Noam Chomsky: On Power and Ideology | The New School
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2015
- Presented by Haymarket Books and the Schools of Public Engagement (www.newschool.edu/public-engag...) at The New School (www.newschool.edu), Noam Chomsky discusses the persistent and largely invariant features of U.S. foreign policy - in the words of U.S. planners, "the overall framework of order” - and its intimate relationship with U.S. domestic policy.
MIT Institute Professor (emeritus) of linguistics and philosophy Noam Chomsky is widely regarded to be one of the foremost critics of U.S. foreign policy in the world. He has published numerous groundbreaking books, articles, and essays on global politics, history, and linguistics. His recent books include The New York Times bestsellers Hegemony or Survival and Failed States, as well as Hopes and Prospects and Masters of Mankind. Haymarket Books is currently reissuing twelve of his classic books in new editions.

I love Noam Chomsky, & want him never to die.. The world NEEDS him & his epically informed intellectual mind!
+Nuar Gladstein (LittleDesertFlower)
He's considered the greatest living mind , yet you will never see him on the media.Why? Becuase only pseudo intellectuals are allowed on our special interest controlled media.
+veryl blakely i assume he will be remebered in centurys
+Nuar Gladstein (LittleDesertFlower) He will, so we need to do all we can to prepare for that sad day!
+veryl blakely
I suppose his contributions to linguistics, cognitive science, and philosophy mean nothing, then? He will be remembered for a very long time, if not for his political views, then for his contributions in other areas.
+Nuar Gladstein (LittleDesertFlower)
His work speaks to our time and the horror that is to follow. Because of his work in books and lectures via media, TH-cam, he will be with us as long as we need him.
Namaste and care,
mhikl
Chomsky starts at 7:10.
+Sopa de Caracol Thanks
+Sopa de Caracol lol, thank you
;-*
Paul Belodeau That hair never stops, Paul.
+Sopa de Caracol I've seen a few intros where it is like "you know this guy and everything he's done, lets not waste time here he is.." and thats it. This bla bla bla jive isnt what were here for but thanks.
A wise man who has known for many decades that America is a brutal imperial power.
You need to look at the other side of the coin. It's much uglier of which Chomsky fails to see it. We live in a brutal world and America is really an oasis. I try imagining living somewhere else but there really is no place better. Maybe that's why so many people keep trying and dying to get in. Streisand says she'll move to New Zealand if Trump wins. I surely hope so and she takes a lot of her phony Hollywood liberal privileged loons with her.
@Harry F -- I think you're misinterpreting what Chomsky is saying. Sure, the standard of living is much higher in the U.S. than many countries around the world -- I don't think anyone, much less Noam Chomsky, would fail to see that. But in any case that's not at all what Chomsky and Rentaghost okish are referring to. They're talking about the U.S.'s meddlesome foreign policy and the highly questionable ways in which America throws its weight around in the international arena.
Moreover, it's not at all a conservative-vs.-liberal issue (and, incidentally, Chomsky is far from a fan of either the American Left or Right). Both parties have consistently supported American global hegemony over the past several decades.
Mitch Both That's terrible, but missing the point that we are better off than much of the world.
Noam is to me what a scientist means like Carl Sagan.
I marval that he does not give up he makes me proud to be a human being with our short comings he shows we can reason togather being religous or not.
May he live long and prosper.
The Noamage starts at 7:32.

Man, Wolverine's really aged.
However, his views on geo-politics are still incredibly nuanced and articulate.
His hair is the most beautiful thing in the world. You guys are crazy.
Noam is an absolute legend
+Darren Ryan Just the shear length of time that he's been a voice of reason and has been doing this kind of stuff is really amazing.
I hope you have grown up since and stopped your hero worship.
"No masters, no god and no haircutters"
Noam Chomsky. Still that the proffesor rocks!
I love this man. I wish he was my grandpa.
7:30
Because this man needs no introduction.
