Yes, wisdom is one component. But it also appears he’s been able to avoid disease like dementia, Alzheimer’s, etc. All his wisdom would be lost if his mental capacity were to become diminished. Which unfortunately does not appear to be the case with the current president.
@@jimcurry5458 Noam unfortunately collapsed in his turn, at age 95, one year ago, a few weeks before the beginning of the new bloody crisis around Gaza. Since he's now become 100% incapable of writing and speaking, we'll never know his further views on the always more upsetting overacceleration of history from Summer 2023 onwards. 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏

Professor Noam Chomsky is a Monumental Treasure not only to our country but to Humanity! I have so much RESPECT for Professor Chomsky and for representing my opinion as a Jew regarding Zionism, Fascism and the colonialist brutal project of Israel, a country based on depraved colonialist settlers who have been oppressing and dehumanizing the People of Palestine for over 76 years.
Comprendo la sua impotenza, essendo ebreo pur contrario e condannando le politiche di Israele ne riceve danno ugualmente. Questa è anche una mia esperienza dall’ inizio della guerra in Ucraina, sono italiana, avrei preferito la diplomazia invece dell’invio armi e sono giudicata dal resto del mondo non occidentale per questo, ma anche dagli occidentali favorevoli alla balcanizzazione della Russia e quindi prosecuzione guerra, posizione difficile ma continuo a tenerla.
Apprezzo il prof. e gli sono grata da molto tempo, per aver parlato della manipolazione come metodo di gestione della massa. Coloro che hanno avuto ruoli politici,una volta risolti i bisogni primari di sopravvivenza del popolo che rappresentavano, avrebbero dovuto far evolvere i singoli ed educarli a relazioni umane più nutrienti, invece le risorse si sono destinate a consumi superflui che creano danni sia all’interno dell’ individuo che all’ ambiente. Per evitare il futuro catastrofico la percentuale di persone in grado di assimilare, anche in piccola parte i valori del Prof, dovrebbe aumentare di molto, sarà possibile con le sfide che abbiamo e col poco tempo rimasto?

Honestly, it didn't 'change' my worldviews but helped me get more confidence in what I used to feel instinctively, and, above all, Prof. Chomsky provided us the very tools in order to analyze as sharply as possible the illusional societies we're living in.

I see very many admiring comments- justly admiring comments- on Noam Chomsky's intellect, scholarship, "brilliant mind"., "learned mind". But these judgements, while true enough, fall far short of who he is. He is a man of peerless humanity, with a profound moral centre equal to his intellect - an intellect he uses tirelessly in service of waking us up.. ..
And yet, most of us, including me, are still sleeping... Or just waking up, still not knowing what to do with our day... How to even try to change anything in this world? Words are easy, action is lacking, because it is not easy, it takes action...
Yeah, right. He's married with a Brazilian communist, he lives in Brazil now, and he supports Lula who is a corrupt convicted felon who rigged the elections and became Brazil's communist dictator. I am Brazilian, I know it all. The question is; how can a man of peerless humanity as you put it, be on the side of such scoundrels? Noam is gonna vote for Skamala. How gullible is that? If this old fart is a Renaissance man I'm going to run for Dalai Lama and win!
He is an open antisemite, and the fact that he is an intellectual and people listen to him and admire his intellect like you do, makes him one of the most harmful types of racists.

What about concentration of power and wealth, oligarchy, society under strong algorithmic pressure or even techno-feudalism? Perhaps the bipolar "two Cs" of the Cold War - ideologies which fill entire libraries, but were only taken by the letter, faithfully adhered to, where the political power game, practical requirements and opportunity allowed - have become an obsolete framing in the age of AI, robotics, space exploration and expansion, global marketplace of ideas.
Our problem is that we think loving each other outside of our immediate families is OPTIONAL, and that competing with each other is the norm. But we are wrong. Competition only happens in immature ecosystems and societies. Such as dominate today. But cooperation is the dominant relationship that exists in all mature ecosystems and societies, and especially within multicellular organisms, which are the most mature ecosystems of all. But true cooperation requires that we love each other, as the organisms of all mature ecosystems do. As we tire, or run out of energy, for the competition of immaturity, we will eventually begin to love each other and learn to cooperate and build egalitarian societies, as all mature cultures, living in mature ecosystems do. But right now, we are at the height of competition.
i agree and disagree. competition can also bring out the best in people. look at the olympics - it brings the world together... competitive sports create excitement. a lot of people look forword to coming home and watching a game. its an escape. its the thrill of the chase/the thrill of the hunt. it makes us strive to improve.

