you mean?
@gabriele1052 oh im just saying great interview
@gabriele papa johns is a pizza chain restaurant their motto is better ingredients better pizza, the commentator was making an allusion to that as it relates to this interview. “ better questions , better answers” “better ingredients better pizza”