That walk at 7:11 is so good
like a boss
He's mastered the I could'nt give a toss about how I look look
Riley LaForge Google
He's got those wings for style XD
I like the "energized" look. Always a privilege to hear.
What a beautiful human being.
+Social Engineer Wait, you have sex in coffee shops?
Weird.
I go to coffee shops for coffee, myself.
This is a brillant talk. One of the most informative talks ive ever listen to.
A champion of the human race, for peace and truth.
+Bob Walsh contributing to the destruction of American power is a worthwhile pursuit.
Chomsky advocates the cooperative economy, like it or not, it's the future. It will be a much fairer economy than what we have now.
+Archaeo Myth That's called socialism btw。
BernieSandersenEspañol The brand name isn't important, but yes, Sanders advocates cooperative enterprises and whatever the name, it's alright with me :)
+Archaeo Myth The present corporate economy (Global) will not be over-thrown. It may implode again, a certainty... and is expected as a phenomena as natural as breathing. It is all dependent and according to the "Bubillian" ethos (my definition :) that takes delight in it's contempt for even the "inevitable workings of Nature itself"...one of the few absolutes it cannot control. Waiting for the collapse of the corporate state in order to form a "cooperative economy" is naive and dangerous. Have a plan. Drop out. You will seek out those like minded and they will seek for you. Go to Burning Man. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding that something." Upton Sinclair
A thrill to listen to him. May he live long and prosper, and may his talk trigger commonsenses in some leaders.
It's always s pleasure listening to this exceptional man..
Usual Chomskian brilliance.
Like an angel with those wings . He's fucking boss there's just no doubt about it , I've heard this talk already I'm gonna listen to it again.
I could listen to Noam speak all day.
Guy's like him are the last of the great conversations.
i LOVE his hair in this!! :D
Noam is a treasure and the world doesn't deserve him.
"For nearly a hundred years The New School has had a long long history of intellectually questioning the dominant discourses..."
As usual, another home run...
"any questions?"
*hands raise*
"keeping in mind that i already explained about my hair"
Illuminating
truth teller!
Just love listening to him
I feel happy that there are people who are far cleverer than myself!
Indeed a "Rebel without a Pause".
like the new (old) hairstyle.
+Tarun Gidwani It's a little Princess Leia: I presume his wife hasn't dragged him out for a haircut! Typically brilliant talk, of course.
+Tarun Gidwani Must have asked his barber to give him the Schopenhauer.
+Tarun Gidwani We you should call it the "Einstein" :)
+Tarun Gidwani total Gnome Hairstyle
+fartguy69 Im just flipin thru my Interdimensional TV Box, Morty is just around the corner....freaking out!
i hold some views on the right and some on the left, but I find Chomsky flawless on international affairs and have yet to see anyone counter his points ans not just personally attacking him
Happy Birthday Mr. Chomsky!
He's got a Princess Leia thing going with his hair.
#HairGoals #IntellectualGoals
I see that hairstyle may gain popularity in scholarly circles.
Time for a trim Noam.
That hair style though!
Is he still doing talks? Where can I find info?
Does anyone know where I can find Orwell's essay that is mentioned by Chomsky in the beginning?
Noam is testing us with his hair. I failed.
Why there is no subtitle option for people whose their first language is not English?
yippee ki yay ye!!
his hair looks epic here
Solidarity is one of those funny words. Solidarity of what: of complicity, of compassion? Money sent an channeled from rich countries to poor countries, for what purpose? Solidarity for solidarity? Compassion can be a funny word too if it is not well channelled through a positive action or availability.
Nothing less than #Genius #Geniusiscommon
I get fantastic medical care, because I'm rich and medical care is rationed by wealth. If you're rich, the system is working just right. The insurance companies, the health maintenance organizations, the pharmaceutical corporations are doing just great. Wealthy people are doing fine. If most of the population can't get decent medical care, that's not our problem. If health care costs are astronomical, too bad.