And each time the urgent warnings of global warming appear on social media, there are literally hundreds of thousands who laugh out loud and "explain" why it's irrelevant. So maybe the most pressing issue is EDUCATION.
Was literally talking to my dad the other day and he said "We won't run out of oil before you die, don't worry." What the actual fuck. Are we doomed like ants in a death spiral? The majority just ignoring all the signs and not even ignoring it but actively preventing solutions. I'm not worried for myself, but I do have a niece, and he has a granddaughter, so yes, I still worry.
Chomsky was one of my intellectual Heros! I listen His speeches, read His books... Encounter by his works anarchism! And I was blown away!! Until the Corona crisis!!! Unforgivable is that he never correct his wrong View, that unvaccinated people heating Up the Corona crisis, neither He talk about the Corona crisis itself.
Agreed. 100%. Ditto here. I realized he is human and scares easy. It was not about health our, Its about control. Never was about health crisis. Todays global data proves as much. Can you say "scaammed"
❤ Thank you Prof Chomsky for your learned, wise analysis. I only pray that more young people have open enough minds to give you an attentive hearing. I agree with almost all of what you said except maybe the vaccine issue invovling faith in our scientific institutions. We really have a problem with big pharma but that was a very small part of your presentation. Please stay well & keep speaking out! You are a great benefactor of humanity & I pray for your well being & long life. ❤❤❤
I disagree with Chomsky on at least this one point: the “tipping point” in the climate crisis was reached about 40 or 50 years ago. It won’t be a decade in the future. We’ve all got about 10-15 years before we die off by the millions from extreme heat. This isn’t something we’ll be able to ‘air condition’ our way out of. Scientists are a very, very, VERY conservative and cautions bunch, especially when it comes to making predictions, and even more so when it comes to making predictions while Big Oil is breathing down your neck and super-hyper-analyzing every single letter and number you dare publish. These climate scientists risk being torn to shreds by their unscrupulous colleagues as well as the oil industry and of course by the popular media.
the economy and because of it the socio-economical system is dysfunctional and about to collapse - with a more or less controlled demolition... This, and the question of "what can be initiated and will be accepted for the new start after the reset" is important for our future. ... the weather will not change in a meaningful way. Not even the sea levels did raise, so it is all a smoke grenade, an option to make money or to attack the Germans... ... we will see if Germany will leave the US and become part of the BRICS - and simply let the USA go its way - a way everybody can see, analyze, draw a line into which direction this way goes for the ordinary people... ... and compare this direction of the people living in the BRICS ...
Basically, yes. I'd have said 10-20 years until the effects become fully obvious and unbearably severe. Some might argue that's already the case today, but I fathom it's nothing compared to what's to come. Today, there's still a huge amount of people who don't understand the severity of the problem by far, and think that technology and/or human adaptation skill could avoid this. Those people do not want to see that technology is inevitably based on a fossil fuel - powered economy, and adaptation historically often meant war, conflict, agony and collapse. As demonstrated by C*vid and the ongoing conflicts, there's no evidence whatsoever that it'll be different this time.
Would you please ask him to comment on this: Since overconsumption is the main cause, is it correct to say that the practical way to stop warming in this limited time; is to REDUCE DEMAND in economy? ~70% of emissions are for SUPPLY of non-essential items, if people decide to volunteer to only buy what we can't live without, then climate crisis will end.
Main culprit of climate crisis is US military who use 1/4 of the world’s aircraft fuel moving their inhuman equipment around almost 1,000 based around the world.
@@kellymichelley that's when people realise that the crisis is real and the cause is overconsumption. Politicians can't ask people to REDUCE their consumption, as the economy will collapse and they lose votes. Wise people like professor Chamski can address all humans for the sake of civilisation.
Government is the problem implies that privatization is the solution.

Mr. Chomsky is who lead me to linguistics. He has written over a hundred books. I was one of his students, I have written over five hundred books and Mr. Chomsky intellectual contributions are enormous.
Professor Chomsky is very wise but alas, his observations and insights are never heeded. Citizens have become powerless in this democracy to change the course of events. His observations are accurate, and Chomsky does open the blinds and sheds light on what the powerbrokers are up to.