NOAM CHOMSKY
+Christopher Richard Wade Dettling D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G
Why does Noam Chomsky say such things?
Like Ron Paul says, just go to a charity hospital, haha, fucking American libertarians, they're funny.
2cents share the message and dump the chump...
+Christopher Richard Wade Dettling You know that he said that with sarcasm, right?
Never has brilliance and naivety been combined so completely in one man.
he has wolverine hair, love this guy!
A true Rock star!
7:23 for start
He is getting older, but the message still resides...
When I went there it was called The New School for Social Research. In full, the name change is unfortunate.
Noam Chomsky: the Doctor Neo Cortex Arc
Does anyone know if Noam Chomsky provided a list of references for this speech?
+RKD Grn does he ever?
I don't know. I'm think he does we it come to his writings. I hoped that could be the case with a speech.
+RKD Grn I bet you could email him asking for the sources. He typically responds to emails.
flesh and blood super hero...
Why isn't this man President?
Because he's an Anarchist, and that would be a contradiction.
Because of that hair
Because to become President, you have to propagate and defend the views and interests of either the left or right wing of the Business Party of the United States.
I'll bookmark and screencap this comment section and show it to anyone who says stuff like "if it's a female then it's all about her looks, men never get comments about their looks"
what would the world look like today if he had been a US president a couple of terms before?
My two biggest influences are Noam Chomsky and Adam Sandler.
A new wife, new hair - Go, Noam! Humans are living longer and longer, and they seem to soon be living long enough to start figuring their ways out of many ages-old prisons of the human mind. So be it. and more power to it.
I would like to study the language of dolphins. Thank you for facilitating.
I only wish I could have hair that cool.
"Fuck it-- just give me the Flying Nimbus."
Great talk, I agree with everything except for his answer to the question about the Syrian civil war. The US has a major interest in the war and pursued a specific strategy right from the beginning. He is such a fan of declassified documents, but he hasn't read the DOD-document from 2012 speaking of "the caliphate" as a "big chance" in the fight against Assad.
The people who love the sound of their own voice finish at 7:25.
My Respect for you, Father if I was No Ambition or the school of philosophy and science would not allow me in free will nor to confront please, it’s not about the problems it’s their jobs 🙏🏻. Please advise me .
I thought he was wearing headphones!
For some reason I expected Noam to sound like Werner Herzog.
HOLY SHIT!!!! ..... HE IS FUCKING ROCKING A THUNDERCAT HAIR CUT!.... THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDERCATS ... HOOOOOO!............................................ noam chomsky-O.... LORD OF THE THUNDERCATS....
HE GOES TO GEORGE WASHINTON'S BARBER
Flying nun hairdo
One, in no way unimportant factor in the middle east, currently Syria, that Noam never mentions can be explained in one word; pipelines..
Why?
Maybe it is just a 'conspiracy theory' that the whole geo-political game, at the end of the day, is all about maintaining the petro-dollar dominance?
I do respect Noam, he partly got me into reading literature of significance, but why does he systematically leave out certain subjects and perspectives?
Anyone with a more sane view on this than saying he is some kind of asset for the economic powers that be, being the banks.
I think protecting national interests, whatever they may be, is not Chomsky's objection. It has been going on for ages and will not go away no matter what you do, that's human nature. What he's saying in my opinion is that means to that end that are currently employed are hideous and should be changed.
+Klas K He does talk pipelines sometimes, e.g. here at the UN (/watch?v=MZdZSOZIb6c). Even in this video around 23:00 he mentions "'using military power to ensure access to key markets, energy supplies and strategic resources" which is a broader way of putting it, that includes pipelines, oil & gas, and broader things.