Ever grateful to you professors
Still trying to understand this giant wealth of knowledge this man posesses? Great to listen to you Noam,your are by far one of the greatest speakers I have ever listened to. Thank you for providing us with this video to watch for free without any agendas. Free thought and free speech without any rebutals . I do have a kind of a question ? You were speaking about being incorporated like within NATO nations = does not " incorporated ' mean to ,hold the same value as the other partners ,that are joined on ,as within,a body ,meaning ,they would then hold the same weight ,and almost the same power,and isn't this where the problems start? Let me try to put this into perspective for you . If you are the leader per say of a giant country ,and the world has been buying your iron ores from you from the begining of time ,as you hold the abundance of said ores,precious metals ,then ,am I not right , in believing ,their is no way in the world ,Vladimir Putin or anyone within his governing body ,is going to stand back ,not even a half an inch ,and let Ukraine or any other country ,nation ,conglamorate ,try to come in and negotiate any value ,that is not to their liking . Further ,we ,may think we know the reason that Russia invaded Ukraine but unless you have first hand knowledge than we are purely speculating .We are only able to base our opinions on the media which is covering these stories. I am pretty sure Noam this dispute is centered over ,within,having to do ,something with ,nuclear energy ,that is flowing between ,these two countries. A power struggle if you will ,or a power stand ? These differences of ' running powers ' will continue on the battle field ,until there is a surrender or they come to a bargaining agreement.,this may be a possibility ,if it is ,presented ,properly ,and proposals are made and drawn up and fully understood by The Countries involved. Just my two cents .
Chomsky's sermon the mount! He is still with us and yet tragically he is not. So treasure these last words of a secular saint if you want to ensure your grandchildren will be able to live.
The take home message is that the human created predicament is so big and we have waited so long that the only response with even the most basic success for survival will happen at the local community level if we act now water ,food ,shelter!!
"[Neoliberalism consists of] conscious efforts to destroy faith in science, in government, in other institutions so that [the private sector] can make more money" - Noam Chomsky. Yes, and we would do well to remember other examples of undermining faith in science, particularly in the early 20th century across Europe.
The world may not know, but many citizens do know. Here's hoping that everybody in charge remembers that they have grandchildren they love and want to see grow up, no matter which side they are working for

@@springteen3743 Well, so am I believe it or not. My current 'Mission Impossible' (which currently appears is literally impossible to do for various reasons), is to try to save at least 1 single species on and from this Earth to exist beyond this Earth, solar system and most probably collapsing spiral shaped galaxy into a universe that will always exist and remain eternally active throughout all of future eternity. (The singular big bang theory is not really true for various reasons and the universe is not going to end in a big freeze). Currently, even an AI robot cannot be saved long term in outer space, much less a single microbe species, and way less a more complex species like the human species.

Bonjour de France. Thanks to all people in the world who are trying to factually understand the world they are living in. Religion, race, gender, systems of beliefs etc...are just slowing us down. Facts, keeping a peaceful mind and being aware helps a lot. Don't know if I made myself clear but, good luck everyone.
Brilliance is what many wish for, but brilliant minds can be deceived. Recall what Chomsky stood up and pushed for onto the unvaccinated citizens of the world. I will never forget those statements he made. Never forget, intelligence also creates monsters.
Curious that you choose to watch this video, and highlight that here. The man takes a strong stance against people who are unvaccinated with NO impact on legislation. And that is what you highlight? His contributions on politics continue to be some of the most cited…
@@talamattar8651 I don’t understand the attitude you show on someone’s comment. And, not interested in knowing why. And we wonder why division is so high amongst the population.
Noam, when I was getting my BS in Electrical Engineering at UW-Madison in the 80s, the place was full of guys from China and India, undergraduate and graduate students, many of them employed as teaching assistants. They were good students, really good. Those two nations should hardly need American engineering expertise at all. They don't have to steal American technology. They can invent it themselves. And they now have more of their own higher education engineering institutions now. They don't need our help like they used to, and we opened up our universities to them, mostly for the tuition. We're not holding them back technologically. They might stumble on their own sometimes, but that's science and engineering. In some areas like AI, we are challenged to keep up with them, and that's getting to be a very dangerous thing. If we are depriving them of something, then it's market share of product sales in the US, but not much. Maybe we get more clothes from Vietnam instead of China. India is walking an independent path. It's possible for US-India relations to be fairly positive.
The natural (and perhaps particularly the biological) sciences simply weren't his thing. I was able at age 18 (in the early 90s) to discern that science was already tightly shackled so as not to disrupt the big pharma and agrichemical narratives. From his 2000 interview book "Understanding Power" he states: "That’s very different from the social sciences and the humanities-you can tell falsehoods forever in those fields and nothing will ever stop you, like you don’t have Mother Nature around keeping you honest. And the result is, there’s a real difference in the two cultures. So when you go to graduate school in the natural sciences, you’re immediately brought into critical inquiry-and in fact, what you’re learning is kind of a craft; you don’t really teach science, people sort of get the idea how to do it as apprentices, hopefully by working with good people. But the goal is to learn how to do creative work, and to challenge everything. That’s very different from the humanities and the social sciences, where what you’re supposed to do is absorb a body of knowledge, and then pick yourself a little area in it and for the rest of your life work on that." Any discerning and thoughtful young mind studying any of the natural "sciences" at a modern university will observe that "mother nature" far from keeping professors honest, has long since had her hat handed to her (even in Chomsky's college days). Ray Peat understood this. Ray also had some thoughtful critiques of Chomsky's linguistic theories. Chomsky understood politics and media but not this. Chomsky also didn't really understand economics. He never grasped MMT and stated more than once that the govt. "debt" is a problem.
@@stevenhanson6057 It's less about being wrong, and more about his being so haughtily convinced he was right before even spending a few hours looking into it - which is about all it takes. In order not to repeat his mistake we need to observe how incredibly irresponsible he was in such a situation in which millions of lives were at stake. Stroke is one of the more common side effects. His arrogance appears very likely to have hurt himself along with many others.
Noam Chomsky, an American hero. I'm happy to see he got over the stroke, what a trooper. Noam is the only American I know who speaks the truth about the true terrorism, the "appearance of democracy" in the US. This is the most honest person I have eve seen. Truthful speaking is not very popular these days. This man is an intellectual giant who speaks truth to power. Thank you for your significant contribution Noam. God bless you, a true brother to humanity.
Many comments here are saying they stopped listening to Noam Chomsky after he said/did something they didn't agree with. It's highly unlikely that any 2 people would agree 100% on everything. Do these people have any friends, I wonder. To discount a large% of wisdom for a disagreement on a tiny% is like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Can somebody hook up better audio recording quality for Noam? These videos have all kinds of digital noise. Not sure if it’s a bad microphone or the method of recording?
"There are huge non climate effects of carbon dioxide which are overwhelmingly favorable which are not taken into account. To me that's the main issue that the earth is actually growing greener. This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
Where might we find that satellite data? "The whole earth is growing greener" could mean loss of snow cover, algal blooms and many moldy old people. Here they're going for Green Energy that will kill every species with Chinese solar panels, access roads and barbed wire. Goodbye eagles and raptors, the American southwest needs AC.
Our entire human ecosystem is based on the climate of decades past and is woefully unprepared for the accelerating changes in our climate. Just look at the home insurance crisis developing in Florida, Texas, Iowa and California.... People either can't afford home insurance or it just isn't even available privately in many areas. What do you think that is going to do to the real estate market? And that is just the tiny tip of the iceberg of hurt that is coming our way like freight train.
I'm very grateful for Chomsky taking so many, many interviews in the last few years. Life is short for everyone and even in his latest years, prior to the recent stroke, he took every opportunity to broadcast his incredible insights with a deep desire to help the direction, even if it is like moving a titanic ship with one person, of the world.
*On GENOCIDE:* Chomsky: I just think the term is way overused. Hitler carried out genocide. That’s true. It was in the case of the Nazis-a determined and explicit effort to essentially wipe out populations that they wanted to disappear from the face of the earth. That’s genocide. The Jews and the Gypsies were the primary victims. There were other cases where there has been mass killing. The highest per capita death rate in the world since the 1970s has been East Timor. In the late 1970s, it was by far in the lead. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t call it genocide. I don’t think it was a planned effort to wipe out the entire population, though it may well have killed off a quarter or so of the population. *In the case of Bosnia - where the proportions killed are far less - it was horrifying, but it was certainly far less than that, whatever judgment one makes, even the more extreme judgments. I just am reluctant to use the term.*
This is an old interview (2023, pre Oct 7). JIC your comment is trying to suggest that Chomsky might not consider what's happening in Palestine and Gaza as Genocide which he doesn't/wouldn't...Re Bosnia Genocide isn't only defined by numbers..
As a black American, a descendant of slavery, I'd like to add my view on the subject. How does one account for what's dead or alive and the cause of it? I would say that you can be dead, denied human rights, and yet be playing basketball in the NBA. In other words, many of us are members of the living dead, which is why nobody cares in general about human life, for they know it is possible to be dead while being alive, and so really see no point in doing anything about it, as they have become accustomed to the reality. Homelessness, in the richest country /Empire in the world, makes for a good example to make the point of how we're dead, most of us, while being alive. Why homelessness is not considered an "effective" form of slow methodical genocide, or close enough akin to it, is beyond my comprehension. Counting the number of bodies of one group versus another to me is rather risible and pathetic. Obviously, those groups are considered more valuable than other groups' losses cannot be measured by quantity alone. Do black lives matter as much as other lives? We don't care about humans we care about PROPERTY (which humans can also be as WE have no human rights that can be defended. I lost a member of my family, my only child, and son, because of this thing called the practice of family law, which is a fraud. I cannot see my granddaughters because of the brainwashing. There are no objective criteria applied in the court process. I was black, my wife was white (of the fighting Irish), and my brother-laws were lawyers with plenty of money, and that was that. One afternoon, my family which had been trying to survive for 400 years, was obliterated in less than 20 minutes. Our children are being abused under the color of law and no one seems to notice, in other words. This should give you some idea of how bad things really are and just how many of us are so darn stupid, and ignorant. Most people assume that those with titles and suits and ties are not up to pure Evil every night, every day, but they are, and any reasonable half-educated person should realize it. What was the question again?
@@anonanon6369 If the term Genocide is used then the term HamaSide is equally valid. A belief system that rewards martyrs in the afterlife leading to the death of civilians. The Israelis are clearly conducting an inhumane ethnic cleansing, the victim becomes the victimizer. But Genocide was created to capture the disease of the Nazi ideology. HamaSide captures the disease of Islam in the minds of the Palestinians in Gaza. A pox on all the shame/honor-based cultures in the Middle East.