Pipelines are one thing in the Syrian conflict, yes, but this is just one aspect. There are also bigger stakes at play. The Syrian civil war is a manifestation of a broader conflict between two systems in the M-E that's been going on since the 1980''s: the US-Saudi-GCC-Turkey etc system of alliance and a coalition of "disobedient nations" and movements led by Iran, along with Syria, Qaddafi, Lebanese Hezbollah + Christians, the Palestinians, the Houthis in Yemen... The Saudi invasion of Bahrain a few years back and now of Yemen are also manifestations of that same rift, as is the horrific jihadist campaign against Syria (err, "moderate rebellion"!).
This is by the way not a Sunni-Shia conflict as everybody has been saying but a struggle between two geopolitical blocs with opposite interests. Most of the local Sunni population generally loathes the Saudi regime, which is seen extremist and hypocritical, and has more sympathy with the pro-Iran side. However, in order to garter support, Saudi Arabia has been peddling an insane narrative that it's not a question of imperialism but purely a sectarian problem and it's been fairly successful in flaring up sectarian hatred.
Have you read Nafeez Ahmed'' book "The War on Freedom"? If you're into the pipeline stuff you'll love this, lots of detailed information in there (regarding Afghanistan not Syria). But I say do take with a grain of salt cos IMO which way the pipelines are going to go are one aspect but thinking it's the end-all is a very simplistic explanation.
With the pipeline projects for Syria, the result of the civil war is that neither rival project has seen the day and won't for a long time to come. So clearly rushing up the US-Qatari pipe plan certainly couldn't have been the one objective of the whole thing. Unless they like shooting themselves in the feet.
Same thing for the pipeline they were negociating with the Taliban for and then supposedly invaded Afghanistan for: never seen the day either...
Hope it helps...
I hope Chomsky doesn’t read the comments for his recent lectures, because people talk a lot about him dying soon...
I'm worried Mr. NC is starting to resemble Grandpa from The Munsters.
Chomsky a real think er of 21 st century
Chomsky is turning into Gary Oldman from Dracula
Is Noam Chomsky the Chomsky that described Chomsky Normal Form ?
Actual speech starts at 7:21 - th-cam.com/video/w_X5czMVKT8/w-d-xo.htmlm21s
His head looks like piece of popcorn with that hair.
Why is he not the leader of the world
Don't get me wrong, I admire Chomsky greatly, but his hair in this video makes him look like Grandpa Munster.
Is that of any importance?
excellent talk. bully. also, sex and the city ringtones?
Noam Chomsky serving Krusty the clown realness
I wonder what Noam chomsky's opinion is about Tesla and what the us government took from him. Would he agree that an incoming president should release the documents found?
..do you know the story of Tesla? ..immigrated from former Austro-Hungarian empire..worked briefly for Edison.. Made a small fortune working with George Westinghouse.. AGREED TO TEAR UP HIS CONTRACT WITH WESTINGHOUSE.. otherwise Edison would have rolled over Westinghouse.. He SQUANDERED EVERY DOLLAR HE HAD and, George Westinghouse paid his rent..remaining his only friend at the end when everyone else quit giving a fuck about his ideas.. and Chomsky does talk about GE and Westinghouse.. I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'the government took from him.' Maybe there is something I'm unaware of.. However, I believe GE and Westinghouse got the big payoff..as demonstrated the actual story..
Tesla was a bit loony. Maybe a lot loony but still a genius. Chomsky is just plain loony.
?
I THINK I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE WHEN I ASK......WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO NOAMS HAIR
Is that jerry curl
nice hair
88k views yay!!
mistake at 34:18 "elements" should be "enemies". It is unlikely Iran would leak nukes to Jihadists because they are its mortal ENEMIES.
And oh, yes of course: hair!
Noam looking like Wolverine
Yeah..we know that Noam. But what about the hair? The hair Noam!
Krusty, is that you?
Woooow - what a hair-do!? Is the guy INSANE now?
CHOMSKY FOR PRESIDENT 2016 !!!!
x men wolverine!
watching this on 6/17 - PLEASE PLEASE lose the ads! To interrupt Chomsky like this is a disgrace. PLEASE.
Wolverine's dad?