Mr. Chomsky, I take issue with you calling a special military operation a "criminal invasion" by Russia. First, as I see it, there wasn't any alternative way to solve this problem by Russia. The West assured this by its policies of Nato expansion without any regard to Russian objections. Second, did we ever call US invasion of Vietnam, Irak, Syria, Libia, Bosnia, Afghanistan, or any of the dozens of cups in South America or elsewhere orchestrated by US,or meddling in Venezuela's internal affairs - causing millions of people to get tortured, imprisoned, killed, did we ever call it "criminal"? I don't think so.

Compare this brilliant mind at 90+ with our president at 80. Wow. It's not a problem of being old. It's WISDOM.
Yes, wisdom is one component. But it also appears he’s been able to avoid disease like dementia, Alzheimer’s, etc. All his wisdom would be lost if his mental capacity were to become diminished. Which unfortunately does not appear to be the case with the current president.

Apprezzo il prof. e gli sono grata da molto tempo, per aver parlato della manipolazione come metodo di gestione della massa. Coloro che hanno avuto ruoli politici,una volta risolti i bisogni primari di sopravvivenza del popolo che rappresentavano, avrebbero dovuto far evolvere i singoli ed educarli a relazioni umane più nutrienti, invece le risorse si sono destinate a consumi superflui che creano danni sia all’interno dell’ individuo che all’ ambiente.

I see very many admiring comments- justly admiring comments- on Noam Chomsky's intellect, scholarship, "brilliant mind"., "learned mind".
But these judgements, while true enough, fall far short of who he is.
He is a man of peerless humanity, with a profound moral centre equal to his intellect - an intellect he uses tirelessly in service of waking us up.. ..
And yet, most of us, including me, are still sleeping... Or just waking up, still not knowing what to do with our day... How to even try to change anything in this world? Words are easy, action is lacking, because it is not easy, it takes action...
May you grow and mature enough to realize the level of cringe in your laudations.
Yeah, right. He's married with a Brazilian communist, he lives in Brazil now, and he supports Lula who is a corrupt convicted felon who rigged the elections and became Brazil's communist dictator. I am Brazilian, I know it all. The question is; how can a man of peerless humanity as you put it, be on the side of such scoundrels? Noam is gonna vote for Skamala. How gullible is that? If this old fart is a Renaissance man I'm going to run for Dalai Lama and win!
He is an open antisemite, and the fact that he is an intellectual and people listen to him and admire his intellect like you do, makes him one of the most harmful types of racists.

Our problem is that we think loving each other outside of our immediate families is OPTIONAL, and that competing with each other is the norm. But we are wrong. Competition only happens in immature ecosystems and societies. Such as dominate today. But cooperation is the dominant relationship that exists in all mature ecosystems and societies, and especially within multicellular organisms, which are the most mature ecosystems of all. But true cooperation requires that we love each other, as the organisms of all mature ecosystems do. As we tire, or run out of energy, for the competition of immaturity, we will eventually begin to love each other and learn to cooperate and build egalitarian societies, as all mature cultures, living in mature ecosystems do. But right now, we are at the height of competition.
Pure projection of wishful thinking on the world
i agree and disagree. competition can also bring out the best in people. look at the olympics - it brings the world together... competitive sports create excitement. a lot of people look forword to coming home and watching a game. its an escape. its the thrill of the chase/the thrill of the hunt. it makes us strive to improve.

I disagree with Chomsky on at least this one point: the “tipping point” in the climate crisis was reached about 40 or 50 years ago. It won’t be a decade in the future. We’ve all got about 10-15 years before we die off by the millions from extreme heat. This isn’t something we’ll be able to ‘air condition’ our way out of. Scientists are a very, very, VERY conservative and cautions bunch, especially when it comes to making predictions, and even more so when it comes to making predictions while Big Oil is breathing down your neck and super-hyper-analyzing every single letter and number you dare publish. These climate scientists risk being torn to shreds by their unscrupulous colleagues as well as the oil industry and of course by the popular media.

Basically, yes. I'd have said 10-20 years until the effects become fully obvious and unbearably severe. Some might argue that's already the case today, but I fathom it's nothing compared to what's to come. Today, there's still a huge amount of people who don't understand the severity of the problem by far, and think that technology and/or human adaptation skill could avoid this. Those people do not want to see that technology is inevitably based on a fossil fuel - powered economy, and adaptation historically often meant war, conflict, agony and collapse. As demonstrated by C*vid and the ongoing conflicts, there's no evidence whatsoever that it'll be different this time.

I do have a kind of a question ? You were speaking about being incorporated like within NATO nations = does not " incorporated ' mean to ,hold the same value as the other partners ,that are joined on ,as within,a body ,meaning ,they would then hold the same weight ,and almost the same power,and isn't this where the problems start? Let me try to put this into perspective for you . If you are the leader per say of a giant country ,and the world has been buying your iron ores from you from the begining of time ,as you hold the abundance of said ores,precious metals ,then ,am I not right , in believing ,their is no way in the world ,Vladimir Putin or anyone within his governing body ,is going to stand back ,not even a half an inch ,and let Ukraine or any other country ,nation ,conglamorate ,try to come in and negotiate any value ,that is not to their liking . Further ,we ,may think we know the reason that Russia invaded Ukraine but unless you have first hand knowledge than we are purely speculating .We are only able to base our opinions on the media which is covering these stories.
I am pretty sure Noam this dispute is centered over ,within,having to do ,something with ,nuclear energy ,that is flowing between ,these two countries. A power struggle if you will ,or a power stand ? These differences of
' running powers ' will continue on the battle field ,until there is a surrender or they come to a bargaining agreement.,this may be a possibility ,if it is ,presented ,properly ,and proposals are made and drawn up and fully understood by The Countries involved. Just my two cents .

Probably sometime during 23, before october
Noam, when I was getting my BS in Electrical Engineering at UW-Madison in the 80s, the place was full of guys from China and India, undergraduate and graduate students, many of them employed as teaching assistants. They were good students, really good. Those two nations should hardly need American engineering expertise at all. They don't have to steal American technology. They can invent it themselves. And they now have more of their own higher education engineering institutions now. They don't need our help like they used to, and we opened up our universities to them, mostly for the tuition. We're not holding them back technologically. They might stumble on their own sometimes, but that's science and engineering. In some areas like AI, we are challenged to keep up with them, and that's getting to be a very dangerous thing. If we are depriving them of something, then it's market share of product sales in the US, but not much. Maybe we get more clothes from Vietnam instead of China. India is walking an independent path. It's possible for US-India relations to be fairly positive.
Shocked that this genius didnt connect the dots re: the covid fiasco & actually encouraged people to take the jab.
The natural (and perhaps particularly the biological) sciences simply weren't his thing. I was able at age 18 (in the early 90s) to discern that science was already tightly shackled so as not to disrupt the big pharma and agrichemical narratives. From his 2000 interview book "Understanding Power" he states:
"That’s very different from the social sciences and the humanities-you can tell falsehoods forever in those fields and nothing will ever stop you, like you don’t have Mother Nature around keeping you honest. And the result is, there’s a real difference in the two cultures.
So when you go to graduate school in the natural sciences, you’re immediately brought into critical inquiry-and in fact, what you’re learning is kind of a craft; you don’t really teach science, people sort of get the idea how to do it as apprentices, hopefully by working with good people. But the goal is to learn how to do creative work, and to challenge everything. That’s very different from the humanities and the social sciences, where what you’re supposed to do is absorb a body of knowledge, and then pick yourself a little area in it and for the rest of your life work on that."
Any discerning and thoughtful young mind studying any of the natural "sciences" at a modern university will observe that "mother nature" far from keeping professors honest, has long since had her hat handed to her (even in Chomsky's college days). Ray Peat understood this. Ray also had some thoughtful critiques of Chomsky's linguistic theories. Chomsky understood politics and media but not this. Chomsky also didn't really understand economics. He never grasped MMT and stated more than once that the govt. "debt" is a problem.
He went as far as saying the people refusing the vaxx should be rounded up and held in camps away from the vaxxed. You lost me, sorry.

Can somebody hook up better audio recording quality for Noam? These videos have all kinds of digital noise. Not sure if it’s a bad microphone or the method of recording?
"There are huge non climate effects of carbon dioxide which are overwhelmingly favorable which are not taken into account. To me that's the main issue that the earth is actually growing greener. This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
That's good but being unable to live due to extreme heat is disastrous. Tyson lacks context in his thinking
Where might we find that satellite data? "The whole earth is growing greener" could mean loss of snow cover, algal blooms and many moldy old people. Here they're going for Green Energy that will kill every species with Chinese solar panels, access roads and barbed wire. Goodbye eagles and raptors, the American southwest needs AC.
Our entire human ecosystem is based on the climate of decades past and is woefully unprepared for the accelerating changes in our climate. Just look at the home insurance crisis developing in Florida, Texas, Iowa and California.... People either can't afford home insurance or it just isn't even available privately in many areas. What do you think that is going to do to the real estate market? And that is just the tiny tip of the iceberg of hurt that is coming our way like freight train.
I'm very grateful for Chomsky taking so many, many interviews in the last few years. Life is short for everyone and even in his latest years, prior to the recent stroke, he took every opportunity to broadcast his incredible insights with a deep desire to help the direction, even if it is like moving a titanic ship with one person, of the world.
*On GENOCIDE:* Chomsky: I just think the term is way overused. Hitler carried out genocide. That’s true. It was in the case of the Nazis-a determined and explicit effort to essentially wipe out populations that they wanted to disappear from the face of the earth. That’s genocide. The Jews and the Gypsies were the primary victims. There were other cases where there has been mass killing. The highest per capita death rate in the world since the 1970s has been East Timor. In the late 1970s, it was by far in the lead. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t call it genocide. I don’t think it was a planned effort to wipe out the entire population, though it may well have killed off a quarter or so of the population. *In the case of Bosnia - where the proportions killed are far less - it was horrifying, but it was certainly far less than that, whatever judgment one makes, even the more extreme judgments. I just am reluctant to use the term.*
This is an old interview (2023, pre Oct 7). JIC your comment is trying to suggest that Chomsky might not consider what's happening in Palestine and Gaza as Genocide which he doesn't/wouldn't...Re Bosnia Genocide isn't only defined by numbers..
As a black American, a descendant of slavery, I'd like to add my view on the subject. How does one account for what's dead or alive and the cause of it? I would say that you can be dead, denied human rights, and yet be playing basketball in the NBA.
In other words, many of us are members of the living dead, which is why nobody cares in general about human life, for they know it is possible to be dead while being alive, and so really see no point in doing anything about it, as they have become accustomed to the reality.
Homelessness, in the richest country /Empire in the world, makes for a good example to make the point of how we're dead, most of us, while being alive. Why homelessness is not considered an "effective" form of slow methodical genocide, or close enough akin to it, is beyond my comprehension.
Counting the number of bodies of one group versus another to me is rather risible and pathetic. Obviously, those groups are considered more valuable than other groups' losses cannot be measured by quantity alone. Do black lives matter as much as other lives?
We don't care about humans we care about PROPERTY (which humans can also be as WE have no human rights that can be defended. I lost a member of my family, my only child, and son, because of this thing called the practice of family law, which is a fraud. I cannot see my granddaughters because of the brainwashing.
There are no objective criteria applied in the court process. I was black, my wife was white (of the fighting Irish), and my brother-laws were lawyers with plenty of money, and that was that. One afternoon, my family which had been trying to survive for 400 years, was obliterated in less than 20 minutes.
Our children are being abused under the color of law and no one seems to notice, in other words. This should give you some idea of how bad things really are and just how many of us are so darn stupid, and ignorant. Most people assume that those with titles and suits and ties are not up to pure Evil every night, every day, but they are, and any reasonable half-educated person should realize it.
What was the question again?
@@jcjcviews If you haven't done so, read up on Necropolitics by Achille Mbembe.
@@anonanon6369 If the term Genocide is used then the term HamaSide is equally valid. A belief system that rewards martyrs in the afterlife leading to the death of civilians. The Israelis are clearly conducting an inhumane ethnic cleansing, the victim becomes the victimizer. But Genocide was created to capture the disease of the Nazi ideology. HamaSide captures the disease of Islam in the minds of the Palestinians in Gaza. A pox on all the shame/honor-based cultures in the Middle East.
You really should invest in the dictionary
Always nice to hear Chumpsky!❤
Love you Noam! Thank you for your life long work. We will be catching up studying your work for generations upon generations, which is awesome because many of us never had a Noam Chomsky to study in our formative years and it shows in some generations 🏴
Mr. Chomsky, I take issue with you calling a special military operation a "criminal invasion" by Russia. First, as I see it, there wasn't any alternative way to solve this problem by Russia. The West assured this by its policies of Nato expansion without any regard to Russian objections. Second, did we ever call US invasion of Vietnam, Irak, Syria, Libia, Bosnia, Afghanistan, or any of the dozens of cups in South America or elsewhere orchestrated by US,or meddling in Venezuela's internal affairs - causing millions of people to get tortured, imprisoned, killed, did we ever call it "criminal"? I don't think so.
I have heard him speak of the war crimes committed by the USA under every president.
If you paid attention you would not have made a fool of yourself.
He literally says every US president is a war criminal.
We didn't but he has on multiple occasions
@@Katie-yu1cv Did I say he didn't speak about us war crimes? No, I said we, meaning us, he should not call a special military operation a criminal invasion. That's my point. Are you a groupie? He is not the saint, you know.
@@voice4voicelessKrzysiek I wish you the very best in every way. Stay warm.
Thank you
He was completely wrong on the vax....
He's completely wrong on Russia as well
noam choumsky your intellect activity futurastik thought are always useful for human being
AOC is a ridiculous thing for you to talk about. She is obedient to momma bear Nancy Pelosi. Enough said about missed opportunities.
Try to get past your sexist prejudice and listen and debate the issues - class war, nuclear proliferation, and climate change!
@@wiard Many countries live in relative peace and safety today - and the more the rest of the world can experience the same; we will have less war and poverty. Nukes threaten the species, while climate change threatens geopolitical stability. It's like not fixing a leaky roof - you don't just sit there and expect things to get better!
The biggest problem and evil on this planet is peoples ignorance without knowing that they are ignorant and unaware what they are thinking and doing
I stopped listening to Chomsky when he was advocating for the unvaccinated to be barred from society unconditionally. I got it, btw.
Fear does strange things to people.
Blessed with a great descriptive mind.
Chomsky is one of them. Used to like him
"One of them?" Who is them?
Indeed one of who?
It's your second sentence that is unfortunate.
Sad to see you go,
to the side he is trying to warn us about.
Yep, made all his money on contracts with the Pentagon.
@@DoveringFifths can't say I'm convinced. I've seen his humble home and lifestyle. His professorship at MIT and his income from books correlates to his balance sheet. Unless he has million dollar bills in his mattress I'd say defence contract income would be hard to believe.
@@user-lk1rl4gg6c It's well documented, you are a low information fan. You may as well continue.
